York's Quirks & Snickets - City Exploration Game

Discover the secrets of the City of York in this immersive urban exploration game. Work together to solve location-based clues as you're led through unique and amazing places.
A playful experience to discover the secrets of York, a mystery walk similar to an escape room but outdoors!

Your team will receive clues on their phones that, once deciphered, will guide them around a route that showcases it's secret sights and great pubs/bars/cafes. The routes are all walking distance and clues get you working together and interacting with the city surroundings to find the answers, no prior knowledge required.

Discover fascinating and amusing facts about London's past and present as you weave your way through the city. Make the day your own as you solve clues and challenges as a team; with friends, family or colleagues. Get competitive - race to the finish and set a leader board time, or simply go at your own pace and soak it all in.

With recommended refreshment stops at top-rated pubs/cafes/bars that you can choose to indulge and refresh along the way. There are two stops on this route;
- Half way; Cosy and candle-lit, 2-storey bar serving artisan beers in 16th-century, half-timbered townhouse. Fantastic cafe option also available
- Finish location; Traditional pub with flock wallpaper, wooden boards and a fire, for cask ales and comfort food.
