Simple low cost and easy to use. Great fun and useful unknown city
Nothing beats landing in an unfamiliar city and having something simple to point you in the right direction, Silas! Glad Southampton opened up a bit for you and that the app stayed easy to use throughout. That's exactly the balance we're after: low cost, no fuss, plenty of fun. Whenever the next unknown city comes along, we've probably got a hunt waiting for you there too. Your Explorial Team
It was a great experience. Very educative, insightful and fun. We had so much fun but unfortunately, we couldn’t finish as we were tired but in a good. Definitely good value for money. Unfortunately, we couldn’t enter most of the buildings because some were under renovation and others were shut for the day. We will start our journey earlier next time for better experience. Will definitely recommend!!!
Sounds like Southampton gave you plenty, even if the day ran out before you did! Shame about the buildings — renovations and closing times are always a bit of a lottery and sadly outside what we can control, but starting earlier next time is exactly the move to catch more of them open. Love that it still landed as educative, fun and good value all at once. Thanks for the lovley recommendation — and whenever you fancy finishing what you started (or trying somewhere new), there are plenty more citys waiting. Your Explorial Team
A great way to get to know the city. We did it the first day we were here. Highly recommended. We have done Explorial before and loved it
Kicking off your trip with a hunt on day one is honestley the smart move — you get your bearings and a good dose of fun in one go. Glad Southampton delivered, and even happier to hear you came back to us after last time. Thanks for the recommendation, Paula. There are loads more citys waiting whenever the next trip rolls around. Your Explorial Team
We had a great time exploring Southampton with Explorial. Definitely *****! This is the third Explorial we have done, all were excellent, ***** for all.
Three Explorials and still coming back for more — that kind of loyalty means alot to us, Paula. Southampton's an easy one to fall for, and we're chuffed it held its own next to the two that came before. Thank you so much for sticking with us the whole way through. There are plenty more citys on the map for whenever number four starts calling. Your Explorial Team
Absolutely loved all of the history we learned. However, the Art Museum was closed for renovation and the Titanic exhibit has closed for the day by the time we got there.
Thank you so much for your review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
