  • You will receive a weblink to open on your mobile browser. The screen layout works just like WhatsApp and is very easy to use. You don’t need to print or download anything.
  • The treasure hunt must be completed in daylight, as it’s impossible to find clues in the dark

Good way to discover Liverpool.

March 21, 2023

Really enjoyed this as a cool way to see the city. We completed it in just over 3 hours including a stop or two for coffee. The clues were well written, all doable, apart from one we couldn't get even with a hint. The app was easy to use and instructions easy to follow. It made us notice little things we would have just walked past otherwise. I recommend for anyone who likes to learn a bit of history and enjoys a walk.
