Oxford Mystery Quest: Exploration Game and Tour

Fun, informative adventure through Oxford

We had a great time with this Oxford adventure. Good mix of story, puzzles that actually involve the environment, and background information on the places it leads you to visit. Some of the puzzles were rather easy, others tricky—but all of them made sense and were solvable. The real-world history collected here was quite fascinating and fun, highlighting the quirks and traditions of the various colleges found in downtown Oxford. Always a welcome addition to these city-exploration games. With 15 chapters, this Questo was on the longer side, taking us over two hours (plus breaks). So we certainly felt that we got our money’s worth! Only suggestion for improvement would be the text formatting during dialogue: at first glance, it was sometimes difficult to tell who was speaking, making it hard to keep consistent voices for the various characters.

Blenheim Palace Tour App, Hidden Gems Game and Big Britain Quiz (1 Day Pass) UK

Not a tour, but an interactive quiz

We mistakenly booked this experience thinking it was an alternative to the "Archie" audio tour. Instead, it is an interactive app to quiz you on what you discovered on your own self-guided tours throughout Blenheim Palace. While this may not be a good fit for someone seeking a guided audio tour, it is a fun and interactive tool. We reached out to the tour operator and a received prompt response.
