How it works
Book online and your access code lands in your inbox. Codes work from 12 November.
Start at Cecil Court, the little bookshop lane between Charing Cross Road and St Martin's Lane. Two minutes from Leicester Square station. Come whenever suits you, daylight works best.
Text your access code to our WhatsApp and the first clue arrives. An elf called Eli will keep you company, though he's a little nervous.
Most groups take about 90 minutes. Two to four players is the sweet spot. Bigger crowd? Book a few codes and race each other.

“I've lived in London all my life and it pointed out things I never knew, or had never noticed. A great way to spend a couple of hours and great value for money.”
Jamie“I did this with a mate and we had a great time. Even as a Londoner I learned a lot about the history of the city and ended up seeing some parts I've always overlooked”
Miles“It took us through spots we never would have discovered on our own, from lively markets to great bars and some incredible viewpoints. A really memorable experience overall!”
