You step off the bus into a gray morning and the air tastes faintly of diesel and history. The envelope is weighty in your hand — clues, a map, a cast list — and the first prompt points you toward the bronze figures of the Royal Artillery Memorial. From that stone sentinel the route threads south-east through the sweep of Hyde Park Corner, threads past Wellington Arch, and into the green hush of St James’s Park where a cottage, a corpse and a clue await.

You step off the bus into a gray morning and the air tastes faintly of diesel and history. The envelope is weighty in your hand — clues, a map, a cast list — and the first prompt points you toward the bronze figures of the Royal Artillery Memorial. From that stone sentinel the route threads south-east through the sweep of Hyde Park Corner, threads past Wellington Arch, and into the green hush of St James’s Park where a cottage, a corpse and a clue await.
This is Westminster: a borough layered in political drama, Victorian memorials and Thames-era geology — London clay under cobbles, river terraces marked by reclaimed land and the faint rumble of the Tube below. The game borrows from a 1968 police procedural, repurposing real streets and public spaces into puzzle sites. Along the way you’ll pass the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben’s face, and finish near Great Scotland Yard, where policing and public spectacle intersect.
Culturally the walk moves through ceremonial London — state processions, statues of imperial figures, and parks that once held hunting grounds. Expect paved surfaces, town traffic, and the occasional tourist group. The mystery is self-paced: pick up your envelope at the stated collection point, follow the map, solve riddles, and keep your wits about you.
Practical guide: the route is about 4 miles and takes ~2 hours on foot; wear supportive shoes, carry a charged phone for photo-evidence, and plan morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid peak commuter crowds. The script is in English only and the experience is accessible to most fitness levels.
The loop covers about 4 miles and most groups finish in roughly 2 hours depending on pace and how long you linger at clues.

All materials and clues are provided in English only, so basic English reading comprehension is required.
No — this is self-guided and you can begin at any time after collecting your materials from the pickup point within opening hours; just allow the full two hours.
