What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
We started Monday with a hard stop at 6pm and got completely focused on finding one answer for waaay to long then needed a long milkshake break to recover.Had to stop and continue the next day but had few penalties so still ranked high. Just goes to show how great and flexible these puzzles are!
Great wee day out. Took us around parts of Edinburgh we had never seen. Can't wait to do another.
Absolutely brilliant, we did it as a couple and stopped at pubs along the way which we wouldn’t have come across!! Brilliant!!
Great way to explore city whilst having fun solving the clues
Had a great day seeing the sights of Edinburgh, clues were not too tricky and a fab way to see a new city.Will try another with a bigger crowd next time!
Very nice challenge. We did 3 in London before and Edinburgh was great too. We would have missed a lot of interesting places without it. Beware, some answers can be hard to spot because of crowds of other visitors.
