About this quest
Liverpool is a city full of stories—but some refuse to rest. A shadowy figure is offering local ghosts something they can’t resist… at the cost of their souls. Strange whispers echo through alleyways, spectral sightings rise, and the line between worlds is wearing thin.
You are the last Paranormal Detective in Liverpool. To save both the living and the dead, you must follow the trail of clues, uncover who is behind this sinister plot, and restore balance before it's too late.
Explore eerie corners of the city, solve real-world puzzles, and uncover hidden truths as you walk with friends or family. This thrilling adventure mixes mystery, folklore, and urban exploration into an unforgettable quest. Will you stop the soul collector—or become his next victim?

Frequently asked questions
What kind of ghost stories will I hear?
Expect legends about vanished sailors, haunted pubs, old docks, and dark secrets hidden in old warehouses near the river. Something spookier than the usual ghost walk, with real history mixed in.
Would this be a good evening plan with a friend or partner?
Yes—walking through dim streets after sunset, following clues, sharing chills & laughs. Adds a whole new layer to Liverpool nights.
What landmarks or spooky spots will I pass by?
You’ll wander Docks, old factories, Albert Dock, St. George’s Hall, maybe some hidden alleys behind the waterfront that people don’t always notice.
Would a group of friends have more fun?
Yes—group energy brings laughs, debate over clues, maybe someone screaming at the wrong moment. Way more fun with company.
Will locals find new stuff?
For sure. Many people who’ve lived here all their lives don’t know certain haunted docks, hidden pub histories, ghost lore connected to specific corners. This quest reveals those.
