A cryptic nightmare of a game with difficult to follow directions, not for the majority of folk I suspect. - Be aware that you can't print off these exploration games and can only download them once you are very near (literally metres away) from the start point so you need a fully charged smart phone and a decent internet connection, which we only became aware of the day before we began the game. It was quick and easy to download then given the start point and followed the first clear directions and quickly solved our first clue, the second clue had recently been removed from it's location so we had to use the "give us the answer" button to move on (there are 15 clues in all to solve) The next 3 or 4 directions and clues weren't too complicated but from here on in things got very frustrating. the directions became more and more cryptic and unclear so it was becoming really difficult to solve the clues given your not even in the right place. We had to resort to revealing the next couple of answers and eventually (by luck not design) got back on track with directions but the clues became increasingly difficult to understand and very cryptic, for us just about impossible. By now we're getting bit pissed off having spent the best part of 3 hours criss-crossing Leicester city centre and walking around 3 miles with still 5 clues to go, please let the final ones be simpler we prayed, nope not a chance. One of the clues was a mathematical puzzle (which I'm good at solving) but after 15 minutes trying all permutations from the clues we asked for the answer and were perplexed to find (what to me was) an impossible solution from the clues given, at which point we gave up and headed for the nearest pub to drown our sorrows and vent our frustration then to cap it all my phone battery was almost flat. Surely the whole point of this type of treasure hunt/puzzle game (of which we have successfully done many in the past, but not this companies) is to be enjoyable to complete whilst discovering aspects of the area being explored. On this occasion this most certainly wasn't the case, so before you sign up for any of their games be aware that you may well end up very, very disappointed and really, really frustrated, we will NOT be using them again, ever!
