Lots of family fun for bigger kids - Had a great time exploring Oxford and working out the clues. This is our second treasure hunt and we’ll definitely do another!

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

Excellent way of seeing the City - Excellent way of seeing the city and learning some history. Be sure to make time to go up the castle for the views, sometimes there is a wait. Perfect afternoon!

Team Building Event - We had 5 teams of between 5 and 6 and each team spent a couple of hours wondering through some of the less (and more) well trodden parts of the City. We all had a fabulous time and the lighthearted competition was just perfect for our team. I know and love Oxford well and was still surprised by some of the new things I learnt about the City. The team members who have never been to Oxford found it very informative and we all had tonnes of fun doing it.

Great fun - Great fun. Clues were easy enough to engage my 8 and 10 year old but tricky enough to entertain me as well. I expected them to get tired / bored before the end but they loved every minute. It’s also nicely set up so that you can break whenever you like for lunch or a coffee stop.

Really good fun. - We really enjoyed the treasure hunt. We are very familiar with Oxford so this was a chance to spot some things about our local city that we hadn’t previously noticed.

2 adults & 5 kids, and it was great! - My wife and I did the "Treasure Hunt Oxford" with our 2 kids and 3 of our friends kids last weekend. The kids are 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, and we found the questions were aimed just at the right level - hard enough to be interesting but do-able enough to keep everyone interested. I would recommend this to anyone with an afternoon to fill in Oxford.

Fun day out! - It’s a clever concept. It will appeal to those who like puzzles and murder mystery style books. The clues were well written and it takes you to some of the interesting corners of Oxford.
Some of the clues are a bit too easy (though this keeps it family friendly)
Definitely worth stopping off at the pub it takes you to en route!

Do not waste your money - Quite boring!!! Clues are confusing until the very last one…and you need to get to the last one, believe me.
Tour isn’t that interesting, historical spots are not so interesting or the best.
Anyway, if I could ask my money back, I would.
