Uncover ancient mysteries hidden within the City of London & win the puzzling Freedom of the City! Follow a puzzling trail of clues and directions sent to your mobile phone that lead you through the City’s quiet lanes and backstreets. Visit the hidden gems and historic treasures that shaped its origins as a trading centre. Solve clues and conundrums that lead you a merry dance through history and 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 and our number.
Starts & Ends: Guildhall Yard
Distance: 7km

What To Expect
You don’t need to book a time slot. Just turn up and play - any day, any time during daylight hours. All you need is a mobile phone with a UK number. You can get a UK number with an e-SIM (eg from Lycamobile).

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. You can always text HELP, HINT or SKIP if you want to get to the end faster.
Kids are welcome. There is one minor step-free detour on the route but you don’t miss anything. The route is 7km long and starts and finishes in Guildhall Yard.
