Mystery Guides

Recommended by Visit England Logo
Overview
Mystery Guides turns historic cities into outdoor escape rooms. There’s something nicely old-fashioned about Mystery Guides. Rather than using GPS and an app, you start with a proper, fully-illustrated, printed book. Each book, based on a city, sends you off onto a treasure hunt for facts, objects and clues to solve a fictional historical mystery. Have some detective fun while also seeing cities such as Brighton, Portsmouth, Oxford or Southsea.
Location
Office 3 College Road, HM Naval Base, PORTSMOUTH, HAMPSHIRE, PO1 3LJ
About the area
Hampshire’s varied landscape of hills and heaths, downlands and forests, valleys and coast are without rival in southern England. Hike across the chalk downland of the north Hampshire ‘highlands’, meander along peaceful paths through unspoilt river valleys of the Test, Itchen, Avon and Meon, or explore the lonely salt marshes and the beautiful medieval forest and heathland of the New Forest.
