What Blackpool players say
★★★★★
it was a fun walk with lots of little puzzles and word games. some easy and some kinda tricky. I wouldn't say it would be great for a toddler but anyone 12+ could probably have fun with this game as long as they like to do the 2 main things involved here (walking and words)
★★★★★
we both enjoy this activity. An inexpensive way to spend the evening together and explore our downtown area. It allowed us to spot some businesses we weren’t even aware existed! Admittedly, we were still stumped at the end and the actual killer was our third choice.
★★★★★
this was a lot of fun and the weather outside was perfect for strolling the streets. The clues were great but we were overthinking many of them lol would definitely recommend and do again. it’s a great side quest adventure for a day when you have a couple of hours
