5.00This was a great way to see Sheffield. We were only here for one day, so this was great. Took us 3 hours and a little over 7 miles. Somethings could be changed but overall great. We did stop at a few pubs on the way. It doesn't start and end at the same place. We were about 10-15 walk from our hotel. Beautiful city I highly recommend
Fun and inventive way to explore a city

5.00This is a really good way to find some hidden gems while getting a mental and physical workout. We did this adventure in a group of five. The clues and messages were delivered promptly and worked really well. Even those of us reasonably familiar with some areas of Sheffield found new nooks and crannies to explore. There are breaks built into the challenge (which you can take or skip over according to your preference) and useful links to interesting features and artists in case you don't have time to fully explore them during the game. Top tip - make sure your phone is fully charged and/or bring a charger with you. You"ll probably want to take lots of photos as you go round. A piece of paper and a pen might be useful too! We all enjoyed the game and are looking forward to the next one.
Great

5.00This was great fun, we started a little later than expected so it was dark by the time that we had finished but it took us all around sheffield and we really took in the sites and buildings by doing this experience. My partner and I both agree that this is a fantastic way to get to know a city and what it has to offer.
Good walking and talking time

5.00We found the walk really enjoyable. We did this a family with two older teenagers and they were both really engaged and they are a tough audience. A great way to see the hidden gems of the town. It certainly took us off to parts we might otherwise not have seen. We took our time and enjoyed the stops along the way so took us over 4 hours but it was all manageable. A great day out.
Fabulous way to explore the city

5.00A great way to spend a couple of hours exploring a new side of Sheffield. We had a fabulous time solving the clues around the city, it was well executed via WhatsApp and we enjoyed the pub stops within the game. Highly recommend!
A great way to spend an afternoon

5.00A great way to explore the city in a totally unique way. You see parts of the city that you never knew were there, or you took for granted. The format works really well on WhatsApp, is really flexible and the built in breaks (if needed) were perfectly timed. A really enjoyable experience and we would highly recommend!
See Sheffield a little differently

4.00Great way to see the city, exploring routes we wouldn't otherwise discover. A challenging and fun experience that got us thinking at the right level. Between the two of us, we solved the mystery, all through WhatsApp texts. A little confusing at times when you need to scroll to previous messages etc. It's a shame there was nothing at the end of it as an achievement souvenir to say we've done it or compare our timings to other players :/
Good equipment
