    Somehow we got lost in the system and no one turned up to do our tour. They did refund us and gave us the opportunity to do a different event for free which we were not able to do. They were very pleasant to deal with but it was disappointing.

    This was our second year of playing these games. This year we played The Pirate`s Riddle. The quests are very well thought out and you get to see and understand more of parts of Edinburgh that could be missed just by normal sightseeing. This game would probably suit around 4 or more players but it was just myself and my fiancée and we did need some pointers and extra clues, Our game master was very quick to reply. We look forward to playing another game next year. We highly recommend these games

    Organised this for my birthday. Split in 2 teams and had a great afternoon. A lot of work has gone into designing the hunt with very creative puzzles and props and a nice storyline.

    I took 18 of us on the pirates riddle and it was excellent! Good level of difficulty with us all getting stuck at different points and a competitive tight finish! Would definitely recommend and would try the other games in the future. Easy to organise and great contact beforehand. Thanks Sabela!
