    Interesting

    Good set up, clues were good. Nice area and places we would of never have known to go to. Got the kids involved. Definitely need to look around you

    Response from the operator: Hi Sharlene. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Great to hear that you liked the clues and that you got the kids involved. All our Adventure Hunts are suitable for kids 8+ as you don't need any specific knowledge. You just need to look around you - as you pointed out :)

    Good experience!

    We were with young people aged 17 to 20. This game allowed us to discover the old town of Albufeira through its cultural aspects. We recommend it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that your group enjoyed our Adventure Hunt.

    How many days do you need in Albufeira?

    +
