Chasing the Beat: A Rock’n’Roll Quest Through London
Chasing the Beat: A Rock’n’Roll Quest Through London
Welcome to London, where the streets pulse with the echoes of rock legends and your bass guitar might just be your ticket to glory. Your favorite band, Gluckspeck, is looking for a new bass player - and they’ve chosen a very peculiar way to find one.
After one cryptic phone call, you’re thrown into a wild chase through the heart of the city, solving riddles, following clues, and uncovering hidden spots where music history was made.
This quest isn’t just a game - it’s a rhythm-fueled walk through iconic locations, a bonding adventure with friends, and a real-world mystery waiting to be played. Are you ready to chase the beat?
