Great fun! - We really enjoyed this fun and interactive treasure hunt around Cambridge. It was great for two couples. We found out information we were unaware of and places we had not seen or known about before. The hints were useful on a couple of occasions.
Really easy to use on your phone and ideal that everyone could log in. Great to get a score at the end and answers with information to each clue.
We often bumped into others at various points working out clues too which was nice to interact with them.
Highly recommend.

Cambridge hunt - Had loads of fun with the treasure hunt in Cambridge! Really impressed with the professional finish to the chat system. Nice that everyone could join and answer the clues. Length of time and distance was just right.

Cambridge Treasure Hunt - Highly Recommended - I honestly can't praise our experience highly enough. The process was really straight forward, the clues were a good mix of difficulty, and as you go through the hunt you learn a lot about the location you are in. To top it off, it was the hottest day of the year, and we walked about 5km, with ice cream and beer along the way. Oh, and my team won :-)
So to summarise, great event, amazing value for money, myself and my colleagues highly recommend.

Fun exploration - We had a lot of fun with this treasure hunt. Some of the clues required a bit of knowledge rather than just looking around the city, but it was still a great way to see the city. It encourages you to look up and notice things you might ordinarily just walk past. The little snippets of history included as well was a great addition.

Highly enjoyable treasure hunt - our third city - My wife and I have now done the treasure hunts in Oxford, Bath and Cambridge, with the latter two being with our parents. The fact that we have now done multiple cities should indicate how much we have enjoyed them!
The Treasure Hunts are fun, easy to use via the WhatsApp style page, and provide a great insight into the city. You will get to see all the main sights, as well as some 'off the beaten track' gems. For instance, in Cambridge, we would have completely walked past the 'wonder emporium' had it not been a clue. The trails also contain some great recommendations on places for eating/drinking and the map and captain's log sent by email at the end of the hunt is also a nice.
We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Cambridge and we will be sure to try other cities in the future.

D - I do really enjoy the view during the trip, its really attractive and catching my eyes so well, though there are something I would like to complain on :
- the typing language is bit too simplified which make us somehow uncomfortable to read.
-the second half session of the question mostly related to the determining meaning of the vocabulary, which would be more confusing for us as foreigners.
Overall I do really enjoy the game, hope to have more interesting question during the next time I join the game :)

Disappointed - We organised to do this today for Father’s Day. We found the first clues hard and didn’t make it past clue 4 (still don’t understand one after having received the answer!!)
Think it should be made clearer that this is not for children - even pre-teens - especially with no knowledge of Cambridge. An easier/more child friendly version would be great!

Not a family activity!! - First clues very difficult despite hints. Our family & tweens started with lots of enthusiasm but didn’t make it past clue 3.
