Explore Manchester by smartphone treasure hunt, solving cryptic clues from Piccadilly to Chinatown at your own pace.

“Myself and a friend did the tour with our two 13 year olds, we are both from Manchester but don't get into the city very often and wanted to show our kids the sights. Everything we saw was new to me! We all really enjoyed it, was a shame the libraries weren't open to have a look inside, but the benefit of alot of places still being closed was the streets were so quiet you can take time to look up and appreciate all the architecture. Highly recommended.”

As regular York visitors we thought we knew the city well, oh no we were wrong we discovered places and sites we’d never noticed before, many places we’d walked passed and not even noticed. Most clues made you think but weren’t too difficult, we only got stuck on 1 clue and used the hints provided. You can either do the hunt in a couple of hours or like we did most of the day making lots of stops on the way for food and drink. If you’re visiting York give this ago it’s fun and gets you to see York in a way…”
