Solve puzzles across Manchester on a self-guided 2.2-mile city quest, with history, street art, flexible timing, and access for up to five.
“Trop compliqué surtout quand on ne maîtrise pas totalement l’anglais et un suivi de route pour éviter que l’on se perd. On a d’ailleurs abandonné”
Explore Newcastle from Castle Keep to the Tyne with a self-guided puzzle quest, local stories, flexible timing, and family-friendly challenges.
“In verhouding heel duur wat je krijgt. Het was niet makkelijk te vinden en omslachtig verder wat je op papier allemaal Moet doen. Hele kruiswoordpuzzel overtekenen bijvoorbeeld. Maar ook klopten sommige vragen de antwoorden niet. Wij zijn halverwege gestopt. Je stopt echt veel te vaak en te lang om opdrachten te doen, waardoor je helemaal niet zo veel ziet en steeds heen en weer gaat over stukken die je al gezien hebt.”
Solve puzzles across Birmingham on a flexible app-led city quest from Bullring to Cathedral, with clues, canals, history, and family fun.
“certains indices laissent porter à confusion sur ce qu'il faut trouver”
Explore Cambridge with a self-guided puzzle quest through college streets, secret history, city views, and flexible family-friendly fun.
“Our family had a great time exploring Cambridge over half term. Some of the puzzles were a bit difficult for the younger kids, but it kept the older kids interested and they actually liked a 'tour' around a city! Will look for more of these in the future.”
Explore Chester’s Roman streets, city walls, park, and River Dee through a self-guided puzzle quest for up to five people.
“Clearly well researched activity but way too long and too detailed. Some questions were incredibly hard to even understand how to solve, plus if you do digital then do it all the way. Puzzles and crosswords that requires pen and paper while walking are ridiculous. We ended up skipping a lot of questions.”
Solve puzzles across Nottingham on a self-guided city quest covering Robin Hood, lace history, castle views, and secret lanes.
“There were a couple of activities where the photos for activities weren’t attached”
Explore Brighton Pier to the Royal Pavilion with a self-guided puzzle tour, local stories, flexible timing, and a private group format.
“This had a lot of potential. That said, unfortunately some of the activities were very outdated - especially the first couple, which dealt with the Albion Hotel, a place that quite famously burned down in 2023. This should have been addressed, but it wasn't. That made those riddles unsolvable and it also made the start of the tour a little confusing. There's also the fact that you seem to go in circles sometimes - so the route overall could do with some refinement. It still has the potential to be a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but that outdated bit at the start can be a bit frustrating…”
Explore Oxford with a self-guided puzzle quest through college streets, alleyways, and Oxford Castle, at your own pace for up to five people.
Explore Inverness at your own pace with app puzzles, Nessie lore, street art, Highland challenges, and a flexible private city quest.
