London West End Outdoor Escape Room: Solve Puzzles

Search the streets for clues and crack codes to uncover a ghost story across the West End

An outdoor escape room and scavenger hunt combined, played across London's West End using a physical game box, real-world clues hidden around the neighborhood, and a mobile app to track your progress. You have about two hours to search for clues at landmarks, murals and statues, solve puzzles, and enter solutions on the app to find out where to go next. One ticket covers a group of up to six people. Difficulty adjusts to your pace. Take as many hints as you need.

The Experience

Two hours of playtime takes you through the West End following a storyline about two star-crossed lovers and a mystical quest. The game board is the neighborhood itself: clues hide in plain sight on murals, statues, landmarks and other real locations. You search for them, use what you find to crack codes, then scan a QR code on the app to input your solutions and learn where to go next. The physical game box contains puzzles, a lockbox and the materials you need to play.

You set the pace. How long the adventure takes depends on your experience level and how much time you spend exploring along the way: some groups finish faster, others linger to discover hidden gems the game reveals. Hints are available whenever you need them, so you can adjust the difficulty on the fly. If you book 14 or more days ahead, the game box ships to you. Bookings made closer to your play date are available for local pickup.

Top questions

How many people can play with one ticket?

One ticket covers a group of up to six people, so you split the cost across everyone playing together.

What's actually inside the game box?

The box contains puzzles, clues, a lockbox and other materials you'll need to solve the storyline. The real clues you're hunting for are hidden around the West End itself: on buildings, streets and landmarks you'll visit.

Can I get hints if I get stuck?

Yes. Scannable QR codes in the app let you request hints whenever you need them, so you can make the puzzle difficulty easier or harder depending on how you want to play.

What happens if I book close to my play date?

Bookings made fewer than 14 days before your play date are scheduled for local pickup in London. If you book 14 or more days in advance, the team will contact you to arrange shipping of the game box.

Is this accessible for people with mobility needs?

Yes. All areas and surfaces around the West End route are wheelchair accessible, and transportation options nearby are wheelchair accessible too. The game is suitable for all physical fitness levels.
