Great fun and thoroughly enjoyed it and a good way to see and learn about Chester.
Just some tips.
1) It does say in the 'blurb', but depending on how long it takes, it does drain the battery on your device and if you want to add people into into your team, they too have to download the app, so it's draining the battery on everyone's devices, so ensure that you have a powerbank and/or charger with you.
2) Also says in the 'blurb', you may need a pen and paper, which can be a bit fiddly when stood in the street trying to solve some of the puzzles. An alternative is to take a screenshot on your device and use edit mode.
Some of the challenges are harder than others, eg. trying to find something on a building may be able to be done by anybody (even children) but some of the others are a bit more complex.
3) Read the whole challenge rather than just scanning it and skipping to the end, as there are usually tips to help you find what you are looking for and where it is.
4) The 'team leader' has control of the app, so be sure to communicate as it can be bit frustrating if you're trying to read something in the app and the team leader then moves it on.
Having done Chester, we will probably do another and have already planned to 'gift' Quests to others for them to enjoy.
