Description

Step into the world of Sherlock Holmes as you embark on a private adventure challenge through the historic streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. This immersive walking experience invites you to solve clues inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective, using a 19th-century map and a backpack filled with intriguing props and physical clues.

Your journey begins when you meet your guide, who will brief you on the game mechanics and provide support throughout your adventure. The game is designed for groups of up to seven people and is available in both English and Spanish, making it perfect for friends or families seeking a unique outing.

As you follow a series of numbered clues, you'll explore iconic Edinburgh landmarks such as St Andrews Square and Princess Street, as well as hidden gems off the usual tourist path. Each location is carefully chosen for its connection to Sherlock Holmes and his creator, adding a fascinating historical layer to your quest.

The challenge typically lasts around three hours, depending on your pace and whether you take breaks along the way. At the end, you’ll return your kit and receive a special souvenir badge as a memento of your detective skills. The adventure concludes in the vibrant West End of the city.

To participate, you’ll need a fully charged phone with internet access for occasional contact with your guide, but the game itself is not phone-based. This experience involves a fair amount of walking, including ramps and stairs, and is best suited for adults and older children. Secure your spot now and uncover the mysteries of Edinburgh like never before!

Edinburgh: Private Sherlock Holmes Adventure Tour Challenge

Good to know

• You will need a fully-charged phone with internet access, however, this game is not phone-based. You will need a phone only to be in touch with your guide • This activity involves a long walk and there will be some ramps and stairs on the way • You will be asked for a deposit of £20 at the start. This is fully refundable when the kit id is returned undamaged. You will have to drop off the bag after you finish. There will be a drop off location near the end. This is a challenging puzzle solving game. Children are welcomed but it's not designed for children and we think it might be a little hard for under 12s.
