A fun way to explore London
madeleine_l, Aug 2023
The trip was challenging enough to be fun but not frustratingly difficult. It was fun to follow, and we found all sorts of interesting places I'd never known about before. I did this with my teenage son who loved it. My only suggestion for improvement would be a leaderboard so you could see where you ranked against others who had done it in the past.
Very enjoyable activity

Well worth doing, discover areas you wouldn't otherwise go to. Just remember that if your answers don't send straight away...wait! Getting a second person to send them gets them out of sync and can result in time penalties for wrong answers!
How to learn about hidden gems in London and have fun doing it.

If you want a really fun and challenging way to see parts of the city of London that you never even knew existed, then this is the perfect activity for you and your group. While a little knowledge of London is definitely helpful, it is not necessarily required. I would recommend booking some scooters or bikes to get around. Most treks between clues aren't too long, but if it's warm out, there is quite a bit of walking on pavement, so a very good comfortable pair of shoes is an absolute must. My wife and I have been to London once before, and she has done many more tours than I have, but we were able to work our way through the clues and find the answers without too much trouble. If you're a fan of word puzzles or escape rooms, you will likely enjoy this little adventure. We took a good number of breaks, as our feet and knees were suffering from the walking, so a decent team, with good shoes and healthy knees and backs should be able to accomplish this within 2 - 3 hours, without issue, while still leaving time to look around a bit. If you want to be surprised by London, this is how to do it.
Too hard and not fun
Anthony_J, Sep 2021
This was so tricky! We’ve done lots of treasure trails in the past, but this was like cracking the Di Vinci code - but harder. Clues was so obscure that we struggled and therefore didn’t find it that enjoyable. It was meant to be fun but didn’t feel that way.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Hi Anthony, I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't find our route enjoyable, it is a very fine balance getting the difficult just right and we thought we'd got it just right (according to our other reviews) but admit that it can vary from person to person. We operate a full money back guarantee for those that don't enjoy the trail, please reach out and we'll be happy to sort this out for you. Did you know/use our HINT and LOST commands to help with parts you found difficult? Kind regards, Tom
Great time, didn’t finish due to the heat

We had a lovely time doing this trail, we just picked the hottest day of the year and so got too hot and burnt to continue past halfway!
