London is ablaze—and you are the only one who can stop it. Step into the soot-covered boots of Gregory Grail, a self-made fireman in 1666, as a routine call turns into a race against an unstoppable inferno. The flames spread fast, fueled by mystery and chaos, threatening to reduce the city to ashes.

In this gripping walking quest through London, you’ll follow a trail of clues and puzzles across real historical locations scarred by the fire. Piece together what happened, discover untold stories of survival, and feel the heat of history as you walk the very streets that once burned.

Solve it with friends or family—this is more than a walk, it’s a memory-making mission. Lace up your boots. London is counting on you.

Storyline

You are Gregory Grail, the first ever amateur fireman in London — in an age before firefighting organizations exist. After losing your family to a house fire as a child, formulating ways to extinguish fire became your life’s work.

You’ve been called to help put out a fire. At first, it appears to be a situation you can handle… but as the flames begin to spread across the city, you realise it’s no ordinary fire! Can you extinguish this inferno before the entire city of London is burnt to a crisp?

This is really amazing. I really love quests that give you more challenging riddles( challenging but not impossible). This quest is really terriffic, i recommend to use the written description on how to get to the next location, because the map is not very accurate or good and finding your location.
