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 get through the game faster.

A great way to see old London with new eyes - What a wonderful way to discover a secret London, hidign in plain sight! Enjoyable and educational in equal measure, with pubs, cafes and restaurants strategically located at key points along this walk, I spent a delightful three hours peeling away layers of a modern city to reveal a a dramatic medieval mystery. The game uses your phone to send you clues and messages as you progress along the trail, with a liberal does of really fascinating info on the Templars, the Grail, and the role London played in one of the greatest puzzles in history. I certainly see Braintree in Essex differently now! Put on some comfy shoes and treat yourself to a walk about a lovely part of London!

Fun, imaginative walking trail with clues, history and fascinating parts of London - A really imaginative mystery trail to find out where the Holy Grail might be hidden. The route takes you round some really interesting historic parts of London and you end up seeing places you might have walked past many times before and never noticed. You are also given bite-sized chunks of historical info which really helps bring the area to life, and it's amazing how the clues all seem to come together to point in a particular direction for the grail! Fantastic fun.
