Top 10 Fun Activities & Games in New City / Taksim, Turkey
The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

A group of 5 of us had an absolutely excellent experience at Quest this weekend. We all thought that Quest was one of the most fun days out we've had in a long time, with superb attention to detail, a really immersive environment and some ingenious plot-led puzzle devices. Two of our group are escape room afficionados, and three of us were first-timers, and Quest captured the attention and the imagination of everyone equally. The creativity and consistency of the different puzzles was great, and it truly felt you had to work as a team, with everyone able to contribute. For non-Turkish-speaking travellers, please note that the website says that the English version of their game is not available for booking yet, but that information is out of date. If you email them directly, you'll find the team are very helpful and happy to make a booking for you. You'll not be disappointed. I think their plan is to open a second escape game in the same apartment block, on the floor below, and I will be banging the door down for them to let me have a go once it's set up; ironically trying to get in rather than get out of the room!

We took on the challenge together with a very smart friend of mine. It wasn't my first escape room experience so I knew about what should I focus on. We completed it without taking any clues. We loved the design and thoughts behind the puzzles of this game so much that after finishing the game we wanted to try more escape rooms as soon as possible. We talked about it later and we both had multiple favorite puzzles which were pretty fun to solve, I guarantee you it will surprise you with at least a couple of them. If you have time and you like that sweet dopamine rush from solving puzzles, I highly recommend you to give this one a try.
