Great fun from start to finish. I highly recommend Questo to all who are thinking of joining in the professionally designed and highly successful idea! I felt that my wife and I have seen Colchester in a new light and have been surprised at the history and culture that is usually missed by many people. The riddles and clues are really well presented and are as only as difficult to solve as you make it. JOIN IN THE FUN NOW.
