Fun way to explore York!

Published on Feb, 2025

A brilliant way to explore York, the puzzles were fun and the app was really easy to use. There was the right level of info and history when playing.

Excellent way to spend a day!

Published on Jan, 2025

Very fun, good mix of easier and more difficult clues, great that it could be taken at our own pace and we could take breaks. We’ve been to York a lot and still discovered new things while doing this!

A great adventure into the unknown

Published on Jan, 2025

A great adventure to places you probably wouldn’t notice. We needed the hints to get us through, on a cold January day. The recommended pub stops were much appreciated to warm up.

Fabulous interactive day out

Published on Dec, 2024

A great way of exploring the city & learning about its history along the way Taking into alleys & courtyards that we would have never found Fabulous day out

Carefully thought out treasure hunt and a brilliant way to explore the city.

Published on Dec, 2024

A brilliantly designed treasure hunt that allows you to explore York and all its beautiful sights, seeing things you wouldn’t necessarily see or notice otherwise. We were with children (8 and 11) who loved trying to solve the clues and although they weren’t easy, it was still a great family activity and everybody helped. We took our time, stopping for lunch and drinks and spending a bit more time exploring certain areas so it was a full day’s activity. Would highly recommend on a dry day. Wouldn’t have been the same in the rain!
