About this quest
Forget every ghost story you've heard about this city. This Halloween, ten restless spirits are loose on its streets. 👻 No history book knows their names. No tour guide has heard of them. Most are just lost souls. One is lying to you. 💀
A hooded Oracle needs a ghost hunter. Every spirit is stuck on unfinished business: solve its mystery, catch it, and it gives up a clue. Follow the trail across town, crack ciphers and riddles (some only the street itself can answer), then name the Evil One and destroy it before it finds you. 🕷️
Is this for you?
Who it's for
From the Gallery of Modern Art, a 2 km trail leads past the Duke of Wellington statue, Princess Square and the Pearl Assurance Building in around 90 minutes, with ciphers and riddles set in the street. Friends, couples, families with older kids and puzzle fans who would rather play than listen will enjoy it. Skip it if your children scare easily or you want a live guide to question.

Frequently asked questions
How does ghost hunting in Glasgow work on this quest?
A hooded Oracle sends you after ten spirits, each stuck on unfinished business. Solve a ghost's mystery and it gives up a clue. Follow the trail across town, then use the clues to name the Evil One and destroy it. It takes about 90 minutes over roughly 2 km.
Is it like a ghost hunters escape room?
It plays like one, but outdoors. Instead of a locked room you solve ciphers and riddles on the street, and some can only be answered by looking at what is in front of you. The aim is to deduce which spirit is lying before it is too late.
Is this a haunted house experience?
No. It is a self-guided walk played on your phone, taking you through Glasgow's streets rather than into one building. Stops include the Duke of Wellington statue, Princess Square and the Pearl Assurance Building, so expect to be outside for most of it.
Where does it start, and do we need to book a time?
The route starts at the Gallery of Modern Art. There is no fixed start time and no guide to meet, so you begin whenever suits you, day or evening. You can pause and carry on later if you want a break along the way.
Can we play as a group, and is it suitable for kids?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. It suits older kids best: the story is a Halloween ghost hunt with a lying evil spirit, and the ciphers and riddles need some reading and reasoning.
Is Ghost Hunt in Glasgow self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. You can start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does Ghost Hunt in Glasgow start and finish?
It starts at Gallery of Modern Art, 111 Queen St, Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow G1 3AH, UK and finishes at Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, Glasgow, 111 Queen St, Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow G1 3AH, UK. The route is approximately 2 km and includes 12 location-based puzzles.
What is included with Duo and Fellowship?
Duo provides access on 2 devices. Fellowship provides access on up to 5 devices, so each included player can follow the experience on their own phone.
