Fun time had by all - We had a fantastic time with plenty of laughs hunting for the Cheshire Cat and celebrating a 60th birthday in the process. We loved the challenge, receiving clues by WhatsApp and the attempts to derail the hunt. Despite having lived in or near London for 40 years, we discovered hidden gems along the way.
This is the 3rd Hidden City game we've done , having already completed 007 Shadow of Spectre and Moriarty's Game; they've all been very different but have introduced us to new areas and places to eat and drink and had us interacting with people along the way. We can't wait to to do The Enchanted Mirror game.

Fun activity - Great activity for a group, fun way to see the city, the clues make you think enough for it to be challenging but not too hard it’s impossible and some hidden gems of places to call at for pit stops on the way. We were with a mixed group with 3 adults and 3 kids aged 4-11. Trickier for the 4 year old but he was swept up in the moment and we kept it fairly chilled with the competitive element, highly recommend as something different but still incorporating a lot of key sights - shout out to all the staff at all the pit stops as well who were friendly and welcoming and never once looked or sounded fed up at having random groups coming in!

Walking Puzzle Tour - Very fun, a great walk around the city, and the perfect challenge for riddle/puzzle loving couples! We did the Cats Challenge being Alice and Wonderland themed and it was so fun! We can’t wait to return to London to try the other versions

Hidden City Hunt for the Cheshire Cat - We did this game as a family with children aged 9 to 14 and everyone really enjoyed it. It is fast paced and interactive and a great way to discover new parts of the city. There is quite a bit of walking but our normally reticent to walk children didn't complain once! Highly recommended

A great way to explore parts of London that you would not normally see. - I’ve been visiting London for weekend getaways and day trips for years, but for our 10th wedding anniversary, we decided to do something a little more whimsical—chasing the Cheshire Cat. From the very beginning, we were handed a curious pocket watch that became our companion throughout the adventure, guiding us across the city.
As we solved each riddle, new clues were sent to our team via text, with a few surprise encounters sprinkled in to keep us on our toes. It took us about three and a half hours to complete, and it was such a refreshing change from our usual museum circuit.
We’ll definitely be signing up for another HiddenCities experience—this one was a brilliant twist on exploring London.

WHAT a fun experience! - We enjoyed a fantastic day that began on The Strand, in a pub (always a good sign!) following clues and routes around famous parts of London, but from a completely different perspective. The thought and consideration that goes into those who pull the experience together is incredible, its very clever, truly thinking outside the box (but once you are in the mindset, it quickly comes together) and although the phone batteries take a bit of a hammering, you can be sure that WhatsApp help is at hand if you do get stuck along the way and cannot figure out the answer. We only had to do that a couple of times, and mid way through, in another pub which formed a key part of the game, we found ourselves with other teams - families, gal pals, older couples etc. and although no clues/insights were shared, everyone agreed they were having fun and looking forward to the rest of the game. A great day was had, and we will for sure be doing another!

A great experience, even for a native of the city - This was our second experience with Hidden City, which we did because we had enjoyed the first (the Sherlock Holmes one) so much.
This was just as enjoyable as the first time. We really liked it for a couple of reasons. The first is the enjoyment of solving the problems, which are set at just the right level to be tricky whilst not impossible.
The second is the route. I've lived in London for almost my entire life, and yet the route takes me to places I had never been before, showing me cool and fun places. I imagine that if I was a visitor to the city this aspect of the experience would be even more enjoyable.
Finally, we were very happy with the choice of refreshment stops, all of which were quirky and somewhat off the beaten track.
Thoroughly recommended.
