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!
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!
Had a great day out in the city. We know the city pretty well from our younger years and got to see some old familiar sights in a new light and also discovered some other places we hadn't been before. Two of the questions were a bit vague and we had to ask for hints, it could have been because it got dark and it was harder to see the landmarks? Overall it was a great day and would love to do another one soon We will make sure to start earlier so we can take out time a but more with the stops.
Very good
