London Historical Mystery Adventure Experience

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
