Baker Street Mystery Walking Adventure

Take on an urgent case with Holmes & Watson, following a trail of clues & directions sent to your mobile phone. Become a consulting detective for a few hours & hone your skills in observation, interrogation & logical reasoning. Learn trade secrets from a master of deduction. Piece the puzzle together to help save an innocent man. Follow a trail of clues that leads to intrigue, suspicion & accusation. Put on your metaphorical cape & deerstalker: there’s no time to lose!
This 2+ hour adventure through crime is a journey, not a race. There are endless opportunities to stop for breaks & refreshments or to explore places of interest. The route is chosen for its charm, 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 and a keen eye.

* Starts & Ends: Baker St Tube
* Distance: 5km
* For adults & teens interested in crime-solving (& walking)
