Cluedupp GeoGames 12+

Having done 2 of their events now (both in York) I can say these are fantastic. The Sneaky Finders event which we attended last year was amazing, and my whole team found it to be really fun exploring the city to then puzzle together everything to find the suspect. Now having done the Witchcraft and Wizardry event yesterday myself and my partner had great fun with their update system of finding clues and user interface in the app itself. It was certainly more difficult and took us just under 3 hours to complete but we both had a great time.

Only issue I have with this app is that the GPS tracking can be a bit off and the ping time for updating your location is a bit too long for my liking.

Will definitely be looking at doing more of these as they release them, and will definitely be recommending to more of my friends and work colleagues.

I bought tickets for my family after seeing that it was an all ages, DEFINITELY not for children only, scavenger hunt around the city. The photos promoting the game show real decorations and people dressed up as part of the game, as if those dressed up where giving you clues. To my whole family’s disappointment and annoyance NONE of the things photographed or advertised were true. This game was 100% a children's one, without ANY enjoyable puzzles for the adults to enjoy and not any kind of outdoor decor or actors. It was not immersive in the slightest and a massive waste of time that even the kids didn’t end up enjoying. It even included characters that had nothing to do with Alice in wonderland. All of the clues and puzzles are completely virtual making this more difficult to do together, the whole experience feeling more like a drawn out mobile game than a scavenger hunt. We have done different scavenger hunts around london before, and they were a hundred times better than this one. If you are an adult and are considering doing this experience I recommend you skip it and buy tickets to one of the many more fun, well planned and immersive scavenger hunts around the city.

As a group of the “Older Generation” this was interesting, and forced us to see parts of the city we’d otherwise not have seen!
Major downsides to this game were the time involved, the massive drain on a smartphone’s battery, and very sporadic GPS Positioning and slow map updates (quite what the compass symbol was for I’ve no idea, as it had no relevance as to orientation whatsoever)
The game (whilst very clever and well thought out) was not pertinent to the city, and at one point, we were walking up a pretty, narrow side street, the story line suggested that we were in woodland, where a body was found!!
The game involved a lot of aimless walking around, and returning to many places we’d visited before, crossing our own paths on numerous occasions.
The story line seemed very disjointed, and after basically giving up, having found all sites, spoken to all suspects, witnesses, and collected and delivered all evidence to its relevant places, we were still none the wiser.
It would have been nice to have had clues on actual buildings, or place names, which made the city part of the investigation.
We did however thoroughly enjoy our day I Bath, and the upshot is that we will definitely be going back for a better (less distracted) look at Bath.
Despite a seemingly negative review, we had a great day, filled with laughter and much head scratching, and would still highly recommend it !!
