If you're comparing app-based city games and mobile city quests, My City Hunt (mycityhunt.com) and Cluenaverse are two options that often come up. Here's a concise comparison.

What is My City Hunt?

My City Hunt is run by a German company (City Hunt GmbH) and offers mobile app experiences in many cities. You can choose from Scavenger Hunt, Murder Mystery Tour, Treasure Hunt, Escape Game and Xmas Adventure themes. The app guides you to each riddle spot, and at each stop a riddle or challenge awaits; players can also take on roles and receive challenges on their phones. Prices are typically around €12.99 per tour on the euro site (often shown with a discount from a higher list price; the UK site often lists London from about £11.99). They list 6,460+ cities worldwide (with strong coverage in German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, and also London and others). Experiences are redeemable 365 days a year; vouchers are valid for 3 years. Corporate team-building packages are available with virtual hosts, team chat and certificates.

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?

  • One clear mystery - If you want one coherent mystery to solve (rather than picking among scavenger, murder, treasure, escape themes), Cluenaverse is built around that.
  • Different tone and design - Cluenaverse offers a distinct format and narrative style compared with My City Hunt’s multi-theme approach.
  • Alternative - When comparing My City Hunt with other app-based city experiences, Cluenaverse is a strong alternative for a focused quest.

Bottom line

My City Hunt suits players who want multiple themes (scavenger, murder mystery, treasure, escape) in many cities at a low per-tour price. Cluenaverse suits teams who want a single, focused mobile city quest with a clear mystery in London. Choose by whether you want variety and global coverage (My City Hunt) or a dedicated mystery quest (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.
