So fun and energizing !

We played The Great Game with approximately 30 people split in 5 teams. People loved it ! It was a great way to enable the non-Londoners among us (an overwhelming majority) to discover the city. Questions were very diverse, giving everyone a chance to contribute. Being able to monitor other teams' progress on the app got teams to bond and compète against others - but in a very healthy and fun-filled way ! Gathering all together at a pub in the end also worked really well - spirits were high even though energy was getting a little low after 2h of scouring the city ! A great expérience all around, that will remain one of the highlights of our work retreat. Highly recommend !

Thank you Bryn - had a great time!

Bryn organised a 'treasure hunt' style experience for us in Bristol for my birthday. We did it in two teams of 4 with pub meet ups along the way. Half way through the afternoon it started pouring with rain, not just a drizzle but water gushing down the streets kind of downpour. Bryn and his business partner seamlessly transitioned the event to challenges we could do in the pub. We had a great time and it was a cool way to see and learn more about the city. Well worth it for £25 a head.

A great team day out!

We had a team day out around St Albans using their interactive treasure hunt. It was great, everyone had a really good time solving the clues, the highlight was the photo challenges. We all had lots of fun completing them and laughing at them afterwards. I’d recommend to other teams looking for a memorable day out.

Poor flow

Poor flow, lots of routes blocked with building works, view point totally overgrown and no view, left and right and east and west are back to front when you look at the answers. Very hard work would not recommend Nottingham until it is updated!

Very disappointed with the game

Very disappointed with the game. Having previously played a game in Nottingham, which was brilliant. I thought this would be something fun we could all do together.
Firstly it took ages for delivery. The first clue was non existent. Another clue was impossible to solve too, it definitely needs updating.

Best team building event

We did this as a wellness/team building event at work. It was one of the best team building events I have done. So much fun and laughter had by us all. The hosts were amazing and gave us extra challenges to gain points. I wpuld highly recommend this.

After work Team Bonding Fun

We (9 of us) completed the Treasure Hunt in Bath as two teams. It was a Leaving Do, and everyone enjoyed it! It acted like a Team Building exercise because we had to complete challenges and get around the Treasure Hunt by answering Questions. We had technical difficulties but, Bryn was on hand to help immediately.
We all said we would recommend it because some people saw parts of Bath the never have seen. We all enjoyed the fun facts and we all had so much fun.

Brilliant indoor fun !!

Wonderful way to spend a few hours on a winter evening or rainy day for up to perhaps four adults/ older children. We played with two adults, it was genuinely great fun...use once game but entirely sustainable with not an atom of plastic. Bravo! We ordered some more for family holidays .

I love these puzzlemats

I love these puzzlemats so was pleased to see the new case file version.
I think its the best so far. It's hard but not too hard.
We've been working on it over a few evenings so its really good value.

Reply from The Great Game + Puzmat

Hi Antony,

Thanks for your review. It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed playing Pu2mat and Puzmat Casefiles!

Puzmat 1 is still our best selling and the fan favourite of many. There aren't any number mistakes in it that I'm aware of. I'd love to hear your thoughts in more detail, if you could email me bryn@ggtreasurehunts.com I can make some changes to it to make it clearer.

Looking forward to hearing from you 😊

Warmest regards

Bryn and the team.

Novel Birthday Surprise

I organised this as a surprise birthday present for my wife. We did the Bloomsbury Treasure Hunt and had a great time exploring the area, discovering places we would come back to visit.
The clues were fine, some more challenging than others. It took us longer than the suggested 3 hours, so in the end we were just wanting to get to the pub to order some food.

great fun

This was a fun activity to do on New Year’s Eve, drunk or sober! It didn’t take too long but we started it 1 year and it took us until the next to finish. However we knew we had done something wrong when we couldn’t get the door back on the hinges. We will definitely be exploring another.

Xmas puzzle fun

We had a Xmas team day today and spent the afternoon enjoying the circus puzzmat. There was lots of laughter, some healthy competition and head scratching. Would definitely recommend- there was something for everyone general knowledge, word games and number puzzles.

AMAZING!!!

Wow what an experience. First time using this company and could not fault our experience. had great communication in preparing the game ready for a team of 30+ staff! And had constant support on the day we played the game. The whole team have had nothing but amazing feedback they want to do it again already!! and a team of woman, sometimes it can be hard to please everyone but we really had such a good laugh!! will definitely use this company again. The silver package was such good value for money and i was very pleased with what we got. the picture challenges are the funniest!
