A Great Day Out! - A great way to see the sights in Manchester. You can take your time and enjoy many free activities whilst solving clues along the way. We didn't get to the end because there was so much to see. However, we will definitely continue on our next visit to Manchester.

Great fun. Made extra special by the fantastic sunny day we chose - Brilliant fun day out. Clues clever but not too taxing. Got a good stroll around the City.
Maybe a feature to pause the clock? It was thirsty work and the bars were very tempting!

Unique way to explore - I had never tried anything like this before so was a bit sceptical. However I can confidently say it was such a unique to be get around the city and see sights I wouldn't have otherwise. It has a really interesting story which made it even more enjoyable. I would do this in other cities I visit.

We had a great time😊 - It was a very fun experience. You can go at your own pace. A great way to see the city and go places you wouldn't usually go.

Needs some updating , but overall an enjoyable activity - Overall this was a great activity for our half day in Manchester. It took us to the highlights and some places we would have missed on our own. The directions were often confused however ( as others have stated, “turn left” should have been “turn right” on many occasions ) The map was the better option as we spent much of our time retracing our steps. Typing in the solution was also a problem at several sites. We gave up on one even though our answer was correct , the app wouldn’t accept it. Capital letters, spaces, etc needed to be exact.

The story itself of the... - The story itself of the woman in the mental institution isn’t the most interesting, but this game is a good way to walk around Manchester and visit areas you may not otherwise see. Plus, it’s always fun to try and solve some problems.

I wouldn’t do it again. - We gave up after 2 activities. The questions weren’t hard, but following the directions of where to go was annoying. We ended up circling around the block and just didn’t feel like doing it anymore.

Unplayable - We only lost time on our only day playing this in Manchester. The challenges were based on something that was not there anymore. And so were the clues that told you how to get to another place. We were supposed to go to the left at some Black Milk. Have no idea what that is, google maps did not either. For some time we were helping ourselves with google maps, when the clues were bad, until we didn't know where we're going. We had to stop playing. We were not even in the middle. The one clue that was there was a small unimportant thing on one of the houses, which we cloud not find becose we didn't know where exactly we were supposed to stand...
Will ask for a refund.

Disappointing Game - I was disappointed with the whole episode. It was more like the old "I Spy" games we played as kids where our parents would give us clues to find certain objects in a place we were going to visit.
The story did not fit in with objects we found. Were they supposed to I wonder?
I looked forward to this and to the possible one in Liverpool, our next place to visit, but I will just use Google for some inspiration on a walk around the city.
