We had a great time doing this tour. It didn’t feel like we walked very far (kids didn’t moan about it!) but we saw lots of interesting things we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Very easy to follow directions and the clues weren’t too difficult so we could all join in.

Fun, brain stimulating way to visit Christchurch
We did this tour to make our visit to Christchurch somewhat "guided", and this tour did a great job. We got to interesting places we would've skipped if they weren't in the puzzles. The "Shadow of the Prism" is very well put together, with good, challenging puzzles, a nice plot and fine but kinda predictable characters. It is quite a lot to read though and the tour doesn't really take you the main city centre. Anyway, whether you are a tourist or you want another perspective on a city you already knowl, this is a must-do to enjoy half a day!
