What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
What a great fun time exploring the city seeing alot of places we have never experienced before. Only point off was due to the confusing "murder mystery" aspect which didn't make much sense and we had to just guess the answer.
My partner and I had such a great time exploring the city in a whole new way. The experience made us notice little details we’d usually overlook as locals, and it really helped us appreciate the CBD more. Along the way, we discovered so many restaurants and cafes we can't wait to come back to for future dates!It was super fun, a little bit challenging, and just a really nice way to spend time together. Definitely recommend!
Great fun! QW clue not working as building under construction and all covered up.
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!
Was great fun, would definitely recommend
The clues were quite hard, but not impossible!We really enjoyed the exploration game!We’ll definitely try another trail!
