Great way to see York

Published on May, 2025

A great way to see York. You get to see all of the touristy areas but also lots of hidden gems. The quiz was really good, quite challenging in places but always fun, and you can take it at your own pace.

Fun day with the family!

Published on May, 2025

Really fun time with 2 pensioners and 2 kids and 3 adults. Very exciting finding the clues, the instructions were easy to follow and we only needed 1 hint. The group chat feature was helpful and this is a great way to see the city. We'll come and do the other treasure hunt soon :)

Good fun

A fun way to see parts of the city you wouldn't stubble across. You can play at your own rate and th clues aren't too challenging.

Fabulous, informative and entertaining!

Published on Apr, 2025

A great afternoon out. We loved the clues which led us round parts of York we had never seen before. The snippets of information were timely and very engaging. Despite the rain, we still had an amazing time and everyone was as keen to look for another treasure hunt in another city. Fab work! Thank you.

So much fun!

The treasure hunt was great fun. It was really good to see some areas of York we wouldn’t have probably visited without. The clues were the perfect level of challenge. Thanks so much :)
