Experience an unconventional journey into historical tales through a game full of adventure and puzzles. You and your team will utilize the supplied kit to decipher various enigmas, each guiding you to your next location and spicing up the journey with fascinating historical trivia about the characters you encounter until you reach the thrilling finale. Your game arsenal will be logical reasoning, deduction, and, importantly, walking.
Your gaming journey culminates at the city’s West End, with completion time being highly variable; while some groups wrap it up in less than 3 hours, others may take significantly more time. You will need a phone with internet connectivity since the host will maintain contact via WhatsApp, providing assistance when necessary, provided you reach out for it. Participation involves an agreement to return the kit at the designated end spot.
We accommodate teams of up to 7 members, although we believe a group size of 2-5 yields the best experience. Notably, children aged 12 and below are exempted from the ticket cost. The intricacy of the game suggests it may not be suitable for this age group, but parents can judge this best.
For those seeking a diverse gaming experience, consider our other offerings: The Pirate’s Riddle and Fantastic Creatures of Edinburgh, also available for reviews on TripAdvisor.

The games resemble those encountered in a puzzle room, but with a twist: you’ll navigate through the narrative of Arthur Conan Doyle’s era in Edinburgh, gleaning fascinating insights throughout the journey. Our treasure hunts distinguish themselves from the rest as we furnish participants with a physical pack, integrating objects with the city’s permanent aspects for gameplay. You’ll solely require your phone for reaching out to the game master for assistance if you encounter any difficulties. A brainchild of local tour guides with a love for gaming, this business is a labor of love, on a smaller scale.
