City Centre Walking Puzzle – Ghost Quest York
A walking puzzle game through the heart of York
£10.00
Experience the mind bending challenge of a walking puzzle game through the heart of York.
Start in the city with just your team and a smartphone. Navigate the route by solving puzzles, using strategy, creativity and logic. Each correct answer unlocks the next ghost story and stage of the quest!
The Ghost Quest is self-guided so you can play at your own pace. See the city, and stop for a coffee when you’ve found the perfect spot ☕
Your purchase is valid for a full year so if you have to change the plan, you’ve got plenty of time to reschedule.
The Ghost Quest works best in teams of 2 – 8 and kids under 8yrs old play for free!
The Ghost Quest usually takes around 2 hours to complete plus any time you spend stopping for refreshments.
You don’t need to book a specific slot to play The Ghost Quest – once you’ve ordered you’ll receive an email containing everything you need, and then you can play any time you like! We do recommend playing in the light as it’s more difficult in the dark, and the quest must be finished between 11am and 11pm for the ending to work.
If you need to leave the Quest halfway through, don’t worry! You can pick up from where you left off another day, or if you need help just give us a call.
Like any good puzzle game, if you’re struggling there are hints available which start subtle and gradually offer more assistance as needed. How many hints you request is completely up to you and your teammates. Remember the main objective is to have fun!
The Ghost Quest is family friendly, and it comes with the following trigger warning:
This quest contains story elements describing dramatic (though not graphic or gory) deaths and spirits of the dead.
If you want to know more about this do please ask.
The Ghost Quest isn’t timed so you can stop for a break, a drink, or a sit down as often as you need.
The Ghost Quest is designed for adults – a team of 8 year olds probably couldn’t solve it, but The Ghost Quest contains nothing inappropriate for children. The puzzles are too challenging for children to do alone. The game is perfect for a party as long as there is at least one adult keeping an eye on things and helping where needed.
