    Great fun and a fantastic way to see York and navigate the city, took in a few shops and pubs on route. Kept the kids occupied (17 and 11). Highly recommend.

    While this was not our first treasure hunt, we still get a thrill when we find a clue. It's fun when people are crowding to see some super popular sight and you just walk by to the side to discover at a little sign/ sculpture/ picture that is your clue and gives you more insight as to what you're looking at. It feels like an adventure every time.

    We went as a group of 4 adults and 5 children ages 6-11. The route was fun and engaging and really easy to follow. We got to see many of the main sites in York and we all had an amazing day. The variety of snickleways helped to make it feel like a real adventure. Thank you!!

    Brilliant app, great clues and a super way to get a look around York. I 100% recommend, the clues were simple yet complex enough for my 8 year old to help. There are other free hunts around the city (like the black cats) but they aren’t tied to landmarks in the same way. Would be better if each solved clue unlocked some audio file or facts about where you were too.

    We really enjoyed the Treasure Hunt - York. The Whatsapp format works really well. The previous day we had taken one of the mobile phone audio tours and the Treasure Hunt supplemented this really well as it took us down other side roads and "snerkle ways" not covered. The knowledge that we had gained from the audio tour did not spoil any of the Treasure Hunt. We would recommend that you do both, in the order that we did. The one minor irritation with the Treasure Hunt was that it ended in a different place, on the opposite side of the York centre, to the start point. This meant that there was a little detective work required to find our way back - but then it is a Treasure Hunt. It would be good if the route could be extended, with a few more clues, to take us back to the start point.
