Was previously a 5 star rating. Stopped playing for a while and when I returned to the game the look of it had changed entirely. The passport style which was so unique and easy to use has been changed and now looks amateurish and babyish as well as being clunky and difficult to play. a real shame.

Amazing yet infuriating. Love this game and it's great for increasing your gk but it's so infuriating that we can't get enough tickets! Barely get a couple of tickets after each task and yet each sight demands 4+ tickets!!! And you have to get all answers correct to finish the sight so you end up visiting there multiple times. Each time spending so many tickets. Change this aspect of the game to make it more user friendly.

At first this game is addictive. However when you manage to go to the higher level, this game delay the time for you to buy tickets to next destination. I manage to overcome my addiction after few times I need to wait for days to go to next destination. Now I am not addicted to this game anymore. I am free. Thanks for the delay time they create, easier for us players to overcome the addiction and finally uninstall this game.

I really enjoy the game because it is a good kind of geography game that isn't just pick it on the map. I also like that you learn different things and there is a lot of levels a lot of cities and countries. Probably the only two downside to the game is. One it takes a lot to get tickets and you earn all this money but you can't spend it on getting tickets. There's not a lot of options to game tickets within the game without using your physical money and not the games money.

It's a fun way to learn about the world, however tbe game has some glitches that need fixed, i.e. pictures aren't always available when asked about in questions, some questions go faster than can reasonably be answered and I've lost bucks when tge game froze and I hit the button more than once to make it worked. Otherwise it's ok! Now with the new update I'm not as happy with the game.

If you know avout American Politics you will be fine. If you are one of the many players from another country you had better brush up. This shows the level of ignorance the majority of the States has when it comes to the rest of the world. One foreign question about a dictator. Great travel game for those of us stuck at home. It's frustrating trying to get more diplomas when each new day brings jobs you are either not qualified for or you need to "call again". Why do you make me waste my time applying for jobs again and again? Sometimes I only have a few minutes to play and you can't pause them. I get so frustrated when I apply and 10 times in a row I get told the job is full. Just tell me how many tickets it will take to apply so I can get on with it. Just let me apply for a job will you!!!! I lose patience and play another game altogether when it happens.

It's a nice game, funny and easy to play. It's easy to gain energy and to make money. The only issues are the jobs, where the questions regard for the most part facts, people, items, events etc. based on US general history or common knowledge. It's a bit annoying because it's difficult to get several of the diplomas.

Cool game. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the America bias in some of the job categories. For example, who outside the US know about US sportscasters? No one. Changing down to three stars now I've played the game more. You spend so much time trying to get enough tickets it takes some of the fun out of the game. I know it's designed this way to make you spend real money but still.

The FAQ page, where there was a link to contact the developers directly, has disappeared. Messenger on FB is not available, because of some "EU regulations" bs. Can't post on the FB page, only comment on posts (which are ignored). So, no way to raise my issue. Things have also become ridiculously expensive, because they want you to buy the piggy bank. I've been playing for years! Not happy... PS Don't "buy" the Piggy Bank, it only gives you the coins that you have collected once.

Fun game and good, smooth progression. However almost all the questions in "job quizzes" are about America...where in America this, what in America that, America's most this and least that... please review these questions and make it at least somewhat balanced and international. It's quite ridiculous to play a game about traveling and an important part of the game is solely catered to Americans. If not for that it's a 5 star game

Generally an enjoyable app. No support or troubleshooting available and FAQ link does not work. A support button needs to be added to the tools link. I've been back and forth between 2 cities to earn 5 stars and when I accomplish the task, the city star is not being rewarded. There was no way to report and have it fixed in the app so posting here hoping to get help

Wrong answers!! A quick googling often shows you haven't done your research. :'( Too many grammatical errors and typos, it gives a childish impression and I just don't trust you to teach me about stuff. Other little things are also strange, like your choice of language. For example "official nickname" is a contradiction, is it not? Sorry, I loved the old Backpacker games... But they were serious. You gotta fix this.

Love the game...I don't know where to request support. My map of Cape Town never loads and always has a wifi signal as the . Leaving and returning to the city does not reload maps.There is some glitchy things that happen- a window that wont go away, I have to try leaving screens because the window x button isnt working... how do I resolve these issues....esp the loading of the map for Cape Town...originally visited and my wifi connection got lost...giv8ng me the same error with good connection.

Time for me to stop playing now. It was fun for a while. Lately, the sites demand more tickets. And suddenly the ads only reduce the wait my 15 minutes instead of 30? So I'm supposed to watch twice as many of the same ads? I even see some gift shop items require tickets to buy. This is how developers chase off their fans. Every fun game turns into 'pay to play'. I'd much rather buy a game upfront and outright. I'm not wasting any more time on this one.

I like this game. The concept is neat & the trivia/interactive questions are always a good bit of fun. Like most, I do struggle with the strongly American-centred questions & getting stuck farming for tickets really takes the fun out of the game (I know it's intentional to make you buy them). The real world wait times when traveling by the cheaper options can also ruin the enjoyment

When started the concept and looks was very nice. Looked forward to playing. However, had to restart 4 times within the first half hour as it crashed and many time when I will click on the landmarks to play there was no response. The times it worked it was mostly US based question but I guess this is a US backpacker game. In overall, I don't think this game is playable since it has stability issues.

The concept has a special appeal to me but unfortunately it constantly loses internet connection while playing, which in turn causes me to lose energy points and also games with others. It sometimes even loses touch responsiveness. Was really looking forward to enjoying a good trivia game but this has lead to an absolutely infuriating experience after just 1 week of playing.

Guys I swear that I do not understand why you ruined a perfectly working game. The new interface is slow and the design is for 4 years old. Also some.pics ( like the ff button when you are robbed) are at a low res, and some pic are incomplete or overlaping themselfs. It is/was a culture game with a nice interface you do not need to make it cartoon-ish. I understand that the new social mentality force you to make it in such a manner that everyone can win but..that's the trick, not everyone should. I want the old version back

Well, I did love this game. The updates make it ridiculous! Now you push a button and you travel to the place! Before it was realistic you had options to travel just like in real life and you had to wait until city's popped up (now that was annoying)but instead of taking out days of our city not showing up on the travel board they took out the authenticity of the backpacking game with little touches like that and the passport.

Trivia games have a tendency to become repetitive and boring after a while or the ads drive you away. Not this one. Mini games keep it fresh and the visuals are so lovely. The quests are a little dull with no mini games to do but that's my only complaint. Hi I'm back with a little suggestion: Make it so this game can be played offline!!! I have lost a lot of diplomas because the internet flickered in quality while playing. It really sucks the fun out of it if the game doesn't function
