Glasgow hides more than just history—it hides the dead. Whispers echo through its alleys, and shadows flicker just beyond your sight.
Tonight, the spirits stir… and one of them is you. Stripped of your name, your past, and your soul, you awaken in the heart of the city, tasked with surviving a game only the dead understand.
Your only chance? Solve the riddles left behind by the forgotten, uncover the secrets of haunted landmarks, and find “the coat that was never worn.” Along the way, you'll laugh, get spooked, and maybe even discover a deeper connection to the living around you.
This thrilling adventure blends folklore, mystery, and exploration. Play it with friends or family for a ghost hunt like no other. Can you reclaim your soul—or will you become just another story Glasgow whispers about?

The mission: Your story in Glasgow
These restless spirits mean no harm. But there is a night when demons rise, hungry for a soul to be damned in eternity. Tonight is that night (it can be played during the day too, we just wanted to add some dramatic effect). Tonight, the unfortunate soul they have chosen is yours.
While you are technically still alive, your memory and identity have been stripped from you. The outcome of these hallowed trials will decide your fate. The only way to regain your soul is to find the coat that was never worn.

Frequently asked questions
What is Glasgow Ghost Hunt: The Soul That Got Away?
It’s a haunted walking game through Glasgow’s spookiest spots. You wake up with no identity and have to solve riddles left by the forgotten, visit haunted landmarks, and try to find “the coat that was never worn” to reclaim your soul.
Is this a fun thing to do in Glasgow with kids?
Yeah—but better with older kids (teenagers). Some bits are creepy-vibe, so daylight works better. They’ll probably dig the ghost stories and solving puzzles together.
Can this be a romantic date idea for travelers?
For sure. Walking through dim alleys, sharing goosebump moments, discovering hidden haunted spots side by side—makes for a memorable, slightly eerie date.
What makes this different from a typical Glasgow tour?
Instead of just following a guide and listening, you’re part of the story. You solve puzzles, discover hidden lore, explore haunted places others just walk by.
Is it good for solo travelers or groups too?
Yes to both. Went solo? You’ll be spooked and excited. With a group? It’s funnier—you can compare notes, freak out together, laugh at misreads.
