Murder Detective Self-Guided Tour i Manchester

A really nice experience and you visit places you want to see in the city. The assignments are funny and you get some facts about the city along with them. This is how you get to know Manchester better. Enough places to take a break.

Fun way to explore Manchester at your own pace. Definitely recommend as the game/app guided us to places we would have probably missed.

Great way to explore Manchester at your own pace while learning about different areas and the history of the city. Completed with my daughter and we just took our time.

It was very difficult to follow the directions. If you don't know the area. It's very difficult to know which way a street is running. We gave up after the first location and never found the clue. Very confusing. We found it a waste of money.

I bought a quest/self-guided tour in Manchester. There were several to choose from, and the one I bought was called murder detective - yet throughout the experience (which took up the whole day 1pm-8pm), there was no murder, and the story was pretty confusing. I was unable to log in to start the quest despite being at the right location, and was unsure if there was meant to be a QR code or something (as instructions were unclear). Staff at the cathedral were unaware of the quest having a starting point there (and one lady was very rude). I finally worked out that I needed to use the customer contact chat option. This was very frustrating as the assistant kept sending me links to other quests (which I had no interest in and which started on the opposite side of the city). Part of the reason for this is the confusing/incorrect title for this quest. There is another one with ‘murder’ in the title for example. In the end I had to use the photo from the email confirmation to be sure I had the correct quest. After 45 minutes of confusion, I was able to start the quest. Later on, there were wrong directions given (eg right instead of left), and vague instructions (eg turn the corner - whilst at a t-junction - which way?). There was also a reference to a wall mural on the side of a building which was nowhere near and I had to use Google and retrace to find it. When I got there the building was joined to other shops either side and thus did not have external side walls. Lots of wasted time. I did stop at a coffee shop at the Art and Design centre, but by the time I arrived at the final point of the science museum it was shut.

Awesome tour some really great true crime tales from Manchester. A really cheap way to get lots of steps in and find out some fun facts and solve clues

A fun tour. It took you to places you probably wouldn't have gone to. Some written directions didn't seem to be correct though (a wrong street name, a wrong turn) but it is also layed out on a map, which works fine. You have to have a good understanding of the English language as well to work out all the clues.

Nice to walk around Manchester with a purpose. You can visit various places on the way round and pause the experience.

Amazing experience. Would 10 out of 10 recomend. There were s bit confusing of left vs right but really played into the game..

We only lost time on our only day playing this in Manchester. The challenges were based on something that was not there anymore. And so were the clues that told you how to get to another place. We were supposed to go to the left at some Black Milk. Have no idea what that is, google maps did not either. For some time we were helping ourselves with google maps, when the clues were bad, until we didn't know where we're going. We had to stop playing. We were not even in the middle. The one clue that was there was a small unimportant thing on one of the houses, which we cloud not find becose we didn't know where exactly we were supposed to stand... Will ask for a refund.
