Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was our second year of playing these games.
This year we played The Pirate`s Riddle.
The quests are very well thought out and you get to see and understand more of parts of Edinburgh that could be missed just by normal sightseeing.
This game would probably suit around 4 or more players but it was just myself and my fiancée and we did need some pointers and extra clues,
Our game master was very quick to reply.
We look forward to playing another game next year.
We highly recommend these games

Organised this for my birthday. Split in 2 teams and had a great afternoon. A lot of work has gone into designing the hunt with very creative puzzles and props and a nice storyline.

Did this for a work team building event. Very well run, excellent puzzles and props. Great way to get people talking and working together in a fun environment. Very enjoyable, would thoroughly disagree.

It was really fun, quite challenging especially as there was only two of us, however we were able to get hints and had a really good day exploring the city. They also sent us some recommendations of where to go next once we had finished, which was really nice. Thank you!

This was a fantastic hunt! Suitable for our family (2 adults, 14 and 11 year olds) Very well organised, great to discover Edinburgh and very attentive host/helper. Would highly recommend.

Great fun, even for a bunch of complete newbies like us. We were right in thinking, though it was always about good observation skill. Definitely recommended - though good weather is a preferred companion.

I took 18 of us on the pirates riddle and it was excellent! Good level of difficulty with us all getting stuck at different points and a competitive tight finish! Would definitely recommend and would try the other games in the future. Easy to organise and great contact beforehand. Thanks Sabela!

What a fun activity to do, and a great way of exploring the city! We did the Sherlock Holmes challenge and it wasn’t easy but getting the right answers was quite rewarding.

This was our second treasure hunt (did Sherlock a year and a half ago). Loved it! Very lucky with the weather. Beautiful views. Tricky clues, but managed this one without any help. Would definitely recommend as a great way to see the city and have lots of fun!

The puzzles were the perfect amount of difficulty for us. We love escape rooms and we love puzzles. But it turns out there’s a lot more. You get to walk through a lot of the city and learn about Sherlock and Conan Doyle! We found lots of quirks about Edinburgh that we would have otherwise missed

Would love to have a go at this challenge but our group will be 4 adults , one 18 year old and one 15 year old. Is it possible for us to book the challenge given we have one youngster under 18? Thank you

Hi! Thanks for getting in touch. The game is perfectly ok for children. A little bit hard for the very young ones. But perfectly fine for teens! Thanks for getting in touch
