Kept the teenagers entertained

5.00We had an excellent time doing this treasure hunt. We had two teenagers with us and it managed to keep them engaged, which is a tough challenge these days. We needed a hint or two but once we had those it was easy enough to answer the clues. Nicely interactive and very well thought through ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oxford Treasure Hunt

5.00We did the Oxford Treasure Hunt as something to do for my husband's birthday with our older kids. Was great fun & we got to see parts of Oxford that we wouldn't have seen without doing the Treasure Hunt. Booking was simple & the clues were great, hard enough to make you actually look & take in your surroundings but easy enough that you weren't spending too long on each one or wanting to give up. Plenty of opportunities to pause throughout to stop for coffee or lunch, all in all a fantastic day was had by all Definitely recommend, plan on doing other cities now too as its a great way of sight seeing

5.00We had never previously been to Oxford and this was an excellent way to explore the city and learn some interesting facts about it. The treasure hunt was the right amount of time the clues weren’t too difficult but encouraged you to have a really good look around the area. The hidden pub just after the halfway point was an excellent choice for lunch.
Fun little treasure hunt,...

3.00Fun little treasure hunt, but absolutely no need to book per person, excessively expensive for what it is. Slight hitch for us when one of the clues was hidden because the building was closed for a graduation. The ai assistant was unable to adjust to skip it for us.
Great fun
