What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
What great fun!We had a great day exploring Melbourne, working out the cryptic clues and seeing the sights of our town.From dumplings in Chinatown, to a G&T on a rooftop bar, it was a perfect day
Really great clues and a fun way to explore the city.
This is the second day out I’ve had using City Days. So much fun! Saw parts of Melbourne I never would have. Highly recommend.
This was so much fun. We had other activities organised for the day, so ended up having to rush through in order to finish (obviously we are not Amazing Race contenders). Allow plenty of time to complete this and you will thoroughly enjoy every moment.Be prepared to think cryptically.Very well organised and loved to see places and things in the CBD that are mostly overlooked. Thank you
We had loads of fun exploring the city and discovering sites/landmarks we hadn’t seen in years
Great experience. Clues were vague enough to be challenging but we were able to work them all out without hints. Thought the game communications worked very well.
