    What you'll see and do

    1. Ma Egerton's Stage Door

      Welcome to one of the greatest adventures in Liverpool! Rise to the challenge and start your journey with courage from Ma Egerton's Stage Door. This is a pub built in 1846, whose name comes from the longest-serving landlady, Mary Egerton, who ran the pub in an enthusiastic way. In a time of bustling theatres, picture houses and other related film and entertainment businesses, Miss Egerton was entertaining many icon performers, such as: Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin or Harry Houdini. Word has it that she was involved in the case of the Victorian mass murderer, Dr. Crippen. You must investigate the place for evidence and answer the questions!

    2. St. George's Hall

      Now it’s time to reach St. George's Hall - one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world and testament to Liverpool's heritage list. St. George’s Hall is unique in combining a concert hall and law courts, as we know by now that Liverpool folks like to sprinkle a little bit of art in everything they do. Yet many people are still to discover the building’s mysterious past and the stories dating back to a dark history. The secrets are buried deep underground, in the cells below the grandness of the Great Hall, where those waiting to be condemned would spend their final moments. Bring those secrets to the surface and look around you to find the answer and advance!

    3. Playhouse Theatre

      Let’s play together at the Liverpool Playhouse, a well-known theatre in Williamson Square that acted as a launching pad for many famous actors, such as Anthony Hopkins, Richard Bird and Diana Wynyard. Liverpool’s theatres have their fair share of ghost stories, but are they just stories or is there more to it? Get on the stage and play your role! While doing so, check your immediate surroundings because the answer may be next to you!

      Pass by without stopping

    4. Queen Victoria Monument

      Here comes the Queen Victoria Monument, a large neo-Baroque and Beaux-Arts monument built in Derby Square. The central figure of Queen Victoria is surrounded by four groups of clustered pillars, each bearing at the top an allegorical group, with a summit figure of Victory. You can sense that strange aura that drew you to this place, so continue your exploration to uncover its mystery and advance to your final destination!

      Pass by without stopping

    5. Eleanor Rigby Statue

      You are close to the end of the game, but before that, let us introduce Liverpool as the birthplace of The Beatles, the rock band that still sends you chills down the spine with their songs. And in an attempt to celebrate their worldwide success, an entertainer named Tommy Steele built a statue as tribute to the Beatles. It is called the Eleanor Rigby statue and it is dedicated to “All the lonely people…”, as it is inscripted near the monument. Don’t let the Beatles down and discover this last mystery, so you can call yourself a true Questo explorer!

    Fun! After dark history tour

    We came as a family to Liverpool, and we’re looking for things to do. Took a chance on this one, and we were pleasantly surprised how much fun it was. Luckily, I had young adult and teenage kids with me to push us along. It requires a lot of walking, which might be harder for older patrons. We loved it though, and had fun learning about the history of haunted Liverpool and Liverpool in general. We got to see things and learn about things we probably wouldn’t have if we didn’t download this app. Stuff!

    Response from the operator: Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience in Liverpool! Delighted to hear you and your family had a blast exploring and learning about the city's history. Kudos to the young team for keeping the energy up. Your adventurous spirit is what it's all about! Can't wait to have you on more explorations.

    Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Liverpool.

    How much does Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Liverpool usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Liverpool is not rushed.

    Is Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Liverpool, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Liverpool can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Liverpool and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Liverpool within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Liverpool?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Liverpool experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Liverpool: "Blue Route" - City & Beatles Tour, Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour, Downtown Liverpool Walking Tour - In Spanish. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Liverpool?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Liverpool?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game?

    +

    Included: Storyline content; 12 puzzle challenges; Mobile access code; and Flexibility to pause/resume anytime. Not included: A physical tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game?

    +

Open the Questo app. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
