Reviews

Playing Will breaker was such a fantastic experience - the game led me through some amazing hidden spots and made me see Manchester in a way I never would have on my own. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to experience the city!

The team really enjoyed the hunt! Great clues, a great way to see parts of the city we hadn’t seen and we had people who travelled from other cities who enjoyed it too.
