What clients say about the Pub Explorer Team Building Activity?

Worked with the ZING team on a GPS team building treasure hunt in London. Incredibly professional and helpful in set up and delivery. Mixed range of ages and fitness but worked very well for all. Reasonable price. Easy to execute even for technophobes!! - Great event all round and will certainly use again.
