Highlights
  • Guildhall Yard - YOU CANNOT ACCESS YOUR GAMECODE VIA THE TRIPADVISOR ’TICKET’ LINK. IT WILL BE GENERATED MANUALLY AND SENT TO YOU BY TEXT. You don’t need a time slot: turn up and play any day, any time during daylight hours. All you need is a mobile phone with a UK number. Get an e-SIM with a UK number for as little as £5 (eg from Lycamobile). The game is for adults or teens with an interest in history, puzzles & walking.

This is an adventure walk, not a race, so move at your own pace & stop at any time for a drink or a rest or to explore a place of interest en route. Play on your own terms: don’t feel you have to hurry or solve every clue. Use Google maps or text HELP, HINT or SKIP to speed up the game.

There is one minor step-free detour. The route is 7km. Its starts/ends in Guildhall Yard.

Activate your gamecode, choose a team name, join team members then text BEGIN to start your game. You will then receive a reply which sets the scene & tells you what to do next. You will receive cryptic directions to the next location using mainly anagrams & visual landmarks; there will be clues to solve; and all your answers will build towards a final solution to be revealed at the end of the game.

What's Included
  • Unique combination of history, mystery, and adventure
What's Not Included
  • Network charges for SMS/texts sent/received to/from your phone or (if relevant) any e-SIM purchase.
  • £5 - UK e-Sim
Additional Information

Uncover ancient mysteries hidden within the City of London & win the puzzling Freedom of the City! Follow a trail of clues & directions sent to your mobile phone that lead you through quiet lanes & backstreets. Visit the hidden gems & historic treasures that shaped its origins as a trading centre. Solve clues & conundrums that lead you a merry dance through history & tradition until, like in every City trade, it all comes down to one final number.

This 2+ hour adventure through time is a journey, not a race. There are endless opportunities to step off the trail for breaks & refreshments or explore points of interest at your leisure. The route is chosen for its beauty, relative quiet & historical interest. Our directions are playfully disguised but not hard to follow. Our clues are artfully contrived but always staring you in the face. All you need is your phone & our number.

  • Starts & Ends: Guildhall Yard
  • Distance: 7km
  • For adults & teens interested in history, puzzles & walking
  • Anyone can play ideally using a UK mobile phone to avoid possible delays in text transmission via overseas operators - you can buy a UK e-SIM

Great day out for the family - What a good day out. Really good value way of entertaining the family in central London. Go at your own pace, stop for food or drinks wherever you want and lots of fascinating history to find out about. Thoroughly recommend.
