Great day out with the kids - We thought we knew everything about Birmingham but we actually learnt loads! A great half term day out with the kids, would highly recommend. Stopped for a drink at 1000 trades which is a real hidden gem.

10/10 experience! - Fabulous day out! A great way to see interesting parts of the city, that you wouldn’t have thought of yourself. There were lots of places to stop for food and drinks for everybody’s taste 👍🏻 Very impressed when we were unable to gain access to one of the clues. After a phone call on the day (which was quickly answered I might add) a small refund for inconvenience appeared in my bank account 😊 We will definitely do this again in another city!

Amazing fun, highly recommend - I booked this recently for a team building day and it was fabulous. The setup is simple with clues and hints straight to your phone and a smattering of historical photos and interesting facts. The game is incredibly good value and suitable for groups of all ages and ability. The leaders board is a great tough and certainly brought out some competitive spirits. It took us about 2 and half hours with a short coffee break half way.

Great team away day activity! - Planned the treasure hunt for a team away day and we all had a great time! Ian was really helpful in the lead up to the day and all instructions were clear and sent well in advance. The game itself was enjoyable and a great opportunity to explore the city (which some members of our team had never visited). We also all enjoyed the option to have a drinks break part way through!

A great bit of fun - A fun team get together experience for team building, a walk around the city and general knowledge around the city of Brum! The weather was amazing which always helps…you get clues, race across the city and have recommended stops on the way. A few cryptic clues…some fairly easy to those that get you really thinking. It doesn’t take too long either so can do in a couple of hours if you don’t stop.

A fun afternoon - Great way to discover new things about Birmingham - even if you think you know the city - and it was fun trying to crack the clues and race the other teams!

Good times - Great way to spend some time learning about one of our major cities. I'm a local but I still learnt something:-) Give it a go.

Treasure Hunt Birmingham - A brilliant way to get to know a new city. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt in Birmingham. The questions were just right and the facts were interesting and with the right amount of information. We went at a leisurely pace and it took us just over two hours. The process of purchasing the treasure hunt and the information beforehand was very good and well presented. We are definately going to purchase treasure hunts for other cities. I would highly recommend the Fun, Flexible Treasure Hunt around Birmingham with cryptic clues and hidden gems.

Enjoyable Introduction to Birmingham - The tour is fun, engaging, informative and enjoyable. My attention was drawn to elements of the city I'd not appreciated before. It was a great way the spend the day with someone from a different generation. However, we weren't advised that there were several large groups doing the tour at the same time as us until after we'd booked and this did detract slightly from our enjoyment. My young companion was very distracted by what other people were looking at during our search for clues and at times, there was a small crowd around a landmark. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend as a fun half day out and a great introduction to the history of Birmingham.
