Story
Description
A playful experience to discover the secrets of Victorian London, a mystery walk similar to an escape room but outdoors! You'll play a detective who's in pursuit or a mysterious stranger - is he victim or villain, you'll follow the clues and make your choices that'll alter the story.
Your team will receive clues on their phones that, once deciphered, will guide them around a route that showcases it's secret sights and great pubs/bars/cafes. The routes are all walking distance and clues get you working together and interacting with the city surroundings to find the answers, no prior knowledge required.
With recommended refreshment stops at top-rated pubs/cafes/bars that you can choose to indulge and refresh along the way. There are three stops on this route;
- Half way; historic pub stop in Mayfair, 20% off food & drink - code sent on arrival.
- Two thirds; wood-panelled, old-style tavern themed around explorer Phileus Fogg.
- Finish location; historic bustling market with pub, cafe and eatery choices.

Is he a victim or a villain? It's up to you to find out. Take on the role of a Dickensian detective, as you try to uncover the truth!
Play as either the good-natured Pip or the dastardly Sikes as you chase the stranger through the city.
