It's great! We had such a fun when we did Explorial in Stratford upon Avon that we booked Oxford. And it did not disappoint!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
Great fun. Learnt a lot. Did the hunt on Easter Sunday which meant that the Bodleian library, covered market and many colleges were shut so we could not complete some of the hunt.
Dear Tishy,Thank you for your review and we hope to see you in other cities very soon. Have a lovely day!
