About this quest

Welcome to London, where the streets pulse with the echoes of rock legends and your bass guitar might just be your ticket to glory. Your favorite band, Gluckspeck, is looking for a new bass player - and they’ve chosen a very peculiar way to find one. 

After one cryptic phone call, you’re thrown into a wild chase through the heart of the city, solving riddles, following clues, and uncovering hidden spots where music history was made. 

This quest isn’t just a game - it’s a rhythm-fueled walk through iconic locations, a bonding adventure with friends, and a real-world mystery waiting to be played. Are you ready to chase the beat?

Highlights

  • Take a walk through Soho and find out why it’s called the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll

  • Visit the hotel where you can dine in John Lennon’s old jail cell

  • Discover London’s own Tin Pan Alley, named after its twin sister in New York

  • Uncover the truth about the mysterious Soho Noses

The mission: Your story in London

You are a very talented bass player who lives to rock, but your band has just broken up. 

Looking for a new gig, you find an ad from Gluckspeck, your favourite music group and, lo and behold, they are looking for a bass player.

Heart beating fast, you ring the number in the ad, but things are not as simple as you thought. Yes, you can audition for the band today, but you will have to find them first. 

The man on the phone gives you a riddle, then hangs up, leaving you dazed and confused. 

You check your watch, there is no time to waste. You grab your bass and storm out the door.
