Thoroughly recommend!! - I live locally to Birmingham but having done other treasure hunts it seemed appropriate to do one closer to home. Logging and in starting the game is so easy and straightforward and there was evening a notification about other events in the area that could impact the hunt before we finished the booking so we could make an informed decision!! The route was great and took in lots of things we’d never noticed before and places we’d never been. Great pit stop recommendations were included in the tour and it’s so well put together!! This was our 4th city treasure hunt and I would thoroughly recommend.

Great way to see unusual sights - We’ve done a couple of these now and they’re always great. They get you around to places you wouldn’t ordinarily go, and looking for clues does make you more observant to your surroundings as well. Would always recommend, and we’ll definitely do more on our travels.

The best treasure hunt company we've found by a mile - I found Treasure Hunt online as a surprise for my girlfriend a few years back, completing the Brighton challenge. We loved the way it cleverly weaved local history into the experience, and things you would notice if you looked more carefully. It was an amazing way to spend a few hours, and the Birmingham hunt did not disappoint! It's very fairly priced and you can also pause if you need a break (for up to a year) We've also tried other companies but there's no comparison. We thoroughly recommend them to everyone 💯

Amazing treasure trail - Had a fab day exploring a side of Birmingham we had never seen before. Beautiful architecture, amazing viewpoint from the Library of Birmingham, canalside walk and through the historic jewellery quarter. The website app was really easy to use and what we really loved was the indepth information provided at points of interest throughout our walk. The Captain's Log we received after we finished meant we had a treasured memory of the day. The best treasure trail we've done to date!

A great experience - We loved the treasure hunt, it was really easy to follow, I have been living in Birmingham for 33 years and I learnt so much I didn’t know. Was so much fun and look forward to doing another one. Thank you also for making the route wheelchair accessible as this was very important to us as we was trying to find an activity my friend could take part in. 🙏

Great fun with historical and interesting aspects - Great city tour that takes you a little off the beaten track of the immediate city centre by taking in some jewellery quarter and St Paul’s square. Fun interactive WhatsApp instructions and clues. Pays £30 for 4 ( well worth it) and had 3 hours of fun with a drink stop. Not too far to walk over time. 100% recommend

Great way to get to know the city - The treasure hunt is a great way to take a in our case first look around the city. It makes you navigate and look around making you get familiar with Birmingham. Would recommend!

Great way to see and learn about Birmingham - Hi, we thoroughly enjoyed the few hours working our way around Birmingham, working out clues. The ice and snow inhibited us a bit, but that was just unlucky! There were a couple of clues which were covered by scaffolding. The library 1 we had help from a worker behind the scaffolding, and the owl clue on a building with scaffolding on it was a guess! We really enjoyed the info given about parts of Birmingham City 😀 Admission price was fair and length of walk was just right. Loved around the canal.
