Great for tourists and locals alike - It was great! As locals, we thought we'd be able to do it lickety split, but it really makes you think. It takes you to many of the high points of the city, so it's a great way to see things if you're new to the area. Even for Oxford locals like us thought, it was a fun way to learn things about our home city. We did it in just over an hour, but we're fast walkers and didn't do the pubs (which you should if you have the time!) so you could easily spend an afternoon doing this.
I'd love a longer / different version, only because I'd love to do a treasure hunt in Oxford again!

Interesting and successful trip around Oxford. - This was a very well designed and interesting walk around the centre of Oxford, with clues that were challenging enough but not impossible to solve. Even though we had members who had been in Oxford they found new things to discover. The app worked well.

A great way to spend a sunny afternoon in Oxford - We split into three teams and chased each other around Oxford. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The challenges were tricky without being impossible and no local knowledge was required. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fun way to see Oxford - Was a good experience. Had a few problems with the connection to the web page but that was more due to the signal in Oxford than the treasure hunt
It took us on a nice walk round Oxford to parts we otherwise wouldn’t have gone to, although the pub it said was a well kept secret was so busy that we couldn’t get a table, luckily it has lots of other very pleasant establishments around.
Will be doing the treasure hunts in other cities with other family members.

Great fun for all age groups - We had great fun doing Treasure Hunt Oxford. We were in 2 groups, with 4 adults and 3 children aged between 8 and 12. Although we know Oxford really well, we found new places we hadn’t been before. We all had fun finding the locations and solving the clues. A great 2 hours spent together. A big thank you to the founders - 5 stars
