    We did the Edinburgh treasure hunt as family with my partner and 3 kids. This was after I had already done the York Treasure hunt as a team building day with my work colleagues. I would highly recommend these treasure hunts for both of these types of occasions. You can work as one team or 2 teams competing against each other and the game is very engaging and intuitive. It's a great way to explore the cities and see the sights without the kids moaning about walking around. They absolutely loved it and found the whole thing quite magical. The route and the clues are very well thought out and provide a good challenge without being impossible. Would highly recommend

    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.
