★★★★★
great way to explore hampstead on a gloomy winter’s day!
★★★★★
Great game! loved that the distance wasn’t too far apart. It’s the perfect way to explore the city and get your steps in on a nice day. Questions we’re definitely challenging
★★★★★
fun walk through Noblesville, for the price this was a reasonable quest but some of the clues were triple the difficulty of previous ones which doesn't make a lot of sense
Gather your party
Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From £4.60 per person, with no booking and no set time.
Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
