The experience
About this quest
A lost film masterpiece is hidden on London's South Bank, but a ruthless producer seeks to destroy it. Your mission: follow cryptic clues and solve puzzles across iconic cinematic locations. The trail leads you to classic film settings, including the Tate Modern, scene of a dramatic Mission: Impossible escape, the Millennium Bridge, attacked by Dementors in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and the Globe Tavern, home to Bridget Jones. Are you ready to start your blockbuster adventure?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Film fans and families with school-age children who want to stand where Harry Potter, Mission: Impossible and Bridget Jones were filmed will enjoy this South Bank trail. Over about an hour and 2.4 km you solve medium-level puzzles at ten stops, from the Shard to the Millennium Bridge, while chasing a lost film. Anyone wanting a live guide to quiz, or an indoor afternoon, should pick another quest.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a self-guided London tour app that includes history?
Yes. You play it on your phone with no guide, and it tells the story of each place as you go. Alongside the film locations, the route passes historic South Bank spots such as the Old Operating Theatre, The George, the Golden Hinde, The Clink and Shakespeare's Globe.
Where does the walk start and how long does it take?
It starts at Tate Modern and loops back there over the Millennium Bridge. The route covers about 2.4 km and takes around an hour at a relaxed pace, though you set your own speed and can stop along the way.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged family friendly, and the story of rescuing a lost film from a ruthless producer tends to appeal to children. The puzzles are medium difficulty and solved using what you see around you, so it suits school-age kids who can read clues and walk 2.4 km.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. There is no set start time to book, so you can begin whenever suits you, pause partway through and continue later.
