5.00Brilliant, just brilliant. From start to finish, the quest kept you immersed and was highly informative but also lots of fun. There was one point where the clue was confusing and could be better explained (Lorimers row) but apart from that, the whole thing was brilliant and we would definitely look forward to doing more in different cities.
Great fun and thoroughly enjoyed it and a good way to see and learn about Chester.

5.00Great fun and thoroughly enjoyed it and a good way to see and learn about Chester. Just some tips. 1) It does say in the 'blurb', but depending on how long it takes, it does drain the battery on your device and if you want to add people into into your team, they too have to download the app, so it's draining the battery on everyone's devices, so ensure that you have a powerbank and/or charger with you. 2) Also says in the 'blurb', you may need a pen and paper, which can be a bit fiddly when stood in the street trying to solve some of the puzzles. An alternative is to take a screenshot on your device and use edit mode. Some of the challenges are harder than others, eg. trying to find something on a building may be able to be done by anybody (even children) but some of the others are a bit more complex. 3) Read the whole challenge rather than just scanning it and skipping to the end, as there are usually tips to help you find what you are looking for and where it is. 4) The 'team leader' has control of the app, so be sure to communicate as it can be bit frustrating if you're trying to read something in the app and the team leader then moves it on. Having done Chester, we will probably do another and have already planned to 'gift' Quests to others for them to enjoy.

5.00A fantastic way to see this beautiful city and find out about its history. We have been to Chester on many occasions but with this quest we saw and experienced places we have never been to. It was fun for all the family members but some questions were tricky as they were not explained properly, this did not distract from the fun but some spelling and questions need to be adapted. If you want to explore Chester and have some fun then this is a must do.
