About this quest
Step into the heart of Liverpool’s rock ‘n’ roll history with this immersive walking tour and escape game. Discover the city’s most iconic landmarks, dive into the rich musical heritage of the Merseybeat scene, and uncover the stories of legendary musicians.
Along the way, you’ll explore the streets that inspired The Beatles and other rock ‘n’ roll icons, revealing eye-opening tales of the city’s musical past.
In this adventure, you’ve invented a time machine and traveled back to December 6, 1965—the night of The Beatles’ final performance in Liverpool. But disaster strikes: your time machine has vanished, and so have the Fab Four!
A mysterious talking guitar in your hands promises to help—but only if you can find its owner, John Lennon, and recover its missing strings. Will you piece together the clues, retrieve your time machine, and bring back The Beatles before history changes forever? Perfect for music lovers, Beatles fans, and puzzle solvers, this self-guided tour offers a thrilling blend of music history and interactive fun.

Liverpool music history
Merseybeat before the fictional time machine
Liverpool’s clubs helped create the Merseybeat sound that reached international audiences in the 1960s. The Beatles first performed at the Cavern Club in February 1961, while many local and visiting musicians built the wider scene around Mathew Street and other city venues. This quest uses that real musical heritage as the setting for an invented jump to December 1965. The vanished time machine is fiction; the performance culture and Liverpool locations behind the story are part of the city’s music history. Playable languages: English.
