Brilliant. Highly recommended! - Absolutely brilliant. Right level of difficulty- not too easy but all clues solvable and a scenic route through Oxford pointing out landmarks. Lunch stop thoughtfully built in. If you don’t want to use the recommended pub then the cafe at the Bodleian is also nearby.
Excellent value for money.

Super was to see the city and keep the family engaged. - Great few hours spent on this Hunt around Oxford. Kept two teanagers and older siblings happy and amused as well as walking the dog. A fabulous lunch half way helped us push through to the end. Would definitely recommend this as a way of seeing the city without wandering aimlessly or joining a long - often too long - tour as we could go at our pace and linger when we wanted.

Interesting bits of info about Oxford - Great walking tour to do at your own pace! We saw things we certainly would have missed had we only walked around without the treasure hunt, thank you :)

A great way to see the sights! - Used this as a guided tour around Oxford with my other half. We got to see way more than expected without having to be a part of a tour group. It was great to have our own time to stop at pubs and tourist attractions - some of which were recommended by the app. I would recommend this to anyone!

Very Fun Treasure Hunt Oxford - Thank you to Ian and Paul for the amazing customer service!
We booked the Treasure Hunt Oxford for as a Team building activity and it was a very great experience overall!
The views were beautiful and for anyone who's not been to Oxford before, this is a innovative way to a discovery journey!
Be prepared for a lot of walking.
As an area of improvement, but again this might just be due to a network issue, the delay between the clues was longer than expected.
Altogether, we loved it!

Great way to see Oxford with a teenager - Great way to see Oxford with a teenager! The treasure hunt kept us all engaged for the better part of a day. The clues were relatively straightforward but still required some peering around, which also helped us engage with Oxford students and other locals. And since we walked through much of the historic district, it was easy to sneak in some additional sights, food, etc. All in all it was a very successful family adventure.

Oxford treasure hunt - We had a great time exploring Oxford. We used it as a guide so we wouldn't miss any highlights. Saved us researching before going.

Good fun, a great introduction to Oxford - Good fun, we really enjoyed it and it was a great way to familiarise ourselves with the centre of Oxford. The treasure hunt takes you around the main sights and forces you to look about you! The clues are straight forward without being too easy, and all the instructions are clear. You also get extra nuggets of random information here and there which is interesting. You play the game just in a browser on your phone, without needing to install any apps or give any permissions. It's flexible, so we started in the morning then did our own thing and returned to it later in the afternoon. Highly recommended!

Great fun, a good alternative way to see Oxford! - A fun way to see Oxford - we really enjoyed this treasure hunt!
My husband used to live in Oxford but hadn’t ever done the touristy stuff, so it was fun to go back and follow these clues around the city.
It’s not too far and takes just under 2 hours, but we stopped for a cheeky drink in the Turf Tavern towards the end :-)
Would definitely recommend!
