Fun way of finding out more about Birmingham history - We had this Treasure Hunt gifted as a Virgin Experience. It took us around 1.75 hours to complete all the tasks, which brightened up a dull and windy Birmingham morning. We learnt about some of the history of Birmingham and enjoyed a leisurely stroll along canal paths, in the Jewellery Quarter and around the city centre. We found the puzzles/ clues were at about the ‘right level’ - not too easy or too challenging. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and well recommended for all.

Does what it says on the tin - Great day out and good value. Learned things about Birmingham I never knew. Liked the freedom of doing it at your own pace with lovely pit stops on the way

Great fun and very interesting - Brilliant! Some very interesting sights and information given out along the way, and a fab way to explore parts of Birmingham that I wouldn't normally have been to. Not a difficult game, but still fun for us 2 adults (40+) to do. Will definitely be trying the other ones!

Very good! - Absolutely does what it says on the tin! Well thought out, clues intriguing enough but not too tough. Extra information from 'Bess' took the place off a live tour guide. Would recommend, and do elsewhere.

Well worth it!! - Really fun afternoon and an amazing way to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. The game is put together really well and full of lots of interesting information. Will definitely be doing another one in a different city!

Sites of Brum with fun and fitness. - What a fantastic way to explore Birmingham with friends. Being from Birmigham, I was still introduced to new sites and knowledge. The clues are just challenging enough to make you think a bit. Wear comfy shoes as it's a looooong walk, but, you can take a break as often as you want. Thanks Captain Bess!

Nice for the first day in the city - These kind of games are great to discover the key spots of cities. Perfect for the first day. This particular app, however, uses a complicated English, which is probably not easy to understand for non-native English speakers. There was a bit too much time spent on the jewellery quarter for my taste and some other nice places were missed
