Finding an activity that keeps everyone happy across the generations can be a puzzle in itself. But Mission Mad Hatter at Z-arts in Manchester proved a winning choice for our family group of 11.
Armed with two iPads, we explored the rooms, looking for logos to scan. Each discovery revealed clues to help us crack the code, giving us plenty to search for, discuss and work out together.
What impressed me most was how engaging it was for all ages. The children were absorbed in the hunt, and the adults were just as keen to unravel the clues. It became a shared family challenge, with everyone able to contribute.
The rooms were really well thought out, making the surroundings as much a part of the enjoyment as the puzzles themselves. There was a lovely sense of discovery as we explored and pieced things together.
A practical bonus was that the parking spaces we used were free of charge on the Saturday we visited—always welcome when organising a family outing.
All 11 of us loved it. For a family activity in Manchester that gets different generations exploring, thinking and having fun together, Mission Mad Hatter certainly gets our vote.
