    Fabulous fun

    Breege_C, Aug 2025
    Loved this. The clues were challenging but manageable. We had a good wander around. Chester and saw things were probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. You have the flexibility to take your time & we stopped several times and ended up finishing on a second day. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely look to do another one in a different city.

    Really great hunt, you get to see all of the places and things that you would usually completely miss. Clues were excellent, hints were really useful and information about the area was brilliant. The one and only issue that we had was internet coverage.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thanks for the lovely feedback – and fair point about the coverage. We’re looking for ways to make it smoother, but great to hear you still had a brilliant time. Ian 🦜

    Great way to explore the city- challenging at times but the hints helped😊 Loved the way it made you look more carefully at the surroundings and took you up alleyways which we would never have found otherwise. Explored the city in some depth. It was fun and we all really enjoyed it. Thank you

    It was ok

    The technology worked pretty well throughout the hunt, although right at the end it stopped working for all of us - frustrating. The route was well chosen and interesting but we thought some of the clues were too hard, children got frustrated

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Sorry to hear the children found some of the clues frustrating, and that you ran into connectivity issues towards the end. We always offer a 'fun or your money back' guarantee, so we’ve refunded you. Ian 🦜 (co-founder)

    Great fun. Completed at...

    Great fun. Completed at our own pace with lunch stop and ice cream break. Clues were challenging whilst not impossible.

    Response from Host, Aug 2022

    Ahoy Vanessa, thanks for taking the time to give us such a postive review. You had a great day for ice cream! Hope to see you on one of our hunts in the future. Ian

    Fun game

    The game was a lot of fun, however some of the clues were hard and difficult to find. For example one of the clues was hidden because of the Christmas market and it was impossible to find. Overall we enjoyed the game and will 100% recommend it
