Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is Haunted Birmingham: Restless Souls about?
You arrive at New Street Station with a weird feeling—whispers, shadows, hidden halls. Spirits of workers long gone are trapped under the city, and you’ve got to solve clues, explore haunted landmarks, and find the hidden tomb of 1000+ bodies to set them free.
Is this good fun with kids?
Yes—with older kids. If they like ghost stories and aren’t too scared. Some parts are creepy atmosphere, not horror, so during daylight works best. Younger ones might prefer something lighter.
Could this work as a romantic evening walk?
Definitely. There’s something about dim lights, echoing streets, solving puzzles together—it brings you closer. It’s moody and intense in a good way, not just a walk.
Where does it start and how do I begin?
Start at New Street Station (Hill St Entrance). Just open the quest on the Questo app, pick this one, and go. No guide needed.
Can I do this solo or with a group?
For sure. Solo gives you that eerie personal vibe; with friends it’s more fun—sharing moments of surprise, discussing clues, maybe scaring each other a bit.
Is the puzzle stuff hard or frustrating?
They balance it—some are tricky, some obvious. The fun is in figuring them out together (or by yourself). If stuck, pause, enjoy the surroundings, come back to it.
