    No good for non UK number
    They neglect to say it only works for UK numbers. Arrive, type go nothing happens. No support. Pretty rubbish day out. The UK number is mentioned in the support bit when you say I got no direct message

    See hidden parts of London and use your brain at the same time!
    My husband and I, and 4 adult children, played Moriarty’s game on a cold but bright Sunday afternoon. A fun afternoon exploring parts of beautiful London that we didn’t know existed and being challenged with puzzles and cryptic clues along the way. Would highly recommend.

    Great time solving clues and seeing unique places
    First time doing something like this at it was brilliant. We did the moriarty game around Marylebone. Great clues that challenged you but not hard either so didn't get frustrated. Saw some amazing things not seen before and places we stopped at were cool. Would highly recommend.

    Great experience, would recommend!
    Great experience, would strongly recommend. I did this game with my girlfriend as my birthday gift and it was such a fun experience! My only recommendation: bring headphones and play some spy music. I would personally recommend either the James Bond or Mission Impossible soundtracks!

    Phenomenal afternoon exploring London and solving puzzles
    This was such a fun way to see Marlyebone and Mayfair! My buddies and I are fans of quizzes and puzzles, and I’ve always dreamt about being on the Amazing Race. This was right up our alley and was the perfect combinations of our passions! Honestly, we’d probably have done this even if it was just two hours in a dimly lit conference room. But getting to do this while also exploring London on foot, discovering good food, and stopping for a few pints made it even better. A great off-the-beaten-path way to spend an afternoon in London!

    Excellent treasure hunt trail game
    Most fun I’ve had in ages. We whizzed around Kensington seeing things I’ve never noticed before, having fun and being silly! I loved it!

    Was really fun and am definitely going to try the other routes. Was lovely being able to experience different part of London and exploring streets and places we wouldn't normally go down! Really loved it and definitely worth it!

    Brilliant afternoon! Really cleverly done and a great way to explore new parts of London including some lovely pub spots along the way. The questions were pitched just right - fun and made you think but very doable. Would highly recommend!

We had the most fantastic time on the Hunt for the Cheshire Cat! We saw parts of London we've never seen, even having lived in London for a number of years. You even get discounts at pub stops along the way!

I would highly recommend doing a Treasure Hunt with Hidden City and we are now looking at which of the others we can do.

This is a brilliant day out and a great way to see London. Unlike other city treasure hunt games, you pay a little extra for the interactive element where you speak to members of staff at pubs, cafes and other venues who are all in on the game and give you clues to help you with the hunt. It feels really immersive and with a 3-4 hour duration, you feel like you get your money’s worth.

We played the Cheshire Cat game and the attention to detail in the game is brilliant. Without wanting to give too much away, you get to interact with a variety of characters, and there’s lots of touches which just add to the experience. We found it really immersive and really enjoyed it - there’s a fair bit of walking would be my only piece of advice so if it was raining it might not be quite so pleasant!

A colleague and I took part in the Hunt for The Cheshire cat as a trial before a larger group at work went on it. I was sort of dreading it, but to my surprise it was a very cool day out of the office. For tourists and residents I'd recommend it as a fun way to spend a few hours and made me fall in love with London again.

We had a great time on the Hunt for the Cheshire Cat game - everything was very professional and incredibly well thought out. The clues were challenging enough (for 2 adults and a 13 year old) but not too complicated so that it became frustrating. It was a nice touch to have to interact with people in shops and pubs etc, which made it even more fun. Saw lots of London that we haven't seen before which is always lovely. Would thoroughly recommend the games for groups/families with teenagers and will definitely go on another game in the future.

This is our third return to Hidden City and the enchanted mirror trail delivered as normal. I can’t rate these experiences enough and Hidden City’s customer support is second to none. We had some technical issues during our game and Vassily was so quick and helpful to get us back on track.

If you’re looking for a fun, quizzical experience to explore london then I highly recommend Hidden City!

Ps I hope you’re looking to do more games!

The game was such a great way to find the 'hidden gems' in the city and we now want to revisit certain spots, at our leisure, The 'hunt' was suitable for all ages and the participating 'stops' were all so friendly and obliging. Time for drinks and food is built into the programme, although I would suggest taking some snacks/water as well. Team work was the order of the day. I would suggest comfortable shoes, waterproofs and if there are children in the group, make sure that they enjoy walking!! Ours were amazing - the four year old did 15,000 steps!! A memorable day to celebrate 40th birthday of an Alice in Wonderland fan.

A great day out, very easy to organise and every happened as planned. We were a group of 6 and split into 2 teams of 3 that added an extra edge.

All the stops are well organised as nd the game lasted the right length of time for us.

Got to see parts of London we had never seen before ( no spoilers!).

Most important we all had great fun 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Saw lots of the London highlights and some hidden treasures. The clues follow a good storyline and while not too challenging are not too easy either. Scheduled breaks and discounts at certain bars are an added bonus. It took us ~3 hours including breaks, 1.5hrs excluding breaks.
