What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
This was such a great way to see part of Melbourne, with little hidden gens along the way.
It was super fun, from puzzles and solutions varying from small and large with lateral thinking and a great way to explore a suburb, it was very worth the money. However, we wished parking would have been more convenient for the St Kilda one as where you start will end you up with a bit of a walk from the original spot you parked, definitely underestimated how much walking was needed and involved so just be wary of spending an extra 2km to get back.
A fun day in the sunshine. Great way to explore and get to know the area
Such a fun and unique experience! We knew nothing about Melbourne before we started and was still able to figure out the clues. Went to so many cool places and some nice bar pit stops too!
What fun! So interesting, well planned with a great route around the city. Thought the clues were really clever and really made us think. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone in Melbourne who likes a walk and a challenge!
We really enjoyed this experience. The instructions were easy to follow and tech was great. Thanks!
