This scavenger hunt was such a fun introduction to the city! I played with my husband and we had such a blast. I especially loved the little history lessons after each clue was found. Such a wonderful idea and look forward to playing more of these in other cities.

Hi, it was a great way to learn about the city and to get to know some interesting facts. After doing the hunt, we had a much better sense of direction in the city.

My friend and I really enjoyed the trail. We've discovered some new places to explore, we meet monthly in Edinburgh, and it was really fun. Perhaps you could also do a trail in the New Town as well, we'd certainly enjoy doing that too.

Brilliant experience. We learnt so much about Edinburgh and saw places that we probably wouldn’t have visited. Lots of fun working out the answers to the clues

We played the treasure hunt as part of our work team away day. It was so much fun and very enjoyable ☺️

We had so much fun! We already saw all of the touristy stuff in Edinburgh, so this tour was the perfect way to explore the city on our own timeline, being able to stop whenever we wanted. We discovered unique hidden spots, were challenged by the clues, and had a blast!

Fantastic way to see some unique sights in the old town while solving some clues. A great activity for our twenty something kids with adults, all while accommodating a self directed time table.

A great treasure hunt and walking tour of the city. Even though I'm local I still learned lots as we made our way around all of the clues. Very interactive and you can take it at your own pace. Ideal for older kids and friends.

Had a blast doing this. 16 workmates in teams of four. Had reservations about how it would work. I needn't have worried. It was excellent from start to finish. Well thought out clues and the app works really well! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to take a walk round Edinburgh Old Town
