The best experience
I was never a fan of scavenger hunts until today! I never normally do things like this but gave it a try as had a spare weekend in Sydney.

Very good time
I’ve been living in Sydney for twenty years. But I never got to know this amazing side and history of my city. Definitely recommend to other people to visit.

The best choice I could made
It was a fun adventure without the need of a guide. Was a good way to see the best of Sydney with my friends. Adventure Clues was a great choice!

To any mysterious history lover out there
This adventure is equally fun for both history buffs and mystery lovers. Which is a perfect combo for my team. Could do with a slightly clearer route.
M
Fun adventure
My HR was looking for a fun activity for our department. As an adventure lover, I recommended him Sydney Trails. And he just loved it, and so did my teammates.

Inaccuracies within the clues
The answer to the first question would not be acknowledged by the system. There were clues that needed to be updated due to construction in the vicinity that made the clues invalid. We had to back track two or three times to continue the journey. One clue towards the end had an incorrect word used which changed the entire meaning of the answer required. The area where the exploration occurs is fairly small, but there is a lot to see. Some of the back streets are a little uninviting and if you were by yourself would be hesitant to enter these areas.

Explore Sydney the fun way
We had a fabulous time exploring the Sydney City trail today- we thought we knew Sydney so well, but where pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns through all the laneways. Cryptic clues were great and took time to decipher. A most enjoyable experience
