Frequently asked questions

Looking for a fun outing with kids—what should we try?

There are quests like Manchester Music: 80’s & 90’s Musical Tour that keep it lively. Kids will love recognizing songs, exploring colourful murals in the Northern Quarter, and following clues—not just walking around.

My partner and I want something more memorable than dinner—any date ideas in Manchester?

Try Northern Quarter Manchester: Street Art & Highlights. Wander through street art alleys, discover hidden murals, solve puzzles together, and finish with a relaxing moment in a cosy café.

We’re a group of friends looking for something spooky—or at least dramatic—what works?

Go for Murder in Manchester: Discover the City’s Gruesome Past or The Manchester Pusher: Find the Truth. Both have mystery, dark stories, clues—great for a group wanting to feel like detectives.

Is this good for locals who think they already know Manchester well?

Yes! Quests like Highlights of Manchester reveal hidden gems and street art around areas you pass every day but might never explore deeply. Even familiar places feel fresh.

Do we need to reserve or join with people—can we just start any time?

No reservation needed. You can start a quest whenever it suits you—morning, afternoon or evening. Quests are self-guided, so you go at your own pace.

What landmarks or hidden spots will I pass on these quests?

You’ll see big names like Manchester Cathedral, John Rylands Library, Science & Industry Museum, the Northern Quarter’s street art scene, canal paths, and smaller “hidden gems” like tucked-away cafés or murals.
