What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
What a great experience! My partner is Australian but we still learnt lots of facts we didn’t already know, we had a great day out and can’t wait to do another one with some friends soon! Highly recommend
A really fun evening
Had a great time seeing the city and using our brain power to figure out the answers to each clue. We certainly saw places that we wouldn't have seen if we were just wandering!
We had such a wonderful time. The only issue is the last clue was almost unsolvable as they have renovations going so the area is blocked off and we were not able to walk the path shown. We tried to message to say but it was recorded as incorrect answer. We then tried a hint which explained the path to walk which we couldn't due to the area being blocked off. We walked around all the blocked area and peeked thought the fence where we could to try get the last clue which we eventually got
Thoroughly enjoyed our outing. Melbourne is my home town but saw lots of details I’ve never noticed before.
Great idea to actually see the places you visit instead of just going from A to B, and the puzzles are good, not too challenging but also (mostly) not too easy.
