Great game with difficult but not impossible clues. Had a fun afternoon solving the puzzle and visiting some nice pubs too. Would definitely recommend
The game is well thought out with intriguing puzzles to solve that do not require specialist knowledge. The locations chosen to solve more time consuming problems were not necessarily ones a tourist or someone unfamiliar with the area would frequent, and therefore all the better for it. The actual gameplay itself is easy to understand and the use of WhatsApp quite intuitive.
Great way to explore the city of London while having fun.
We’ve done a few Hidden City experiences now, and this was our second time completing Moriarty’s Game. We weren’t expecting the clues and locations to be different, but that made it an even better afternoon — it felt completely fresh and just as much fun as the first time. I recommend Hidden City to people all the time. The whole setup is incredibly slick, from the way the clues are delivered to the venues you’re taken to and the people you interact with along the way. The clues are pitched perfectly: challenging enough to keep you fully engaged, but never so difficult that it stops being fun. The locations are always great, and the people involved are brilliant, funny and really add to the experience. It’s excellent value for money and such a clever, inventive way to explore the city.
Excellent murder mystery experience. Really enjoyable and great fun. Was also a lovely way to see parts of London that we hadn't seen before
We had done Enchanted Mirror previously and on the back of that experience booked Moriarty game. It was basically a walking tour with cryptic clues to guide you around whereas the previous tour we went into venues to find the answers and solved puzzles. The pubs were not as good as the ones on The Enchanted Mirror game
Hi Phil, I’m sorry to hear about your experience. We aim to create exceptional experiences for everyone, so it’s disappointing to hear Moriarty’s Game: The Professor’s Invitation didn’t hit the same mark for you as The Enchanted Mirror. Moriarty’s Game does include venue-based puzzle elements, but we appreciate that the balance of clues, puzzles and venue interactions felt different from what you were hoping for on the day. If you message us at www.inthehiddencity.com/contact-us, we’d like to make this right for you. Ellise
We started the game and at first it was very enjoyable, however not even half way through we replied to a clue and heard nothing back. We waited over an hour and half and still no reply. We also emailed the info email and the contact email and heard nothing. Very disappointed in our experience as we paid a lot of money just to get into London.
Hi Jessica, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. We aim to create exceptional experiences for everyone, and this is absolutely not how our games should play out. We experienced a technical outage that affected some games, and I can see you’ve since been in touch with our support team. We’ve issued a refund and provided vouchers so you can come back and play again on us. Thank you for giving us the chance to make this right. Ellise
Very good experience, fun games and puzzles to solve, gets you to know places of London you may not know before. Recommended!
Amazing would highly recommend fun afternoon out in London
Great fun, good props and clues, challenging but achievable and a nice little prize at the end. Bar staff were on board in a good way and really enjoyed exploring Mayfair and beyond.
