About this quest
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?

Frequently asked questions
What is Glasgow Ghost Hunt: The Soul That Got Away?
