Hint Hunt- It's fun, It's Indoors and you really gotta use your brain!

Hint Hunt- It's fun, It's Indoors and you really gotta use your brain!

So its winter in Cape Town and we are trying to find activities to do that don’t involve the beach (because it’s cold) or eating and drinking (‘cos we don’t want to get fatty), so we decided to try out Hint Hunt at the Biscuit Mill in Woodstock.

We had heard about it from some friends- they didn't tell us too much about it so we really had no idea what to expect.

On arrival you get put into a small room and get your briefing from a video. So this is what we knew from the briefing- we would get put into a room (no idea how big) for 1 hour; the aim of the game- to solve clues and to escape the room in as little time as possible.

Groups can be between 3 and 5 people; I did it with my sister, my husband and a friend.  Thankfully we didn't fight (As we have been told the game can bring on some very heated (funny) family fights with all the excitement). There were however a lot of squeals of excitement, triumph and panic- and we made it out of the room with 2 minutes to spare.

The cost ranges depending on group size but is around R135 per person. Book online ahead of tine at www.hinthunt.co.za and arrive 15 minutes early.

This is the most fun we've had (away from wine) in a long time and I would recommend it to anyone from families to company team building activities. 

I can’t wait for the new ‘Asian Room’ that they are busy putting together!

Remember. .. Communicate. Look around. Listen. Don’t over-think it.
