About this experience
Durham's cathedral and castle share a peninsula above the Wear — and the city that grew up between them has stories to match both. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Durham on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow clues to St Nicholas' Church, Durham Castle, and the atmospheric Sewer Lamp — medieval faith, Norman power, and Victorian ingenuity in one compact walk. • Start when you arrive and go at whatever pace suits the group. • Great for families, history lovers, and groups of any size. Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Durham Cathedral is one of the great buildings of the world. The Sewer Lamp is arguably more memorable.
