    We had a great time but a couple of clues may need adjusting slightly..the unnecessary red iron ( an early clue) has been painted black. Plus the alley opposite the church was very misleading as there is an adjacent alley named ate o'clock which leads to a restaurant only and the clue became very confusing afterwards. However we enjoyed the experience and saw new things 😊

    We have done a number of these kind of walks before but mostly in London. We really enjoy escape rooms, immersive games etc. We enjoyed this but felt it lacked some challenge. The clues involved some thought but once you’d reached each destination there was no challenge, the answer was clear. As a result the end felt a little anti-climactic as we didn’t feel we’d achieved much - other than lots of steps! It was good value and got us around the city a bit, so from that point of view it was good. Just missing a real challenge/adventure to give the sense of achievement we wanted.

    The murder mystery treasure hunt was really fun and we had a great time following the clues and story. The directions weren’t always the most clear and that led to us briefly getting lost but we did manage to get back on track.

    This was such a great activity to get you exploring a new city and learn about the history of it at the same time. The customer service team are also so helpful! Before we had even begun I was a nuisance as I couldn’t work out why I hadn’t received the initial set up message (completely my own fault) but the person I dealt with was so helpful and lovely. It really started our experience on a high and the rest did not disappoint, we even encountered some Viking’s on our way around due to festival event this weekend 😛 Would absolutely recommend this to anybody looking for a fun way to explore!
