I wanted something fun that both my grandkids and I could enjoy—and this totally delivered. We split into teams and turned it into a full-on competition! It was one of the most unique outdoor activities together, and it didn't require much planning.

Not usually one to write reviews, but this experience deserves it. We were looking for fun outdoor activities that weren't the usual bar or dinner—and this got everyone moving, laughing, and discovering cool spots in the city we'd never noticed before.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
