Good fun for 5 adults and a dog, something for everyone!

Despite my leaving the ordering a bit late, the info pack arrived promptly in time for our birthday weekend celebrations. We didn't think it would take the indicated three hours being good quizzers and walkers, bit it took exactly 3 hours. The weather was superb and we had a lovely time discovering new bits around Richmond Park. The clues were a mix of difficult and easy and we had to make a few guesses, some of which were wrong and we had to backtrack. It was entertaining and everyone had a good time, thank you! Would recommend for grownups / teenagers. Great walking was included and I particularly loved the views looking down on the Thames, a view I'd wanted to see for ages!

Fun day celebrating Chris’ 50th Birthday

Thank you to Bryn for making Chris’ 50th Birthday celebration so much fun !
Bryn organised a pub crawl hunt around the Oxford Street area for 8 of us. This kept us busy for three hours, with questions, riddles, facts and Bryn included some personalised questions about Chris. Plus it was great we got to stop for a drink along the way to solve a riddle. Highly recommended and would definitely do this again.

Brilliant fun for an evening

Excellent idea. Kept my husband and I engaged for a while evening. We really enjoyed solving the different clues and some made us really think. Well written and easy to follow. We will definitely do another one

Bryn is a legend

Bryn is a legend. He made my birthday unforgettable with a challenging and exceptionally fun play time! It was super easy to organise a personalised treasure hunt for a group of 35 of us running wild around Hampstead Heath, and delightful thanks to Bryn's passion and expertise. I couldn't recommend it more!

Puzmat Enigma

My husband and I are in our 20s/30s and completed the Puzmat Enigma on New Years eve. This is the 3rd mat we have done and admire how clever they are! It took about the time suggested and made for a great night in without technology. If you think you're going wrong you can check your answers and the way it's broken down into colours makes it very easy to leave and come back to.

Fantastic family night

We planned to do this with friends but our 8 year old kept asking to do it with us, so we sat last weekend and did it as a family (2 adults, 1 x 8 year old) and we had a fantastic evening, we didn’t get it totally completed due to the little one being involved but we loved it and he thoroughly enjoyed being involved. Can’t wait to do the next one. A great way to spend a few hours either with friends or as a family fun night

Our 4th PUZMAT now complete

I think this is the 4th PUZMAT we have completed a a family. Great entertainment that gets everyone working together in the same room without a phone in sight( unless needed for solving a clue😂).
They have all taken about 4hrs to complete but the bonus is you don't have to do it all in the one go, or lay one we split and completed it over two nights. Definitely recommend ⭐️

This was our second Puzmat

This was our second Puzmat. We love that the writing is in all directions which organically gets everyone around the table involved. I am not sure we go for a third, although different clues it’s the same concept.

Sorry

Sorry. We found the instructions really confusing, the writing (very small and on coloured backgrounds) too difficult to read. Five adults persevered for a couple of hours but gave up.

We love playing games at Christmas and…

We love playing games at Christmas and were excited to try Puzmat Enigma as our first experience of the Puzmat suite of games. We were diligent and thorough and it took us about the prescribed amount of time, over two days to get to the Pink section. Unfortunately the enigma element didn’t work at all and the answers were gobbledegook. Don’t want to give away too much here but hugely disappointed

Hi Anthony,

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

Thanks for your review. Sorry Puzmat wasn't for you.

It's very unusual for us to get a review like this.

We would really appreciate some constructive feedback about the pink section to bryn@ggtreasurehunts.com.

Please email me and I'll send you out another one of your Puzmat collection for free to try out! 😊

Warmest regards

Engaging game for all ages and personalities

Played it as part of early Christmas celebrations. People were able to dip in and out of the game as they wished - or hang on to the bitter end depending on their personalities!! We had all ages from 7 to almost 70 joining in and really enjoying themselves. Great games for a varied group
