What players are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Great fun treasure hunt in York and good to get and about seeing city sights on foot. Challenges were a good level and all four in our team contributed to them. Nice to get the win as well!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The event was really great, from planning it (with very helpful hosts) to the actual event, it was inclusive for everyone and even in the rainy British Summer everyone had a great time! Would definitely recommend for a work event.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Really good game and easy to direct. It’s a great way to get out and about and look at things in a city that you normally wouldn’t pay attention to.
