We had a great time but a couple of clues may need adjusting slightly..the unnecessary red iron ( an early clue) has been painted black. Plus the alley opposite the church was very misleading as there is an adjacent alley named ate o'clock which leads to a restaurant only and the clue became very confusing afterwards. However we enjoyed the experience and saw new things ????

We have done a number of these kind of walks before but mostly in London. We really enjoy escape rooms, immersive games etc.
We enjoyed this but felt it lacked some challenge. The clues involved some thought but once you’d reached each destination there was no challenge, the answer was clear.
As a result the end felt a little anti-climactic as we didn’t feel we’d achieved much - other than lots of steps!
It was good value and got us around the city a bit, so from that point of view it was good. Just missing a real challenge/adventure to give the sense of achievement we wanted.
