Customer Testimonial
We had a great time doing the game. I hosted the evening. I thought everything you provided was excellent. I had a good idea of what to do and how to do it with the information provided. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were so involved we did not take any photos sadly. It was the 80s theme and everyone dressed up which was great and really helped create the atmosphere. The clues were challenging without giving everything away and the team has already asked if we can do another one sometime. Thank you, we will order from you again in the future. Merrin Jack
