5So whimsical!
Such a fun adventure, discovered a lot of things we would’ve missed otherwise! Made me feel like a kid again. Absolutely recommend!!
1Awful
This treasure hunt was extremely difficult. The third clue was completely missing, the fourth was incorrect, and it was very difficult knowing how far you should be walking to spot the answer, so it resulted in a lot of backtracking, and in the end, we couldn't finish it.
5A Great Way to See York's Snickleways, Gates and Bars
Our second York Treasure Hunt with this company, and just as enjoyable as the first one. We know York quite well, but on both occasions we found ourselves discovering parts of the city we'd never seen before. Clues are varied and just tough enough to stretch the brain cells without leaving you too frustrated. That, combined with the ability to stop for a drink and/or lunch on the way around the city, make either Treasure Hunt a great day out.
5Working together to solve the clues
Fun exploring parts of York not seen before. Clues set about right, some quite easy to solve, others we needed a couple of hints. A great way to spend a few hours in a lovely city.
5Fun way to explore the city
My two children and I played this game over two days. It was very fun and informative. York is very well suited to this kind of adventure. The riddles are tricky but doable. The "captain" makes some funny quips along the way. Fun for a family!
5Would recommend!
Really enjoyed this! Would recommend to anyone going to York. You go to places you wouldn't have come across if left to your own devices. Really fun and not made too easy so you have to look at your surroundings to solve.

About York
York is a walled cathedral city in northern England, a place of Roman and Viking history, medieval lanes and a vast Gothic minster.
York Minster, among the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe, towers over the city, and its stained glass includes the Great East Window, one of the biggest areas of medieval glass in the country. Medieval walls, the longest in England, encircle the old centre and can be walked along the top. The Shambles, a narrow lane of leaning timber-framed buildings, was once the street of butchers.
