So much fun and not pricey at all. Did it with a group including kids. They had fun too. We will for sure do more hunts in the future.

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.
