If you're choosing between self-guided treasure hunts and mobile city quests, Go Quest Adventures (goquestadventures.com) and Cluenaverse are two strong options. Here's how they compare.

What is Go Quest Adventures?

Go Quest Adventures offers self-guided, puzzle-filled treasure hunts in UK cities. You download the app, choose a quest and follow the "Quest Master" as you unlock a hidden trail, find clues, solve puzzles and complete challenges - earning points and discovering the city’s secrets. You can go at your own pace or race for the leaderboard. Teams of 1-5 share one low price (often around £29; check site); there are no fixed groups to join, so you play when you like. The experience is dog friendly, and you get instant access (no printing). They run quests in many UK locations (around 29 cities, e.g. York, Edinburgh, Bath, Cardiff, Chester, Windsor, Glasgow, Cambridge) and offer group and custom quests for team building, hen parties and birthdays.

What is Cluenaverse?

Cluenaverse is a mobile city quest and outdoor mystery experience. You use your phone to follow the story, decode clues and explore the city with your team. It’s built around clear, well-paced mysteries for different group sizes and ages, focused on central London.

Why consider Cluenaverse?

  • Different narrative style - If you want a mystery/case to crack rather than a “Quest Master” treasure hunt, Cluenaverse is built around that.
  • London mystery focus - Cluenaverse is built around central London city quests rather than a multi-city UK treasure-hunt network.
  • Alternative - When comparing Go Quest with other outdoor puzzle experiences, Cluenaverse is a direct alternative with a different format and feel.

Bottom line

Go Quest Adventures is a strong choice for UK-based, self-guided treasure hunts with flexible timing, small teams and dog-friendly play. Cluenaverse is a strong alternative for an app-led city quest with a clear mystery in London. Choose by location, team size and whether you prefer a treasure-hunt format (Go Quest) or a mystery-quest format (Cluenaverse).

Cluenaverse is a mobile city quest and outdoor mystery experience. You follow a story, solve clues, and explore the city with your team. For a team, it is best if each player joins on their own phone. Our quests are self-guided. You play when you want, at your own pace, in central London.

Choose a quest, buy activation codes at checkout, then open the Cluenaverse app and redeem a code. Head to the start location with your team (2-6 players recommended). Each player should join the experience on their own phone. Follow the story - clues will guide you from location to location until you crack the case.

No. Cluenaverse quests are self-guided and flexible. Once you've bought a quest, you can start whenever it suits you (within the validity of your ticket). The app saves your progress if you want to pause and continue later.

Our quests are set in central London - areas like the South Bank, Westminster, Spitalfields, Bloomsbury, the City of London, and Covent Garden. Each quest has a different theme (murder mystery, spy thriller, literary mystery, and more) and a distinct route.

Most quests take between 2 and 3 hours if you move at a steady pace. You can take longer if you pause for food or drinks along the way. Duration is given on each quest page.

Quests are for colleagues, friends, families, and couples, in teams of 2 to 6. Age recommendations vary by quest - some are suitable for ages 10+, others for 12+ or 14+. Check the individual quest page for details.

Pricing is per quest location and is shown on each quest page when that location is for sale. You pay once for each activation code; your team of 2-6 typically shares one purchase (buy extra codes for larger groups).

Each player should bring a smartphone with the Cluenaverse app installed, plus comfortable shoes for walking and weather-appropriate clothing. No special equipment or prior knowledge of London is required.

Yes. A team gift voucher is one code for 2-6 players. You pay on the gift page, the code is emailed straight away, and it can be redeemed in the app from 1 March 2027. It is not tied to one quest yet. Unused codes can be refunded.

There is no time slot to cancel. Email the address in the footer and we will refund an activation code that has not been redeemed. A redeemed code is not refunded for a change of mind or the weather. If a fault on our side stops you finishing, we will refund or replace it. Details are in the Refunds and cancellation section of our Terms of Service.
