Team Building in the City if Dreaming Spires - What a great day in Oxford. Our annual team get together. Such good fun and great way to see Oxford. Fantastic value for money and game works seamlessly. Although you can get through the clues in a couple of hours, I'd say take longer as lots to see and plenty of photo opportunities. Perfect for a team bonding event! Highly recommended.

A really good time for everyone! - Our group had a great time in Oxford with this scavenger hunt - even our local guests learned a few things! We had a larger group and could share the link. You’ll need full charged phones and Internet access to be successful.

Fun treasure hunt through Oxford city centre - Fun tour of the city of Oxford with a slightly different look at the details.
We had time and took a break at various stations. The clues are just right: not too difficult and not too easy.

Unexpected enjoyment! - We were expecting it might be a bit Oxford arrogant but it wasn’t at all. It was humorous and good fun and we found ourselves in some of the back streets we might not have explored.

A Fantastic Family Day Out – Even Our Oxford Locals Were Surprised! - We did this treasure hunt as a family activity while visiting our son and daughter-in-law, who live in Oxford—and it was brilliant from start to finish! The clues were delightfully cryptic and had us all thinking, laughing, and occasionally debating, which made it even more fun.
What we loved most was how it showed us a different side of Oxford. Even our son and daughter-in-law, who know the city well, discovered places and facts they’d never come across before. From tucked-away alleyways to quirky bits of history, the route was packed with hidden gems.
It was wonderfully flexible, so we could take our time, stop for coffee and lunch, and enjoy the sights at our own pace. It was the perfect way to explore the city together—fun, engaging, and something a bit different from the usual tourist attractions.
Highly recommend for families looking for a unique and memorable day out. A real highlight of our visit—we’ll be talking about those clues (and who solved what!) for a long time to come!

Great tour and good fun! - We only had a few hours available to see some of the sites at Oxford. I was with my 2 kids (boy age 18 and girl age 16) and it was great fun…. you see loads, and particularly of interest to my kids are the Harry Potter sites. What makes it better is that you do the tour at your own pace. So if you come across a place or monument you want to explore for a longer period of time or it is something you just come across by chance you can, and you’re not interrupting the tour or hindering anyone else’s experience. I highly recommend 😀

Fun way to get to know the city - Everything was well arranged and clearly explained, and it worked fine through the app. Highly recommended to experience and get to know the city in a different way.
I would do it again in another city!

Best way to experience a new (or familiar) city! - Honestly the best way to experience the city. We wander round at our own pace and the riddles take us places that we never would've gone without this treasure hunt! The pub/food recommendations are always top notch as well!

The devil is in the detail. - This is an excellent way to explore Oxford. Not only does it take you past major landmarks, but it also takes you off the beaten track, allowing you to discover some hidden gems that a standard day of tourist meandering would miss. The clues are pitch perfect, a bit of a challenge, but not too cryptic. The little details that the game forces you to seek out, along with the backstory the app provides, really enhance your appreciation of a beautiful and historic city. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the entire experience. Great value for money. Recommended.
