Not impressed with this tour. Started as what felt like a tour of Birmingham car parks; took me up dodgy looking streets; map took me to the wrong places; many clues repetitive and didn’t take me to the top spots. I stopped for some food and it kicked me out and took an age to get back in. Sorry this needs some work

The idea is good, but even though we felt we had the only possible answer first one location it did not work. Another location was off the beaten track, unpleasant, had scaffolding, and the clue did not seem to exist. Password management in the app is clunky, dues not work well. For what it is, it is poor value for money. The App and Birmingham haunted need some work Not worth the money.
