Lots of fun! - It was a lot of fun and really helped us to see more of the city that we wouldn’t have otherwise! It was a great way to get out and walk around more, as well as helping us to learn more about the city.

Golden Girls Triumph on Murder Mystery - This experience is well worth it. It is an interactive murder mystery hunt using your phone and took us through York to places that we would never have seen. The storyline is excellent and the clues make you think and look for the answer. Our group who are in their later years managed with all the walking and felt a great sense of achievement when it was completed. I would recommend this for all whether you are a pensioner, teenager or a family and are looking for something different to do whilst visiting.

Great experience - Brilliant - we didn't know York very well so was great to wander around and learn about the city. We went places we wouldn't have ever found before. We really recommend this game and found it fun and easy to understand.

The murder mystery... - The murder mystery treasure hunt was really fun and we had a great time following the clues and story. The directions weren’t always the most clear and that led to us briefly getting lost but we did manage to get back on track.

The clues can be quiet... - The clues can be quiet hard and need to think about answers otherwise you can quickly become lost in York

Good fun - Really fun experience, clues were set at a good level and sea parts of York we probably would have not seem. Only issue we had was second to last clue, was quite vague and took you to a part of town that you would rather not go to

Great day - We really enjoyed ourselves but we think your final clue was wrong and told us to turn left instead of right..

Some surprises - We had a great time but a couple of clues may need adjusting slightly..the unnecessary red iron ( an early clue) has been painted black. Plus the alley opposite the church was very misleading as there is an adjacent alley named ate o'clock which leads to a restaurant only and the clue became very confusing afterwards. However we enjoyed the experience and saw new things 😊

Good but not great. - We have done a number of these kind of walks before but mostly in London. We really enjoy escape rooms, immersive games etc. We enjoyed this but felt it lacked some challenge. The clues involved some thought but once you’d reached each destination there was no challenge, the answer was clear. As a result the end felt a little anti-climactic as we didn’t feel we’d achieved much - other than lots of steps! It was good value and got us around the city a bit, so from that point of view it was good. Just missing a real challenge/adventure to give the sense of achievement we wanted.
