Great for school-aged kids, too! - This experience was such a fun and creative was to see York! We were able to take in the beautiful sights, amazing architecture, and interesting history, while remaining engaged in an enjoyable family activity! The clues kept us moving throughout the area and gave us nuggets of info and trivia that held our attention. We loved the fun facts and the unique perspectives. We captured great photographs and felt like we got to see so much without the typical “how much longer” or “where should we go next” mentality. This adventure guided us around and kept us engaged and entertained!

Lovely walk, Lots of Fun, Good theme :) - It was great having a purpose walking around York rather than just wandering aimlessly. No time limit so you can do a bit of the clues and then stop off at the minster, a pub etc. Me and my wife had a great time. Definitely recommend

Great way to really see the city! - Excellent instructions and clues challenging enough to follow for kids and adults. Helped us notice and enjoy aspects of the city we may not have otherwise.

Fantastic treasure hunt! - We just did the treasure hunt round York city centre. We absolutely loved it. The hunt took us to some lovely little areas of York that we wouldn’t normally have gone down. The clues were just the right level of difficulty. Not too hard but they made us think. We took our time on the tour and stopped for coffee half way round. Would highly recommend. I did this with my husband but you could easily do this with the family too. It was great to get a virtual medal and score upon completion too.
