5.00Had a really good time! We stopped for lunch and coffees along the way and really explored the city. The treasure hunt focuses on general observation and you don't need to have knowledge of the city to do it as it tells you snippets along the way. We really enjoyed it, thank you!
Great way to spend a few hours

5.00Really fun way to see the city - even in the rain. The clues were challenging but fun and we learnt a lot about Sheffield on the walk, going to places we probably wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.

5.00This was a great way to explore the city. The clues were not too tricky and we had a food and beer stop en route. My friend has visited Sheffield many times and she discovered new places that she hadn’t seen before.
Brilliant Fun

5.00We found the treasure hunt fun and challenging, we stopped off to view different things on the way round and stopped off for a drink or two. We would definitely do something similar again as we have travelled to Sheffield several times over the last couple of years and never seen the things that we have seen on this treasure hunt.
