Explore Manchester on a self-guided puzzle quest through medieval streets, civic landmarks, street art, and Northern Quarter lanes.
“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”
Solve clues across Newcastle from Castle Keep to the Tyne, with a flexible app-led quest for up to five people at one price.
“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.”
Explore Birmingham on a self-guided puzzle trail from the Bullring to the Cathedral, with canals, city sights, fun facts, and flexible timing.
“Superleuke tour door de stad. Leuke opdrachten en leuke route door de stad. Aanrader!”
Solve puzzles across Cambridge's historic streets on a flexible, self-guided 2-mile city quest for up to five people.
“Our family had a great time completing the Cambridge Quest this half term. It really engaged our two teenagers (who are normally so bored on these types of tours!) and we saw so many sites that we wouldn't have otherwise. Learned a lot too. Puzzles were challenging but fun and overall had a great day. Would definitely recommend it!”
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.”
Explore Nottingham on a self-guided puzzle quest through Old Market Square, lace districts, Robin Hood territory, and Nottingham Castle.
“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 quest, flexible timing, private play, and clues for up to five people.
“Het was best uitdagend, leuk dat het niet te makkelijk was. helaas werd er flink aan de weg gewerkt en waren sommige opdrachten moeilijker bereikbaar”
Solve clues across Bristol, race another team, and finish at a pub with a food and drink discount.
“The hunt itself was good fun but was really disappointed to be told that the prize at the pub was not going to be honoured by the new owners. There should have been an alternative prize offered by your company. The pub was also shut on the Tuesday that we played. A new arrangement needs to be made with another pub and opening times/days advertised on Sign-up. Sign for No. 2 of the code breaker wasn't there so needs changing ('scuse the pun)”
Explore Oxford with a self-guided puzzle quest through college streets, alleyways, and castle history at your own pace.

Solve London clues, visit royal and Shakespeare sites, and enjoy a British treat, pub lunch, and dessert on this three-hour food quest.
“Hi I did the British food treasure hunt and I tell you it was one of the most interesting activity I have ever done in london. I not only enjoyed all the clues as they are very clever and interesting, but the most interesting bit are the various places one gets to see and learn about in England .You get to know the place, the people, the culture of England . You also get the most delicious foods belonging to England in the english way . I love to know about the native food and how they cook it, how to serve it and this game has it all. I…”
