Hidden cities London treasure hunts

Just wondering if anyone has recent experience of these and would recommend? Heading into London in Easter hols with 2 ten year old girls. Been looking at the Cheshire cat hunt or the enchanted mirror trail.
My main concern is that it will either be too difficult or take too long and they'll get bored?

Also looked at the twist museum but it seems very expensive for what only takes 60-90 mins.

Not had experience of those, but the Treasuredays ones work well and are fun (treasuredays.com)

I did the Cheshire Cat one and I'm in my 40's and was bored by half way! Friends enjoyed it more but it just seemed to go on forever tbh

Weirdly we have done one today! It was the Moriarty game one. We were a group of six adults and found it fairly straightforward. We found the areas we walked through really interesting and I’m guessing the ones you are thinking of are maybe more child friendly. We found the clues made sense and weren’t too cryptic. It took us a little over 90 mins for ours with no stops but they did have suggestions of drink stops if you wanted.

Interested in this thread?

I took my 12 year old to the Twist museum in the February half term. I would say an hour is about the most you would spend there. It was quite fun, but really a series of things to take Insta photos of.

Thanks. It's about £80 for 4 of us so that just seems a lot for an hour. They aren't at the insta stage yet either!

Ah that doesn't bode well. I was looking at that one or the enchanted mirror one.
Also, it says you have to pay per person but if you're only using one device would you get away with just paying for one?! Because if so I might consider doing that and then abandoning it if they get fed up!

We've done lots of these over the UK including a few in London and my kids (8-16) really enjoy them
