About this experience
Edinburgh built a castle on a volcano and a city around it — this tour connects the old stones to the stories behind them. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Edinburgh on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow clues along the Royal Mile past Edinburgh Castle and John Knox House, finishing at the Palace of Holyroodhouse — nearly a thousand years of Scottish history on one walk. • Set off whenever you're ready and go at whatever speed suits the weather (it's Edinburgh, plan for variety). • Riddles, photo tasks, and a group leaderboard make this a great day out for families, couples, and groups. 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. Spot a ghost, solve a riddle, or just blame the weather — Edinburgh always delivers.
