A Real Highlight of our Trip!
We were a family group of 4 adults and 3 children aged 8, 11 & 15. We all thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt! We saw things we would never have noticed and learnt things about the city in a fun and interactive way. The puzzles were varied in nature and had a variety of difficulty from easy to challenging which kept us on our toes. We did this on our first day in the city and it was a great way to familiarise ourselves with the city and learn our way around.
There was a bit of construction going on in Inverness and as a result we were not able to complete 2 of the 16 puzzles.
Despite this it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others!
I would encourage everyone to complete the optional photo/video challenges as the app allows you to download them to your device afterwards and they were a hilarious reminder of all the fun we had!
We are already thinking about which city to do next!!

Recommend 👍🏼
We’ve done other treasure hunts when we’ve been away but this one is good now the children are getting older (mainly teenagers). Some tricky clues scattered around the town which give you a focus when you’re exploring. We didn’t rush and stopped off along the way for drinks and icecream, and it took us about 5 hours. Perhaps a teeny bit too long for us (only a question or two) but the questions are fun, and we really enjoyed the challenge - the photos and videos along the way are really fun too. It made it different from the rest. Definitely recommend.

Go for it - lots of fun!!
Such a fun way to see the city and learn so much! This adventure is through a very very professionally done app. I didn’t know what to expect and now I will be looking for more cities
Good fun, self-paced and good exercise. Beats the boring bus tours. I highly recommend this!
Operator response

Scavenger hunt that never happened
Never happened. Never got a code to start the experience and had to request two refunds. I was told there was a glitch in the system 👎
Operator response
Hi. Again, we are so sorry that there were some technical problems with you getting your code. We tried to sort it out for you once the issue was fixed but realise that you weren't in the area any longer. We did get you your refund straight away and let you know you can have another free Quest on us.
