Overall rating

4.4 / 5

Good opportunity to get to know the city, well-known sights and lesser-known places. Everything was within walking distance. The puzzles were all easy to solve and neither too difficult nor too easy. The only thing that isn't really clearly described is the discounts for the pubs, so unfortunately we haven't found out how that works.

We had a really fun couple of hours - the clues were just the right level of difficulty for me and my teenage daughter. We got them all without asking for clues but some took longer than others. We also saw parts of Brighton we hadn’t otherwise seen and learnt some fun facts along the way

A great way to see the sights and explore Brighton especially if you only have 1 or 2 days there. You can also use your ticket on certain bus routes too which was really handy. The drivers were all friendly and helpful, I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Brighton!

Really well thought out treasure hunt that helped us find places in Brighton that we wouldn’t have found ourselves.

It was an amazing experience, having a view of Brighton from a bus, Brighton is beautiful.
