        The Tampere Scavenger Hunt is perfect for outdoor lovers. We solved riddles at Vapriikki Museum Centre, then enjoyed murals near Market Hall. The hunt was a great thing to do in town.

        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.
