It’s not just a puzzle journey. It’s a way of seeing Leicester Square differently. Streets become clues, statues become characters, and small details start to matter. 

With a story tying it all together, every discovery feels meaningful.

The mission: Your story in London

Amber, an aspiring actress, wanders into Leicester Square after another failed audition, unsure what she’s missing. 

As statues around the square come to life, each presents a puzzle tied to a lesson in acting and self-awareness. To succeed in her next audition, Amber must solve them- and prove she’s ready not just to get the role, but to deserve it.

It was great but the only thing was the eighth question was difficult to figure out. I had an amazing time playing with dad and solving puzzles. Even though they were a bit tricky, and we had to look at answers for some, it was really fun. 😁

Really enjoyed exploring Leicester Square on this quest. Definitely drew my attention to things I would have missed otherwise. Puzzles were well thought out and made good use of the environment (particularly enjoyed the one associated with Batman)- although struggled with number 9, and still can't see how it works even knowing the answer. And a lovely little story bringing it all together.

Interesting puzzles with challenges, and a nice storyline to follow. Like the use of surroundings and aspects of the statues. A couple of puzzles were confusing or not particularly clear for what to do, even with a print out - Laurel and Hardy in particular. Only didn't complete because I ran out of time before my next activity in London but would love to retake it in the future.
