A piece of treasure - Loved following Captain Bess’ treasure hunt and reading all the snippets of history on the way. A fun and interactive activity to do with the ability to pause whenever needed. It’s the perfect blend of walking, cracking the clues and learning about the history of Newcastle.

Fun walk around Newcastle solving clues along the way - A great way to spend an afternoon in Newcastle. You get to see some of the nicest parts of the city, including Grey Street, the city walls and the quayside, and you learn a bit of the history and a few local stories along the way

More to see than you’d think! - Ah this was super great! Lived in Newcastle all our lives and looked at the city through new eyes! Started seeing stuff we’d not ever noticed before! Thank you!

Great experience - Great way to see the city. I was skeptical but it was very fun, interactive, and challenging without being too difficult. Highly recommend if you’re visiting

Great fun!! - A great experience & great fun. Gave us a chance to see our city from a different point of view. The app was great & the hints were helpful. We took our time & visit many (too many) bars but great fun. Saw things in Newcastle that we’d never notice me or seen before. Would definitely recommend!

Pirates Ahoy! Fun, interactive way to see Newcastle - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Newcastle! We would never have come across a lot of the sites we visited without having had done this tour. We were a group of friends who took delight in trying to figure out the cryptic clues as well as gaining interesting historical facts along the way. The game itself is easy to access and there is no time limit to complete so plenty of time to stop off along the way for drinks , food, and rest. We walked for quite a few hours but it didn't feel like it as we were enjoying seeing new things. Afterwards we got our score and it left us wanting to seek out similar tours in different cities. Don't hesitate to do this tour if you want a fun , unique and educational walking trip around Newcastle!

Family day out - We were looking for something different to do for my son’s birthday, and were so pleased we picked this as everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend.

Very disappointed. Waste of money. Got refund - Some clues flat out were wrong (sign at Blackfriars have clearly been updated). We found this to be very slow paced, frustrating and not worth a tenner never mind thirty quid. We abandoned it in frustration after 30 minutes. We are regular escape room goers and puzzle solvers but this was built around flawed logic at times and clues that had us walking around side streets wondering what we'd signed up for . Even with hints and answers provide some of the puzzles made no sense (the dog for example was not on any of the four display signs and Blackfriars). Anyway, I guess you might like this if you have the patience of a saint and low bar for what constitutes entertainment and value.

Missing chunks of directions - Big chunks of directions were missed out so we were looking for a Clock we were told would be by the Central Archade - completely the wrong area! We gave up after that as the directions were bad.

Terrible! - This was not at all well done, I found it extremely difficult to navigate, and I'm a tour guide.... Sorry, I organise this kind of thing in London, and this was distinctly sub standard.
