The high street hums and the River Exe nudges traffic lights into rhythm as teams fan out to chase clues across Exeter’s compact center. Phones buzz with riddles; stone facades and narrow lanes become checkpoints. Over two hours the game pushes groups to read the city at street level — shopfront details, plaques, and public art become the currency of points while a remote guide texts nudges and hints.

The high street hums and the River Exe nudges traffic lights into rhythm as teams fan out to chase clues across Exeter’s compact center. Phones buzz with riddles; stone facades and narrow lanes become checkpoints. Over two hours the game pushes groups to read the city at street level — shopfront details, plaques, and public art become the currency of points while a remote guide texts nudges and hints.
Exeter’s city core traces Roman and medieval layers: a Roman wall fragments the plan, while the cathedral and cobbled alleys recall medieval trade. Geology shapes the walkable grid — red sandstone and limestone dress the buildings — and the Exe’s floodplain defines the lower streets and bridges you’ll cross. Culturally it’s a university town with cafés, independent shops, and military and maritime echoes, so expect a mix of students and commuters as part of the backdrop.
Practically, the experience is an app-driven, private two-hour urban game with roughly 120 searchable objects across 13 categories and photo-based scoring. A remote guide supports teams by message and leaderboard updates track progress in real time. The route is largely flat on paved streets and suitable for most fitness levels — the challenge is mental and observational rather than physical. Bring a charged smartphone, comfortable shoes, and a small power bank; plan to start when shops are open if you want to use storefront details. The hunt rewards curiosity and quick decision-making: move briskly between clusters of clues, watch for traffic at busy crossings, and leave time to celebrate top scores at a café near the cathedral.
Yes — the activity is family-friendly and physically easy, but younger children may need help with the smartphone and puzzles.
You can continue with another device if available; otherwise contact the remote guide via the provided support number for potential options.
No — the hunt is designed for visitors and locals alike; clues guide you but local familiarity can help you move faster.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start; last-minute cancellations are non-refundable.
