    Christmas Lights Hunt

    Crawl was a lot of fun and very creative. I loved the suggestions of stops along the way and would even have enjoyed if there was maybe one more stop involved or if they came out with hunts that leaned more into a bar crawl theme. Very great time overall and loved the Xmas lights along the way. Would highly recommend!

    The Devil In Chelsea

    Had an amazing time. Cleverly written. Suggest comfortable shoes and spare about 3 hours to finish. Answer questions precisely. Highly recommend.

    Slow Boat to Chinatown

    A really informative and fun treasure hunt, taking in lots of interesting sites. Unfortunately part of the route was blocked because it went past a court house where Donald Trump was on trial, but we can't really blame City days for that...
