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's hard to find experiences that are fun for both family and friends—but this one nailed it. We were exploring, laughing, and making memories together. Easily one of the best outdoor activities as a group, no matter your age.

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.
