Fun filled afternoon with my mateys - Really enjoyed the format of text messsge style with dialogue, clues and maps to guide us along our route around Sheffield city centre and Kelham Island. I noticed things new things in my city and my visitors thoroughly enjoyed their unusual sightseeing trip. I obviously read all the messages out to them in my best pirate accent. Would definitely do in other cities.

Fun outdoor activity - Good fun hunt which took us to some interesting places around Sheffield, having lived here for 10 years we still found some new spots to explore. Good value for money too if you're in a group.

Amazing ⭐️! - My best friend Ali and I absolutely loved doing this treasure hunt! We wanted to do something original and inspiring for the morning and this did not disappoint! We learnt interesting facts, discovered beautiful places/ things and tbh we fell in love with Sheffield again (We’ve both been here since uni and have been feeling disheartened about the state of the city centre in particular). Thank you so much for bringing us joy and enhancing our day! (I am going to do it again with my niece and nephew when they visit..)

Hidden gems of Sheffield - I found myself in Sheffield with nothing to do (long story sort - gig cancelled, train and hotel non-refundable). I stumbled across Treasure Hunt Sheffield, I chose this one because it said it would take about 3 hours, it was accessible / wheelchair friendly and I could do it in my own time. I'm not a wheelchair user but I have joint problems which make walking a challenge. This was the perfect 'hunt' and ticked all my boxes. It revealed many hidden gems around the centre of Sheffield. If there was a part of the trail that was a bit difficult you were given a simpler route. I struggled with the first clue while I got into their mindset but then I was off. The clues were challenging but not impossible and it really tested your powers of observation. Along the route you are told the history of the location and you get suggestions of places to stop for a break. I didn't finish it all on the same day as rain stopped play but I got a friendly email asking if everything was OK, and a link to restart the hunt when I was ready. I managed to finish the following day. I met up with family and couldn't wait to show them what I had seen around the city they live in. They've lived there for many years and didn't know half of what I had come across. I highly recommend it. I've added some photos but tried not to give anything away!

Absolutely Amazing Experience - Hello! American tourist here… this treasure hunt was an absolute gem. These two gents have created a masterpiece of a riddle to learn about the city of Sheffield and enjoy a nice walk. I completed the hunt with my mum and it has been an amazing experience. I highly recommend doing this. I never thought I’d be interested in the history of a city but when you realize how many pieces of history are laying around you while you walk through a city like Sheffield it really opens your eyes and your world. It’s quite amazing and I highly recommend doing this.

A fun way to explore Sheffield. - A brilliant way to explore Sheffield. There are lots of walks that can be downloaded but this provides the extra fun of having to solve clues before you get told the next landmark to visit as well as giving you plenty of information on each one. We were so enthusiastic about our “adventure” when telling the owner of the hotel we are staying in that he is going to recommend it too future guests.
