- Guildhall Yard - YOU CANNOT ACCESS YOUR GAMECODE VIA THE TRIPADVISOR ’TICKET’ LINK. IT WILL BE GENERATED MANUALLY AND SENT TO YOU BY TEXT. You don’t need a time slot: turn up and play any day, any time during daylight hours. All you need is a mobile phone with a UK number. Get an e-SIM with a UK number for as little as £5 (eg from Lycamobile). The game is for adults or teens with an interest in history, puzzles & walking.
This is an adventure walk, not a race, so move at your own pace & stop at any time for a drink or a rest or to explore a place of interest en route. Play on your own terms: don’t feel you have to hurry or solve every clue. Use Google maps or text HELP, HINT or SKIP to speed up the game.
There is one minor step-free detour. The route is 7km. Its starts/ends in Guildhall Yard.
Activate your gamecode, choose a team name, join team members then text BEGIN to start your game. You will then receive a reply which sets the scene & tells you what to do next. You will receive cryptic directions to the next location using mainly anagrams & visual landmarks; there will be clues to solve; and all your answers will build towards a final solution to be revealed at the end of the game.
- Unique combination of history, mystery, and adventure
- Network charges for SMS/texts sent/received to/from your phone or (if relevant) any e-SIM purchase.

Uncover ancient mysteries hidden within the City of London & win the puzzling Freedom of the City! Follow a trail of clues & directions sent to your mobile phone that lead you through quiet lanes & backstreets. Visit the hidden gems & historic treasures that shaped its origins as a trading centre. Solve clues & conundrums that lead you a merry dance through history & tradition until, like in every City trade, it all comes down to one final number.
This 2+ hour adventure through time is a journey, not a race. There are endless opportunities to step off the trail for breaks & refreshments or explore points of interest at your leisure. The route is chosen for its beauty, 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 & our number.
