Frequently asked questions

Is this a good date idea in Clapham?
Yes, it is built as a date. The story starts when an attractive stranger tells you to meet at the best spot in Clapham, and you follow the clues past pubs, a record shop, Clapham Common and Venn Street. It is free to play, and you can start whenever suits you both.
What is there to do in Clapham on this walk?
In walking order, the route takes in Clapham Junction, The Clapham Grand, The Old Bank, Northcote Records, Hannahs and the Library, Battersea Arts Center, The Four Thieves, Clapham Common West Side, Clapham Common and its bandstand, The Windmill Pub, Long Pond, Holy Trinity Church, Venn Street and Infernos. The app tells each place's story and sets a puzzle there.
Where does it start and finish, and how long does it take?
You start at Clapham Junction and finish at Infernos, so it does not end where it began. The route covers about 4.9 km, and most players take around 2.5 hours, including walking and puzzles.
What if it gets cold, or we want a break?
You can pause at any point and pick up later. If the weather turns cold, you can step inside to warm up at almost any location in the game, since many stops are pubs, cafes and venues.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play in the evening?
There is no time to book and no group to join; start whenever you like. Daytime is best, though, as playing at night is not recommended for this route.
