The experience

About this quest

Join us on a walk through 1891 Diss with our hero Edward. 

Learn about life in Diss in the 19th Century, the sights, characters, and industries that have helped to create the town we love today. 

We will need to race against the clock, solving puzzles to progress to the next step.

Time is of the essence, as Edward is becoming increasingly weak due to his influenza. We need to catch up with Rose before influenza - and some bizarre remedies - catch up with us!

Let's go.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with school-age children and couples curious about local history can follow Edward through 1891 Diss, solving puzzles at places such as St Mary's Church, the Corn Hall and Gostlings Chemist as he races to catch up with Rose before his influenza wins. It is a short town-centre walk of about 1 km, taking around 80 minutes. Anyone hoping for a live guide to quiz, or a longer walk, should choose something else.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • This tour takes us from the Mere right into the heart of the Diss Heritage Triangle.

  • We will learn the secrets of the six-acre lake, meander up Mere Street, and be surprised by the goings-on as we peep beyond the modern facades into the past of Diss's historic buildings.

  • We will also pass a former police cell - bet you didn't know it was there.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an app for a self-guided walk around Diss?
Yes. This quest is played on your phone. The app leads you around the Heritage Triangle from Diss Park to Diss Market, tells the story of each place in 1891 and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. It is free to play.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at Diss Park and finishes at Diss Market, so it does not return to the start. Along the way you pass 12 stops, including Mere's Mouth, the Market Place, St Mary's Church, the Saracen's Head, the Corn Hall and the Tudor House, covering about 1 km.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take around 80 minutes, including walking and solving the puzzles. You can start whenever you like, pause partway through for a break and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for children?
It is tagged family friendly and suits school-age children who enjoy a story and spotting details around them to solve puzzles. The plot involves Edward's influenza and some bizarre Victorian remedies, so younger children may need an adult to help with the clues.
Do we need to book a time or join a group?
No. There is no booking, no guide and no group to join. It is free to play, so you can set off from Diss Park at any time with family or friends and work through the puzzles together.
