Great treasure hunt - Absolutely great time doing this. Only downside was the clue after Symphony Hall which says "Don't cross the canal" was misleading so you need to go onto the bridge.

Great for team building - This was a great team building exercise, we all enjoyed the experience and was a good way to learn about the city. We would definitely recommend and also try this in another city.

Sort of like a treasure hunt - Great way to spend some time in Birmingham and see some things that weren’t really on the radar. Plenty of places to take a break on the way.

Fun frolicking fabventure - We had the best day walking around the city learning stuff about Birmingham that we never knew even though it's our home city. Great that the sun was shining for us and that we could go at our own pace dipping in and out of the hunt whilst seeing the sights. Fun and fab! Recommended 💯

Discovering hidden gems on an adventure around Birmingham - The Treasure hunt was an excellent way to explore Birmingham. The route was interesting and the clues really made you look up, down and all around you! The text messages explaining the route were easy to follow and the extra historical information provided was a bonus. Definitely recommended as a great way to explore the city and discover some hidden gems.

Fun way to explore the city - A really enjoyable and informative way of getting to see parts of the city I am pretty sure we wouldn't have explored or even noticed. The challenges were not too difficult and made us look and notice what was around us. The option for a hint was great in case we got stuck, but we found keeping going and re-reading through the clues helped. Loved the little bits of history and additional information as we went round. All in all a great few hours well spent. I'd love to do one again with a group of friends and introduce a more competitive element. But it worked great just with the two of us.

Great Fun!! - We had a great time, the treasure hunt really helped us explore the city, find hidden gems and learn more about Bham. The way it was done was great. Would definitely recommend this to all ages, groups of family or friends. Lots of great places to stop for food/coffee or to make it a pub crawl!!!

Mystery tour around Brum - Great way to explore the city. The walk along the canal was lovely and stopped off at a couple of great pubs during the tour

A good way to explore a city, test our brain power, have a laugh and visit a few pubs on the way! - We are a group of ladies who met at Uni and usually meet up once a year. This treasure hunt was a good way to explore Birmingham, test our brain power, have a laugh and visit a few pubs on the way. We got a bit side tracked in one of the later pubs but were able to finish the hunt the next morning so having that flexibility was good. We’d definitely do this again in another city!
