You start outside a familiar city square with your phone in your hand and a timer set for 60 minutes. Streets hum like a living map and shopfronts, alleys, and parks become supply depots in a city that dares you to be quick. The rules are simple: collect points, complete micro-challenges, and beat the clock to survive the fictional outbreak.
Bolton wears its industrial past on brick facades and former mill chimneys; the town’s cotton-era history informs the streets you’ll cross and the public squares where clues hide. Geology matters less here than urban layers—cobbled lanes, Victorian terraces, and modern plazas that create varied footing and sightlines. Local culture leans working-class, direct, and family-friendly; expect curious onlookers and helpful shopkeepers more than theatrical actors. The game is self-guided and mobile-based, designed for teams up to 10, and suitable for all ages—there are no real zombies.
Practical guidance: charge your phone and bring a portable battery, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan a clear start point outside the recommended meeting spot. Use public transport—Bolton Interchange is nearby—and budget time for crossing busy roads. Keep an eye on weather; a sudden drizzle changes how quickly you move and where you search. The hunt is fast-paced: communicate with teammates, split tasks between navigation and item spotting, and leave time to enter answers or upload photos. With minimal gear and a sense of play, the city becomes a one-hour improv mission that tests observation, speed, and teamwork.
The game is designed as a 60-minute self-guided hunt—plan for 75–90 minutes including transit and a quick debrief.
Yes; the event is family-friendly and accessible to prams, but younger kids may need help completing tasks under time pressure.
You can book as an individual or a group; teams can be up to 10 people and many players join as smaller groups and combine on-site.
