We played The Great Game with approximately 30 people split in 5 teams. People loved it ! It was a great way to enable the non-Londoners among us (an overwhelming majority) to discover the city. Quest... See more

Amazing Evening

Purchased this as a gift for my dad's birthday, wasn’t expecting to have so much fun! We’re big into playing games as a family and have played everything under the sun, but this was something completely new! I ordered it again so I can play with friends, as no doubt we’ll have a blast. Looking forward to seeing what else these guys make, I will be buying the second edition one soon, great to have in the house as the darker nights are starting to come in.

Explore Aberdeens Dodgiest Areas

We felt the Aberdeen pack brought us through some very dodgy areas. I'm glad we didn't start any later as it certainly wouldn't have been safe. It brought us through some areas that were sort of interesting but wasn't worth the direction they brought us. It also felt like they gave up on by the end giving us very poor instructions and long stretches of just walking. Glad we were familiar with Aberdeen otherwise could have got lost.

Hi Euan,

Thanks for your honest review. The Aberdeen hunt was written a while ago, although it has been updated fairly recently. I can most definitely look into how I can get that route altered a bit more. :)

I'd love to pick your brain (quickly) about what areas we should focus on visiting in Aberdeen and get some more feedback on how we can improve it. I'm from Wales so don't know Aberdeen the way you do. :)

Can you give me an email to bryn@ggtreasurehunts.com? And give me your address and I'll send you over a free gift for your time.

Warmest regards

Bryn

A good activity for a mixed group

A good activity for a mixed group - kept us entertained for several hours. However, I expected more history of Richmond as we walked past lots of interesting looking buildings but there was nothing in the pack to tell us about them. We were also disappointed with the treasure pub as we were expecting something really special, tucked away down a side street. We chose not to use our voucher and went to a nicer venue instead.

Great Hampstead Heath Adventure

It was so much fun-quite challenging-so we definitely had to think. There were 12 of us-originally was going to be 2 teams-but we decided more fun to enjoy Hampstead Heath than race through it. It was a great way to spend 2 1/2 hours with people who like a challenge!

4 hours quality family time for…

4 hours quality family time for £15....what's not to like!

Challenging and creative. How can so much fun be had with just a piece of paper?

Only improvement I would suggest is that there was a QR code link straight to final password page as it's a long URL

Thank you we had fun!

An awesome present!

We were gifted a puzmat for my wife’s birthday. We both love puzzles and quizzes, so this was perfect for us! We enjoyed the fact you do not need to do it in one go, and the range of puzzles used. We will definitely be getting other ones :)

Unhappy customer …

Product arrived promptly however incorrect maps were supplied. We tried to complete the hunt but lack of map references left us frustrated and spoilt the enjoyment of the afternoon. I have emailed twice but not received a response. Due to this I would not recommend this company, they have not supplied what was required and what I paid for.

Hi Lindsay,

Thanks for your review. I believe we spoke via email and sorted this out. I sent the correct materials and a bonus game as an apology.

I believe it was a little packing error that meant you got the wrong map. In the event that some emails don't get through (i didn't receive anything) I always recommend calling or what's apping me on 07921074218. 😁

Let me know what you think of the bonus game I sent and hopefully we can win back your custom and get 5*! 😊

Warmest regards

Alan Turing Manchester game

We did the Alan Turing Manchester game. We found the directions a little difficult and got lost despite knowing Manchester quite well. We enjoyed the game but disappointed it wasn't truly Alan Turing related ie not that much info about him (and the info was written in very small light coloured writing- hard to read)
However we did finish it and enjoyed the reward and the puzzles at the end. A nice idea

Puzzles were amazing! Prize lame

I have always loved creating and participating in scavenger hunts and such. This was really well done. My only complaint is that the prize is super lame. 20% off more puzmats?! This was a gift for my step daughter and she was super excited and then really let down. Even something small and cheap would be good enough. Even I didn’t want the 20% cause I already bought some for friends and the second Puzmat as well. Activities themselves, again though were really well orchestrated. Tough to do and you did it well!

Hi Quillcrew!

Thanks for this great review. We are working on getting some proper prizes but as a small company it is quite hard to partner with bigger companies to get the deals. We do now offer a printable certificate that you can have but I understand something more substantial would be better. We're working on it! 😊

Do check out our newest Puzmats and the brand new one out in a few months.... Puzmat Enigma....!

Warmest regards

A*** family puzzle fun!

This company is only the best thing I discovered during lockdown and has still stayed relevant! As a family, we absolutely love spending hours on these puzzles. The rapid googling, the wonky line drawing, the misinterpretations are all part of the fun. We love the way that you can check your answers as you go along, very systematic!

We loved the puzzles

We loved the puzzles, and thought it was great fun and a good laugh!! We had a great time and thought the puzzles were just the right amount of difficulty.
Thanks 😃

Highly recommended ‘date night’ gift

We received a puzmat as a wedding gift and finally got around to it on our first wedding anniversary! I’m sorry we waited so long, we had so much fun, started thinking it would be easy as the first few clues help you along the way, but we were challenged and loved having to hunt out household items and our long ignored atlas! A great night in for 2.
