★★★★★
me and my thruple LOVED the tour and the walking was lovly and we danced and pranced
★★★★★
Good fun - more use of local landmarks would’ve been better. only 2 utilised on this tour.
★★★★
It was a fun experience that took you around city center without going too far in any one direction. Good to do with friends.
★★★★
The event was really fun and would be good for people that haven't visited Nottingham before for sight seeing. however only a few challengers were reactive to the area we was in. I would have rated this a 5 star if all challenges was reactive to locations in the city that would have given you a photographic clue to find and not just challangers on the app.
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.
