### 3/5 — Great trails, bad app

*2026-08-04*

Not being able to log in to the same account on multiple devices is a serious downside. There’s 9 of us but we have to keep passing the phone around so we can each see the directions, question and pictures because when someone logs in to the account on their phone, it instantly logs me out on mine.

### 1/5 — Lazy, flawed, glitchy and boring

*2026-05-04*

I’ve done many urban scavengers and find, when done well, can deepen the experience of a visit. This is not that. It’s so void of creativity that I suspect it’s AI generated.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-04-05*

Has this shut down? Used one in tenby and wanted to use it again for Easter but nothing works..

### 1/5 — Can’t connect trails and account

*2026-02-06*

The trails themselves are amazing but the company desperately needs a complete tech overhaul to ensure orders are easily linked up with one account and this app. At the moment it seems impossible to get everything in one place and often when buying a trail while logged in, I then haven’t been given a PIN so can’t register a trail at all. Without this the app might as well just be a zero functionality landing page for the website since that’s where it uselessly
bounces you off! A brilliant business is being let down by massive tech glitches. If they can’t get it right, they should scrap it and go back to being a paper only business because it would be less annoying than me constantly trying and failing to achieve something so simple!

### 3/5 — App inconsistent

*2025-08-31*

I’m so far 50/50 with the trails I’ve bought and them being available on the app. We really enjoy doing the trails and bought many but only recently stopped buying the books in the hope of using the app. I’ve since bought 4 trails and only two have been available on the app. Seen as they’re all the same price might as well return to buying the books. Shame because when it’s worked properly the app is great. The 3 stars represent the app NOT the trails themselves they’re 5*s easy.

### 1/5 — Spammers

*2025-08-27*

Don’t respect your preferences and send you unsolicited marketing emails. Avoid.

### 5/5 — Great way to follow the treasure trails

*2025-07-16*

Found using the app to follow the trail and record the answers a much easier way to do it than fiddling around with pen and paper when on the trail.  Worked perfectly and made the whole treasure trail much more fun! Great job.

### 4/5 — It was really fun!!

*2025-04-17*

Quite tiring but I really enjoyed it and it brought the family together using different strengths of everyone. Quite challenging and need to think out of the box!!!

### 4/5 — Always been a perfect activity - great to have it on a phone as well

*2024-04-02*

We’ve done the trails as a family for a while now. Love using the paper versions for the digital detox, but great to have it on the app as well

### 3/5 — Wish you Could Buy Trails Thru App

*2024-03-27*

I have just been gifted one trail by my employer and at first sight this looks a really good idea - especially as there is one for where I live - Abergavenny!  Sadly it’s pouring with rain today so using it will have to wait - it looks like the app is one usage only which if true is a bit of a shame - maybe next time I’ll buy the hard copy version.  Also the app doesn’t support purchasing which is a big surprise - you have to do this separately on their website which is tricky on a smaller phone.  I’ll update the review after my first go but excited!
