The instructions are poorly written. In the first clue you have to cross a busy road unnecessarily. Also you cannot complete the 4th challenge without entering the castle grounds for which there is an entrance fee and is not available at night. The ‘chat’ help was not very helpful at all and we were unable to get to a refund due to being unable to complete the game. It is recommended that the game is played at night, yet the castle closes at 5PM. We are really disappointed as we really enjoy these sorts of games in general as a different way of exploring the city.

Better tours and games are available. The clues were easy enough to start with but became convoluted. There was also an anorak of a name that has the letter ‘z’ in it but none of the words in the clue had a ‘z’! So we gave up and didn’t bother finishing. Don’t waste your money!

It was interesting to find some things that we wouldn't necessarily have found. Some of the clues were too tricky to decipher.

So much fun at night. I would love to do it again with my 15 year old daughter. Well designed map and puzzles

Did this with our family of teenagers. It kept us all amused and educated for the afternoon. If you are thinking of buying this, I would note that:
A. It isn’t time limited- you can buy now and use anytime.
B. You don’t need to book in anyone who doesn’t have a smartphone (and I would note that it didn’t work on my youngest son’s iPhone 8).

Not very clear instructions at times. One of the clues is on the castle! Which is not open 24hours like the game! Thankfully a security man assisted us otherwise we would have not been able to carry it on.

Great and fun way to explore and learn about Edinburgh at dusk !
Prefer to do it when it's not too dark otherwise some puzzles will be much more challenging to do as you need to have a close look at some environmental elements.
