Très sympa mais difficile dans la nuit. Nous avons découvert beaucoup d’endroits où nous ne saurions sans doute pas allés. Ne convient pas aux personnes handicapées.

Preguntas frecuentes

I live in Edinburgh—how can I see my city with fresh eyes?

Try a story-driven quest. Even lifelong locals are surprised by hidden closes, forgotten legends, and details tucked behind the Royal Mile or Dean Village.

Are there unique ways for visitors to go beyond the usual castle and Royal Mile stroll?

Yes! Pick a quest that leads you through secret courtyards, haunted alleys, and old taverns where big historical moments happened but aren’t in standard guidebooks.

What’s something fun to do this weekend or on a free evening?

Grab a quest and start whenever you like—whether it’s a mystery around the Old Town or a treasure hunt across Calton Hill. Great for a last-minute plan.

Could a group of friends or coworkers turn this into a team challenge?

Absolutely. Split into teams, race the clock, or tackle the clues together. It works for birthdays, after-work fun, or just a different kind of night out.

Is there something special for couples looking for a different date idea?

Try an evening quest through the Old Town or Grassmarket. Solving clues together while lanterns glow over the cobblestones is way more memorable than dinner alone.

Are these quests family-friendly for kids who get bored easily?

Yes. The puzzles and mini-challenges keep kids engaged, and there are plenty of fun stops (street performers, snack breaks) along the way.
