Epic walk..

Published on May, 2024

Amazing experience. Would 10 out of 10 recomend. There were s bit confusing of left vs right but really played into the game..

A Great Day Out!

Published on Feb, 2024

A great way to see the sights in Manchester. You can take your time and enjoy many free activities whilst solving clues along the way. We didn't get to the end because there was so much to see. However, we will definitely continue on our next visit to Manchester.

Great fun. Made extra special by the fantastic sunny day we chose

Published on Sep, 2023

Brilliant fun day out. Clues clever but not too taxing. Got a good stroll around the City. Maybe a feature to pause the clock? It was thirsty work and the bars were very tempting!

Unique way to explore

Published on Apr, 2023

I had never tried anything like this before so was a bit sceptical. However I can confidently say it was such a unique to be get around the city and see sights I wouldn't have otherwise. It has a really interesting story which made it even more enjoyable. I would do this in other cities I visit.

A fun way to see Manchester

Published on Apr, 2023

This game definitely takes you to some of Manchester's best sites, and even some you may not have known about. It has a good story that keeps you interested.
