A really fun way to explore Oxford. - This was a really fun way to spend a day with friends and family! Although the hunt is said to take 1.5 - 2.5 hours it isn't timed and we stretched it out to 4 by stopping in various pubs and restaurants along the way. The route took in loads of interesting places and the puzzles were tricky but not too taxing, which meant our kids of 7, 11 and 15 all solved some along the way which was great. I'd definitely recommend treasure hunt Oxford.

Excellent afternoon, highly recommend. - Fun afternoon with our teenagers, racing around Oxford on their first visit, trying to solve the riddles whilst learning about the history of the place.

A worthwhile, fun and informative experience. Thoroughly recommend playing the Oxford Treasure hunt - An excellent way to fill 2-3 hours. I did the treasure hunt with my 12 year old granddaughter. A good way to discover the city of Oxford and have fun at the same time. I had trouble at one point with navigating but a phone call to the office very quickly had me up and running again. They were very helpful and patient with somebody who is not technically minded!

Team building triumph! - We enjoyed this as part of a team building day and it did not disappoint. A really good, fun and interesting few hours coupled with a lovely lunch in the hidden pub. 10/10 Thank you

Great for tourists and locals alike - It was great! As locals, we thought we'd be able to do it lickety split, but it really makes you think. It takes you to many of the high points of the city, so it's a great way to see things if you're new to the area. Even for Oxford locals like us thought, it was a fun way to learn things about our home city. We did it in just over an hour, but we're fast walkers and didn't do the pubs (which you should if you have the time!) so you could easily spend an afternoon doing this.
I'd love a longer / different version, only because I'd love to do a treasure hunt in Oxford again!

Interesting and successful trip around Oxford. - This was a very well designed and interesting walk around the centre of Oxford, with clues that were challenging enough but not impossible to solve. Even though we had members who had been in Oxford they found new things to discover. The app worked well.
