Ready To Explore Like Never Before?

Gather your team and begin your adventure QUEST through the streets of Edinburgh's New Town unlocking a hidden trail by finding clues, solving puzzles & completing challenges, earning points along the way all self-guided through the Go Quest Adventures app. See the area's highlights, explore it's hidden gems and learn some insider history and fun facts along the way (even locals will discover something new).

Welcome to Edinburgh’s New Town! Built between 1767 and 1850 as a response to overcrowding in the medieval Old Town, Edinburgh’s New Town has flourished and is a tribute to urban town planning with its elegant Neo-Classical architecture, grand squares, terraces and beautiful gardens.

Your Quest will take you on a journey back in time to an age of elegance but with an updated modern twist. Your Quest will begin with far reaching views across the city from Calton Hill then wind you through the Georgian streets and beautiful Princes Street Gardens ending at the iconic St Andrews Square. Along the way, you and your team will be involved in solving puzzles and completing challenges as you discover all that makes Edinburgh New Town the ‘Athens of the North’.
