Über dieses Abenteuer

A Dracula mystery walk through Whitby, the harbour town where Bram Stoker set the Count's arrival in England. Play a Victorian reporter investigating a ship wrecked with its captain dead at the wheel and its crew missing.

Solve eight puzzles hidden in the real town, from carvings and plaques to the 199 Steps. Each one unlocks a true Whitby story and a piece of the captain's log. Around 90 minutes, self-guided, start any time.

Passt das zu euch?

Für wen es ist

Dracula fans and gothic-minded visitors, Goth Weekend crowds included, play a Victorian reporter tracing the Demeter shipwreck through eight puzzles, from the Swing Bridge to the 199 Steps. Couples, friends and families with older children get a free, self-paced hour instead of a fixed-time ghost walk. Anyone who cannot manage the climb up the 199 Steps to the Abbey, or wants a live guide to question, should pick another walk.

  • Start at Whitby Station, cross the Swing Bridge into the old town, and follow the trail past the Old Town Hall and along Church Street to Tate Hill Sands, where the ship struck.

  • Then climb the 199 Steps to St Mary's churchyard and finish facing Whitby Abbey, where the last page of the log names what came ashore.

Ein paar Antworten vor dem Start

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is the Dracula shipwreck walk in Whitby about?
Whitby is where Bram Stoker set the Count's arrival in England. You play a Victorian reporter investigating a ship wrecked with its captain dead at the wheel and its crew missing. Eight puzzles hidden in carvings, plaques and the 199 Steps each reveal a true Whitby story and a piece of the captain's log.
Where does the Dracula walk in Whitby start and finish?
It starts at Whitby Station and finishes at Whitby Abbey, so it does not return to the start. In between you pass the Swing Bridge, the Old Town Hall, the Dogs Trail on Church Street, Tate Hill Pier, the 199 Steps and St Mary's Church. The route is about 1.1 km.
How long does the walk take?
Most players take about an hour, including the walking and the eight puzzles. You can go at your own pace, linger at the harbour or St Mary's Church, and pause the game to pick it up again later.
Is it suitable for children?
The puzzles are rated medium difficulty and the story is a Victorian mystery about a dead captain and a missing crew, so it suits older children who enjoy puzzles and a bit of gothic atmosphere. The route also includes the climb up the 199 Steps.
Do we need to book a time or join a group?
No. It is free to play on your phone, with no group to join and no guide to meet. Start whenever you like at Whitby Station and play with whoever you are with, then pause and continue later if you need a break.
