Description

Head through Barbican and Spitalfields to the painted streets of one of London's most vibrant districts with this puzzle-filled hunt for Shoreditch. Learn how the area developed from an Elizabethan Theatre hub into a vital part of the city's textile industry; then discover the dark days during the blitz and the glorious rebirth that followed. The story of how these humble districts became a cornucopia of artistic, musical and culinary delights!

Expect to see vast and colourful murals, centuries-old cemetries where literary giants rest, the home of an infamous medieval ghost, the birthplace of fish and chips, one of London's oldest markets and a Banksy original. All this plus puzzles, challenges, great pubs and cafes and plenty of surprises. This interactive deep dive into the city's street art capital is the perfect way for enthusiasts and first time visitors alike to discover the secrets Shoreditch hides in plain sight.

How It Works

The route is walking distance and features optional breaks at great pubs, bars and cafes along the way. The clues require no prior knowledge and come with hints to make the experience something everyone can enjoy.

: Maybe. Depending on how busy the route is you might be on the tail of another group, overtaking or getting overtaken. It's a great way to meet other like minded adventurers on the way, don't forget to say hi to each other and get a bit competitive!
: For multiple teams you can start all at once or stagger start times by a couple of minutes - groups organically spread out and overtake throughout the activity. The fastest team may not be the winning group as there are time penalties for wrong answers, a fine balance!
