Fun walk round Norwich - Very good experience. We walked all around Norwich. There is no time limit. You can pick the tour up another day if you run out of time. All the information is in the app you need to download. Walked around Norwich and got to see lots of parts you wouldn't otherwise see. You get to read blue plaques for example to give you clues to the points you need to answer a question to move on to the next spot. Really fun. I love geocaching and it felt a little like virtual geocaching.

Lovely way to explore Norwich - Really great day trip to do. Stopped at a few pubs along the way too. Lovely way to explore Norwich. Even had a short stop in the cathedral. Great to do with couples, small groups and the dog!

Excellent value for money - Be prepared for walking. Lovely experience, found out a lot of history around the town centre. Game could be paused enabling a more indepth view of certain aspects, taking photos or time to grab a cuppa. Had a lovely time.

Definitely worth the money if you want a good tour. Not very 'escape'-like or puzzly. - Really good tour. As adults we found it perfect. Our children found the puzzles too basic. It was just, "what animal is above the archway." They were expecting a bit more escape room style. I have to agree that it wasn't really a 'game', but it was interesting and took us to some super places. I know some people have commented could do without the questions/puzzles. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make two different options: one without questions and one MORE puzzly? (wouldn't let me select NA for meeting or pick up - there was none - purely online).

Partial Experience - Unfortunately I missed out on the full experience of using this App. I arrived in Norwich THEN searched for a walking tour on the same day. Your mobile phone needs to have a full battery to use the walking tour - I couldn't risk a flat phone. My only observation is that the gaming aspect would be unnecessary (for me).

Just average - Okay, but not that great. Would have preferred more sites and history, and less game. Not really interested in points and competition.

Useless - I was completely unable to access this tour despite having downloaded the app. I am not proficient at using a mobile but my husband is and tried on my behalf with no success.
