How It Works

HOW IT WORKS

Adventure Trails are location-based escape-room adventures, played across real places. You explore independently, at your own pace, using puzzles and clues to uncover hidden stories along the way.

There’s no guide, no schedule, and no app to download - just an adventure waiting to be explored.

Choose an Adventure

Pick a trail in a city, town, or iconic route.

Each trail page clearly shows:

Whether it’s walking or driving
How long it typically takes
What kind of experience to expect

You can choose a digital trail to use on your phone, or a printed booklet if you prefer something to hold.

Start Your Adventure

Start whenever it suits you. Follow the route using clear directions between locations. There’s no time limit and no pressure - stop for food, take breaks, or spread the trail over a longer day if you like.

Solve the Clues

At each location, you’ll solve a puzzle using your surroundings, encouraging observation, teamwork, and discovery. The clues are designed to reveal hidden details and stories, making each trail far more engaging than a standard walk or drive.

If you ever get stuck, QR codes along the route link to the Trail Hub, where you’ll find location help (including what3words), extra context, and optional hints or gentle reveals. Using hints is entirely optional and won’t spoil the rest of the trail.

Complete the final clue to uncover the conclusion of the adventure, or pick up another nearby trail and keep exploring.

A few good things to know...

Adventure Trails are self-guided — there’s no guide or group

Trails take place in real locations, so conditions can vary

Some locations may occasionally be inaccessible due to construction or local changes (if this happens, images on the Trail Pages help you continue)

Accessibility varies by location, and alternative routes are included where possible
