About this quest
When 17-year-old William Blake steps off the train at West Dulwich, he’s following more than a clue—he’s stepping into his grandfather’s legacy. A shimmering feather and a cryptic note lead him on a journey through forgotten parks, ancient chapels, and secret murals.
Each location reveals pieces of a hidden past, tying together science, history, and a ghostly figure named Elektra, whose story seems bound to his own. As William deciphers symbols and memories left behind, he uncovers more than just answers—he unlocks a mystery that spans generations.
Rooted in real history and wrapped in quiet magic, this quest invites players to walk between the lines of myth and memory in one of London’s most overlooked corners.

Who it's for

Families with teenagers suit it best. At 4.1 km and close to three hours on foot, it is a poor fit for small children or anyone wanting a live guide.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Dulwich walk start and finish?
It starts at West Dulwich Station and finishes at the final stop, Remember William Blake. It is not a loop, so you end somewhere different from where you began. On the way you pass Belair House, Lovers Walk, the Picture Gallery, Christ's Chapel, the Dulwich College Burial Ground and several murals.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
The route covers 4.1 km, and most players take close to three hours, around 160 minutes, including walking, reading the story at each stop and solving the puzzles. You can pause and continue later, so there is no need to do it all in one go.
Is it suitable for children?
It works best for families with teenagers. The story follows a 17-year-old and involves deciphering symbols and clues, and the walk runs to about three hours over 4.1 km. Younger children may find the length and the puzzles a stretch.
Can we play as a group?

Do we need to book a time slot?
