Scholars & Secrets Of Cambridge: Self-guided Puzzle Adventure

Poor directions, and when my iPad powered off I was not able to log in using my phone. Wasted an afternoon. Could get a refund either.

Wasn’t the best online walking game/ treasure hunt I’ve ever done. Was a bit dull to be honest, and only took you round a tiny part of Cambridge. Some of the clues we guessed without needing to go there. Black gates for example. One part required you to go back on yourself- Cambridge is big- do we really need to retrace steps? Was just a bit dull. We’d done one in London not so long ago and it was fab, so maybe I had high expectations.

Sadly we didn’t enjoy the experience - it’s one person on the phone as the other reads the instructions The instructions sadly aren’t to clear

Loved the concept and the implementation is great too, with easy to follow instructions. And great storytelling. Recommended!

Having been given the wrong directions by the game at the the gates of Trinity College. Was this due to Covid Lockdown maybe? Please respond if you'd like further details as it was spoilt at this point and so then we gave up on the game. Shame.

This was a great way to get to know Cambridge. The story was fun, the clues weren't too easy or too difficult and we stopped and had dinner in-between clues :) Definitely recommended for new places where available!

This game was so fun, educational and we would love to do it wherever we visit! It was the second day for us to explore the city when we tried this game and we thought we already know the city more or less. As soon as we started this game, we are more continuously looking out for Crests, Signs, buildings, and street’s name and it helped us to discover the perspective of the city that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Highly recommend it!

Great way to see a bit of Cambridge and learn some interesting facts. We couldn't access the game initially and I have to say the Customer Service is 100% , they sorted us out in minutes.

We enjoyed the Cambridge quest with 2 of our friends. We were looking for a social distancing activity that would teach us some facts about Cambridge, the Quest gave it a fun twist.

We have been put into tier 4, alongside Cambridge, and therefore was unable to go. In spite of me asking a refund (although to be perfectly fair this should have been given instinctively due to the current crisis we are in) they have failed to do so. I now keep receiving texts from them asking me to rate my experience, which non of us could have, even if we lived in Cambridge. All other places have refunded our money without prompting! Disappointing.

Good way to appreciate the buildings, clues a little scatalogical at times ( yellow and red arrows at Clare college pointing to the sky!?!) But good fun all the same and got our 15 year old engaged

My husband and I really enjoyed exploring Cambridge through this walking tour. We could go at our own pace, COVID safely and learned a lot about what we saw. Brilliant way to explore the city.

Fun but some of the clues aren’t there such as a statue was missing and many places shut due to COVID 😔 so some of the places like Kings College and other grounds could only be viewed from outside.

A really great opportunity of discovering the inner secrets of Cambridge, its campuses, and exploring the city while having fun with my family!! You won't just visit the city, you'll get engaged with it and really get to know it. I truly recommend Cambridge Quest to anyone willing to have fun and more than a simple trip!!

We took on the Cambridge quest with two teenage boys. Tough crowd! But they ended up loving it and even learning something about the history of Cambridge. We rode our bikes to keep the boys moving. All the clues were challenging. Would recommend for families or visitors:)

While I think it is a great idea and the background information and the plot were really intriguing there were some hiccups I had problems with. I only received a code after contacting the creators, so make sure you place your order early enough and don't be afraid to send them an extra message, if your code doesn't arrive in under 24 hours. Some of the riddles and instructions were a bit vague, probably centered towards people who are somewhat familiar with the town centre.

Don’t book Questo. I showed up and had planned a big evening with 6 friends. When we stood there to start the game the app didn’t work. I tried to call them and the guy refused to pick and rather wrote me he wants to write with me instead. Very unprofessional. Then he said because they had a Different event that night it wouldn’t work for us to play. Such unprofessional and bad company. Don’t support this

This is a really fun way to explore some of the landmarks in the city. The authors have put some effort into providing excellent background information on some historic aspects of the people or events covered in the questions for the quest. It is just a pity that those texts are only accessible at the relevant point in the quest and cannot be accessed once the next task is approached. We undertook this quest with a German exchange student, who would have loved to read all those little factoids at a later stage. As far as we experienced it, every aspect of the quest was wheelchair accessible.
