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.

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.
