Solve cryptic clues around central Manchester on your phone. A flexible, private 2.5-hour walk from Piccadilly to Chinatown.
“A great way to get to see interesting parts of the city. Comfy shoes are a must and we availed ourselves of the refreshment recommendations along the way so paced ourself .”
Self-guided York treasure hunt with cryptic phone clues, landmark stops, and Captain Bess hints. Flexible, no print, about 2 hours.
“Quite good, bit tricky finding some of the locations especially when the city is really busy , missed some clues because big groups were in the way.”
HiddenCity’s The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat is a 3-4 hour phone puzzle walk through central London, with team play and pit stops.
“I did this experience with my friends in London for my birthday. The overall experience was enjoyable and had many elements of fun mystery solving, staff roleplay and city exploring over a vast scale. However, my group and I did have a few issues to note. The game does not have any features to let you know how much more there is to complete (no checkpoints) which left my group confused and stressed. As a result, we had to end the game early and continue another day before the 28 day expiration. We were very pleased to get the chance to continue where we left off but were disappointed to…”
Do a self-guided treasure hunt through Bath with cryptic smartphone clues, chat-style hints, and flexible pacing around top sights.
“Definitely good for children to learn about the city. Would have been even better if more history facts are brought out through each quest and some sort of rewards in the end, ie a CHAMPION sticker 😅 …..etc”
Self-guided Oxford treasure hunt with cryptic clues, mobile maps, and flexible start times, visiting Oxford Castle, Radcliffe Camera, and more.
“A great way to learn about the city for both kids and adults. Easy booking process and seamless process on the day of the experience”
Escape a real prison cell at Shepton Mallet, then explore the historic site. 60 minutes, small groups, mobile tickets, great value.
“Great fun. The dark and handcuffs added an additional element of complexity! Tia was an excellent guard. All in all a lot of fun and a legit location for an escape room”
Solve Jack the Ripper clues on a 2.5-hour Whitechapel night walk, with historic stops, top guides, and a fun interactive mystery.
“It is a two and a half hour walking tour. You do not return to the departure point meaning you have to orient yourself wrt your return journey. Lisa was helpful in all areas. You get a fair bit of history and a nice download of old pics and reports.”
Join Captain Bess for a phone-based treasure hunt across Birmingham’s top spots, solving cryptic clues at your own pace in about 2 hours.
“This might not look much but it really is enjoyable and at times challenging. It shows hidden parts of Birmingham's past and the impressive and very visible new parts. It is great if you don't like following a group.”
Solve Chester with cryptic phone clues and Captain Bess. Visit cathedral, Roman sites, parks, River Dee, and the Rows at your pace.
“Great fun. Completed at our own pace with lunch stop and ice cream break. Clues were challenging whilst not impossible.”
Follow phone clues across South Kensington on a 3-4 hour scavenger hunt, with fair puzzles, team play, and café breaks.
“We had a lot of fun exploring parts of the Kensington neighborhood we hadn’t seen before the puzzles were challenging but fair, and you can choose to linger in pubs/cafes enjoying the atmosphere and talking to people. This is our third Hidden City adventure, and they’ve all been enjoyable.”
Solve cryptic phone clues around Brighton with Captain Bess, paced to your group, hitting the Royal Pavilion, Pier, and The Lanes.
“Good value and easy to book. Some of the clues were very difficult to solve without the hints, particularly in a small group of only two people. I think a group of 3-6 people may be better. Some of the locations on the tour were also rather obscure and not the tourist spots I was expecting to see! This perhaps suits someone who knows Brighton well already and wants to see some of the less well-known things”
Solve cryptic clues on your phone through Cambridge highlights, from King’s College Chapel to The Round Church, at your pace.
“We took our 12 yr old Grandson and we all thoroughly enjoyed the morning, there is a bit of going back and forth over the same ground at the beginning but necessary. A tip I would give is, look behind sometimes ! Great fun”
