Highlights
  • Glasgow Central Station - Hello, traveller! It is time to start your journey because Glasgow has many restless mysteries for you to uncover! And which better way to start your quest other than from Glasgow Central - one of two principal rail terminals in Glasgow, that features an impressive glass roof and a classical Victorian architecture.
    If you are a dynamic person, that likes to be surrounded by people, then you reached the perfect spot as Glasgow Central is the busiest station from Scotland. Back in the old days, it was a centre of vaults, catacombs and had lots of disused platforms below the station. Wondering what was their purpose? Don't rush to take the train because we have a challenge for you to complete here! Take a look around you and find the missing clue.
  • The Lighthouse - Let yourself guided by the light and you will arrive at the Lighthouse of Glasgow. We are not referring to the famous movie with Robert Pattison, but to Scotland's Centre for Design and Architecture, which acts as a beacon for the creative industries in Scotland and promotes design and architecture through a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events.

Usually from the top of a lighthouse you can admire the beauty of the sea, but from this version you can gaze uninterruptedly over Glasgow's cityscape, spotting its most beautiful tourist attractions. Somewhere in the Lighthouse is a place that hides a not- very-light secret. Check your surroundings to find it and advance to the next checkpoint!

  • House of Frasers - Are you in the mood for some shopping? Then you must see the incredible, fashionable House of Frasers, a large UK department store. Starting as a small drapery store in Glasgow, founded by Hugh Fraser and James Arthur in 1849, it grew rapidly into a national chain after a few successful acquisitions.
    It caters for all tastes, even afterlife tastes! Take a look around you and answer the question to see if there are still ghosts wandering around for a good old shopping therapy!
  • Tron Theatre - Reaching the middle of your adventure, we hope you did not get frightened so far! You are headed now to the Tron Theatre - a major player in Glasgow's cultural scene for over twenty years. Initially a simple theatre club, it gave an outstanding performance and has grown into a thriving multi-faceted venue. From producing and presenting an eclectic collection of new writing, reinvigorated dance, comedy and music, the Tron Theatre literally stands on the throne, gaining the sympathy of the Glaswegian hearts!
    These being said, warm up your voice, prepare your moves and dance through the surroundings of the Tron Theatre, so you can rise to the challenge and advance further!
  • Merchant City - It's mid 1750s, you find yourself in the middle of a square, where residents trade with merchant “tobacco lords”, who prospered in shipping and selling, amongst other things, tobacco, sugar and tea. The place has a vibrant vibe and it could be no other than the Merchant City from the eastern part of Glasgow - the historic backbone of the city.
    Having enjoyed a renaissance in recent years, it is now full of cool bars, restaurants, boutiques and galleries. Nowadays, this area is hosting some of the most colourful festivals, ranging from street arts, dance to comedy and live music. But that's not all, you must also search for the unspoken truths of Merchant City! Look around you and find the answers!
  • Buchanan Street - Now let's make the most out of your visit to Buchanan Street! It is the city's main pedestrian boulevard lined with architectural gems and some of the city's finest shopping. This street was inaugurated in 1777, being named after this place's owner: the wealthy tobacco lord, Andrew Buchanan.
    Due to some unfortunate circumstances, he lost his propriety, but it turned out to become one of Glasgow's famous shopping districts with a generally upmarket range of shops, restaurants and street artists that create a lively atmosphere. As you walk across the street, you may come across some surprising facts upon answering the question!
  • City Chambers - Inaugurated by Queen Victoria in 1888, the focal point of George Square- the City Chambers of Glasgow is one of the city's most prestigious buildings. Upon entrance, you will be greeted by Queen Victoria herself, in the form of a statue locally known as Glasgow's own \

A good way to see and learn about Glasgow - Good fun, a mixture of questions, images and riddles so something for everyone. Also I learned a bit about Glasgow and some of its characters. We took around 2 and a half hours but had a lunch break in the middle however I reckon this can be done in around 90 minutes so not too long. An interesting and fun way to spend some time in Glasgow.

Has Potential - I have done "scavenger hunts" similar to this in other cities with there companies. This was not as polished. For the first clue, we put in the correct answer with street after it and it was counted incorrect. When we asked for the answer we did have it correct. This happened a few times, we got frustrated and stopped.

Not for me. - We got bored and didn’t finish it. We were hoping for some more ghost stories about locations. I would have liked to have been able to finish it just by clicking through but you cannot work it without locations on.

Ross family - We went to the ghosts of Glasgow with two young children and had problems with the app albeit had chat help available but they couldn’t do much. It took ages to get started and the two youngsters were getting very cold so had to tell the chat help assistant to make a note on his records as we were abandoning the tour without even getting starting. I asked if I could have a refund or credit voucher towards another trip so hopefully I will get this through soon.

Don’t waste your time. - We quit after 15 minutes. The clues were useless. And did not make any sense. This was a complete waste of time and money.
