HH BLOG

Before this precious summer is completely gone … we’d like offer a 15% refund for all of our returning guests who manage to bring an extra group of friends to try HintHunt for the first time!

Here is how it works: if you book a game for our new Zen room before the 31 August & bring another team of friends for the good old John Monroe’s room, you’ll get a 15% refund from your Zen order. All you need to do is ask your first timer friends to send us your name as a reference!

Enjoy! 15 days to go!

We’ve had a pretty busy month here at the new HintHunt HQ – with moving, expanding and certainly with lots of fun around playing HH! After a couple of long days and even longer nights we’re delighted to announce that our new place is open for all the curious friends, colleagues & family members who didn’t have a chance to try HintHunt so far!

Please have a look at the fresh booking section, which is updated with new schedules & availability. Here is the quick status for the 3 game rooms we have at the moment:

• For our original 1st game room we’ve had a Groupon deal this spring. This deal expires on 4th September & before that date all of the available slots are fully booked by now. Unfortunately our agreement doesn’t allow to extend the deal in time or space, so we’d like to kindly ask you to ask for a refund via Groupon if you didn’t manage to book your game by now. Thanks for your understanding!
• For first time HintHunters without a Groupon voucher: our 2nd room can be a good start – it still has free slots, even for August, please have a look at the available times & make your reservation before it’s not too late!
• For returning guests: our 3rd room might bring some good news – it is opening on the 27th August & already open for bookings right now!

Games can be booked online at least 24 hours in advance. If you’d like to enquire about drop-in possibilities within the actual day, or considering buying a gift voucher, please contact us on the bottom of the page!

Starting from 1st August we are gradually rolling out several changes around HintHunt. First up, the big one: we’ve moved to a shiny new address (which is actually very close to the old one). From now on the closest station is Euston, but no worries, the good old Kings Cross / St. Pancras is still a stone’s throw away. Or even closer if you can throw well. We’ll notify everyone who’s already booked with us & may not know about the new place.

HintHunt’s started its real operations barely a month ago and … since then every day we are speechless about your enthusiasm and energy that awakes during the game. And while your reaction is simply amazing to witness, the river of great feedback also verifies & fuels our plans of building a brighter, bigger HintHunt future. We’d like to say thanks for your honest & great initial response, it’s your experience that makes us keep going!

“Imagine a murder mystery evening. Now strip out the amateur dramatics, confine it to a small space and set a time limit of 60 minutes to solve it. This is HintHunt.“

“Although it wasn’t what I first expected, it was so much fun and I hope that more are made (it’d be a bit pointless doing the same one again). The hour flew by and we were frustratingly close to completing it – once our hour was up, the gamemaster showed us what we had left to do and, unsurprisingly, we were all kicking ourselves.”

Thanks Amiee! We’ll definitely let you know when we open a new HH unit! : )

There is one thing we have to admit: getting out of HintHunt really IS a challenge. There are, however, some heroes who manage to do it just in time. Those who collaborate well and aren’t afraid to use their creativity and imagination … well those are the ones, who have a chance. Here are our first heroes, big thumbs up to them for solving the difficult puzzles! Nice job!
