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!

A fun way to explore the city centre
As Christchurch locals looking for school holiday activities a mystery puzzle tour seemed like a great idea. And it was! The puzzles were challenging but not too difficult and it was a fun way to learn (kids) or be reminded of (adults) our history. The flexibility to complete the tour in our own time and on the day of our choice was really appreciated, it meant we could work around the unpredictable winter weather nicely.

A Fantastic Way to Explore Christchurch!
We had a really great time doing the Shadow of the Prism – Mystery Puzzle Tour. It was a fun way to get out and explore Christchurch while solving puzzles along the way. The clues were engaging, and the story kept us interested throughout the experience. Our only suggestion would be to add an optional audio narration of the clues and storyline, alongside the written text. It would make the experience even more immersive and accessible. Overall, a fantastic experience that we'd definitely recommend!

Hi Lou, thank you so much for your review and sharing your experience! Lovely to hear you had such a great time with the tour. And thank you for the suggestion on how we can improve it even further. It is a good suggestion and we will look into the possibility of giving Sir Edward and Hina real voices!

Awesome adventure
This game is very well created, using real life statues/ memorial sites to weave a very interesting story line. We had so much fun!
