About this Event

Edinburgh is a city full of history - and Old Town Edinburgh is especially bursting with it.

If you take a walk around Old Town Edinburgh you will notice narrow allies lined with centuries old buildings, and you will be able to make your way around by using the Edinburgh Castle as your guiding sign - placed atop an extinct volcano.

On this Old Town Edinburgh Tour, you’ll travel through the Gothic Edinburgh Old Town, following clues scattered across the city to discover amazing places and local stories; but prepare yourself for uncovering the unimaginable.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to know anything about Old Town Edinburgh to play the game. Anyone up for the adventure can do it – all that’s needed is to download our award-winning app and explore beautiful parts of town at your own pace, chosen to delight and entertain.

Do you prefer adventures without tag-alongs? You’ll get complete freedom and privacy, as there aren’t any guides involved in our games.

Walk around Old Town Edinburgh, and if you feel like taking a break, take one! You can have a coffee or an ice cream break whenever you want with no pressure to keep going if you need a moment to relax. Ready to continue playing after your break? Just pick up where you left off and get right back into it!

An Old Town Edinburgh Tour has never been so fun!

The route you’re going to follow in the city is sprinkled with unique places, fun clues and challenges, and incredible stories.

The experience will play out like you’re the main characters of a movie, only that you’re experiencing everything in first person! Fun dialogue, intrigue, and unexpected interactions are guaranteed.
