What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
We received this as a present and had a great time discovering new information about Sydney
Such a fun day and a fun activity! You learn a lot while running around, both to problem solve and the history behind each monument/place the hunt guides you to. Would definitely recommend this as a fun activity to do in a group, you definitely feel your bonds strengthen as you realise that sometimes the answer is really that simple!
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!
