Games and Challenges in Manchester

Fly a real Boeing 747 flight simulator

A fantastic way to experience the Boeing 747.

I really really enjoyed my two hours in the 747 simulator today at Barton Aerodrome. I am so happy I pushed the boat out and went for the two hour experience. My co-pilot and instructor Tim Storrs was so informative, patient, encouraging and so so easy to get along with. A top gentleman indeed. If I ever booked another session I would have all fingers and toes crossed that I would be lucky enough to have him beside me again. - It's very easy to find with free ample parking right outside the simulator hangar.

Manchester Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour

Fun & interesting

Was a great way to see the city and find out little bits that we wouldn't have done otherwise. Was easy to follow & interesting. Would definitely do this again for our next city break 😀

Go Quest Manchester

Whilst it was an entertaining few hours in Manchester on this quest, unfortunately we did not find it as good as another similar provider we have used. We prefer the physical book type. Firstly it mentions needing pen and paper only after inputting quest details in. Reviewing long information and puzzles on a small screen was not ideal particularly when it requires screenshots or significant use of pen and paper. Most of them took a while to solve and just wasn’t quite the right balance being fun and frustration. In addition, there was no storyline and it required being familiar with the street names rather than providing proper orientation using landmarks at times. Furthermore, the use of What3Words was a bit pointless as it was just for a very short part. All in all, it was fun to stumble around Manchester and see hidden spots, but the overall experience could be better.
