What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
Death in the rocks. This was our second city days adventure. The first one had a technical glitch and stopped working. They assisted quickly and gave us this second one. We had a blast so much fun and you see things that you have walked past many times and learn more about it. Lots of laughs, lots of fun. A great day out.
We enjoyed the day. Captain Cook statue had a big fence around it, preventing us from getting too close but other than that, we had absolutely no issues. Clues were easy to follow, some were trickier than others. A great experience for every age. Good for locals and tourists. Highly recommended
It was an awesome experience and a family time together thinking through the clues and chasing the murderer!!
A fun way to explore the city (even for locals).
We had a ball, great fun, great way to explore the city.
Loved the adventure! Really appreciated that recent construction was taken into account. We had a blast, the clues weren’t too hard but we still had to think. What a great way to explore, we went places that we just would not have found without this
