A fun and interactive way to discover York. We were entertained by the queer clues and had hints to help us along the way. We got to see York and its many wonders. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Really enjoyable. My wife and I wanted something different to the usual 'date night' and I found this online. So glad we did. I highly recommend. No local knowledge is required. Indeed, the 'mission' took mee to parts of York I'd never seen. One of the best couple of hours I can reccomend in York.

We had a good laugh but found it very difficult and after the hints there’s no more help. By accident we realised if you keep putting in guesses eventually you’ll move to the next clue but when you’re lost it made it so hard to follow. Good idea but not with teens.

We did the secret city murder mystery in York at the weekend we chose to use what's app for the clues and as I work in this industry I wanted to see how well it all worked. I can safely say it was seemless and alot of fun the clues came quickly and gave great cryptic clues make sure you read the questions tho a few times I read them a Completyly different way to my husband lol which meant some back tracking but we had a great time exploring the back streets and outer edges of York it took us just over 2 hours to complete at a leasuirly pace and we stopped for lunch and some drinks at one of the allotted break times all in all highly recomend I'd definatly like to do more of these tours
