Good fun, would recommend - Had a great time using the treasure hunt to explore a bit of Bristol and learn a bit of its history. Clearly guided with maps and directions, read the clues and look for the answers, thanks Captain Bess, but couldn't have done it without me shipmates

Team-Building Fun! - Team-Building Fun! If you have ever had to organise a team build, then you will feel my pain! However, our recent experience with a hunt for around 20 colleagues was an absolute hit from start to finish! From booking the hunt, everything was seamless. The level of pre-information provided was spot on, giving us a clear idea of what to expect and how to make the most of the day. The hunt itself was nothing short of excellent. Not only did it provide us with an opportunity to work together as a team, but it also allowed us to inject our own creativity and "spin" into the day, making the experience enjoyable for everyone involved. The clues and flexibility of the day kept everyone engaged and enabled us to have a lot of fun throughout. Despite the weather not being on our side, the flexibility of the hunt allowed us to adapt and keep the momentum going. "Rain checks" became a welcome opportunity to regroup, strategize (so they told me), and stay dry while still enjoying the day. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough! The hunt itself was brilliantly designed, striking the perfect balance between structure and freedom for our teams to add their own creativity. The clues were cleverly crafted, keeping us engaged and entertained throughout the day, and I have to say great value for money! I will definitely be sharing this gem with my colleagues and friends. It's a fantastic way to bond as a team, build camaraderie and develop key skills, all whilst building lasting memories together. To the organisers, thank you for providing us with such an excellent experience. Rain or shine, we can't wait to do it all over again!

Good fun for a group activity - We normally do a guided tour but because one member of our group is on crutches, and we knew he wouldn’t be able to keep up with a guided tour, we decided to try this instead because we knew we could build in as many stops as he needed. This was great fun, a really enjoyable way to walk around the city and everyone in the group had fun - I would recommend this to any group wanting to do something a bit different from the usual guided tours. I would definitely recommend that you have a charger for your phone (as recommended in the joining instructions) I forgot to take mine and unfortunately my phone ran out of battery before we’d finished.

A fun day out. - We decided to take part in this treasure hunt in Bristol for a birthday get together with the family. Age ranged from 11 up to 73 and it was suitable for all of us, even the oldest technophobe found the What’s App easy to use with no complicated Apps or maps to download. It was a group effort although it did become a bit competitive at times with who could solve the clues first! The booking process was easy and friendly and we would definitely consider doing another one in the future.
