The Experience

The first clue popped up on my phone just as we reached that statue of the Beatles — you know the one, everyone stops for a photo but I’d never noticed how shiny Paul’s shoe is from all the rubbing. Our “captain” Bess (not real, but she feels like a mate) sent us this riddle about a clock nearby. I swear, we stood there arguing if it meant the big clock or the tiny one above a bakery window. Turns out it was neither, which made us laugh harder than I expected. There’s something about poking around Liverpool’s streets with your phone buzzing hints that makes you see things differently — even the old lamp posts suddenly looked suspicious.

We wandered past Mathew Street and honestly, got sidetracked by some busker belting out “Hey Jude.” The hunt lets you pause whenever, so we just joined in for a bit (my singing is questionable). Later, our group split over another clue — my mate swore it was something in a shop window, but I spotted this weird plaque on the wall. She still says she was right. It’s not rushed at all; you can stop for coffee or even turn it into a pub crawl if you want. At one point, an older couple asked what we were doing and ended up helping us solve one of the trickier riddles. That’s Liverpool for you.

I didn’t expect to learn much — figured it’d just be silly fun — but Bess kept dropping these odd facts about buildings I’ve walked past loads of times. Like apparently there’s a spot where people used to gather to hear shipping news? Never knew that. The whole thing is about 3.5 miles (felt less with all the stops), and by the end my feet were tired but my brain was buzzing with random trivia and inside jokes from our group chat. We finished near the docks just as it started to drizzle, which felt oddly perfect for Liverpool.
