About this quest
Having spent cherished years here during the Great War, sheltered by your grandparents from the chaos of battlefronts and factories, the landscape is both hauntingly familiar and jarringly different.
Now in your mid-twenties and driven by necessity, you tread the cobblestone streets once more, not as a carefree child but as a hopeful job-seeker.
As you embark on this quest, you'll navigate the town's landmarks, confronting both the challenges of a shifting post-war economy and the ghostly echoes of bygone days.
This outdoor escape game offers an immersive dive into Ironbridge's storied past, a fusion of history, nostalgia, and the timeless search for belonging."
