We enjoyed the experience but wished there were clearer instructions on the handout at the start about the letters we needed to collect as we missed the first few as our kids were in charge of the phone. Also Google maps don't have the Fenton Street I-site marked at the moment so if you're a vistor to Rotorua you won't know where to start. Luckily we had been there in past years.
Was really fun to do, easy to navigate and informative. Loved the box of goodies to start.
We got off to a really bad start with this activity - no email instructions, as promised in the booking. We went to the start location as directed and they were unable to help. Company didn't answer their phone for over an hour. By then our kids were already over it. Kids 6 and 8 were too young. Poor service meant this wasn't worth the money.
Allow at least 2 hours to complete this assignment. Some of the clues need lateral thinking but having a teenager along helped me a lot. A fun way to learn about the history of the area and enjoying the diversity of volcanic activity, sculptures, architecture and flower beds that the Government Gardens holds.

What a great team builder!
We really enjoyed this experience. An incredibly well thought out game with wonderfully cryptic puzzles. We enjoyed learning a little history and solving puzzles along the way. We had 3 teams of 5 (15 people in total), and found it worked well as an amazing race style. I think a team of 3 or 4 would work better as some people perhaps weren't as involved in the solving of the clues as others. I would definitely recommend this activity to people.
