The Experience

The first clue arrives on your phone and you're already second-guessing the address. Your team huddles around the screen in the middle of a London street, and someone says "Are we sure this is right?" — and that's exactly when you realize the Cheshire Cat hunt isn't a polished walking tour with a guide pointing things out. It's a 3-4 hour treasure hunt that sends you across central London solving riddles, interacting with real people you meet along the way, and making choices that actually change where the story goes next. Teams stay between 2 and 6 players, so you're small enough to move fast but big enough to argue about which clue makes sense.

The mechanics are simple but the experience gets weird fast. You receive clues via text message and phone calls from characters in the story — not a narrator reading to you, but actual conversations that feel like someone's messing with you in the best way. You'll encounter physical puzzles that need solving before the next location unlocks, and the riddles aren't the kind you Google; they're tied to real places and details you have to notice yourself. The hunt for the Cheshire Cat takes you through parts of London you might walk past every day without seeing, and the story shifts based on the choices your team makes. Pick the wrong door and the narrative branches somewhere unexpected. It's collaborative problem-solving with stakes — there's a leaderboard, and successful teams get a prize.

Built into the route are optional breaks at pubs and cafes where you can grab food and drinks without losing your place in the game. You're not on anyone else's schedule; the ticket is fully flexible, so if you need to pause longer or come back another day, you just reschedule it yourself through the app. The whole thing works on a UK, US, or Canadian mobile number, and it's designed for teams, so if your group is bigger than six, you split into multiple teams and play head to head. Time Out London called it something that'll have you "grinning ear to ear," which is fair — it's the kind of adventure that makes you see your own city differently.
