Three kinds of quest

True, told, or against the clock.

Tours

"Just show me around"

Everything shown. Nothing required.

True stories. The history of a canal that is no longer there, told on its bridges. You see the whole route, every stop and the time before you set off.

  • ALL TRUE
  • OPTIONAL STOPS
  • ANY PACE
Tales

"Tell me a story"

A story laid over your street.

Fiction on real places. A ghost story with the street as its set: real doors, benches and alleys, and acted audio in your ears.

  • TRUE PLACES
  • FICTION
  • ACTED AUDIO
Hunts

"Make me earn it"

Solve it to see where next.

Mysteries with a clock. Only the start is shown. Solve the puzzle at each stop to unlock the next, a hint costs you minutes, and finishing earns a numbered card.

  • CLUES
  • PUZZLES
  • TIMED

Press start

The city is the level.

  1. Download it

    The whole quest comes down to your phone before you leave, so it plays with no signal.

  2. Headphones on

    Go to the first stop. The story plays in your ears, standing exactly where it happened.

  3. Play on the way

    Read a clue out loud, scan a blank page, get into a phone that is not yours, look a century back.

  4. Keep the card

    Finish and a holographic card goes into your collection. Tilt your phone and it shimmers.
