About this experience

Your late great-aunt has left behind more than a memory. Inside the envelope she left you is a weathered map, dotted with strange codes and familiar Greenwich landmarks. One last eccentric act or something far more valuable? Follow the clues through 14 real locations across historic Greenwich in this self-guided outdoor mystery game. Download the free Questo app, start at the Spanish Galleon pub, and go anytime between 8am and 7pm, no guide, no group, no fixed schedule. The trail winds through Greenwich Market, St Alfege Church, the National Maritime Museum, the Queen's House, and ends at the legendary Cutty Sark. Along the way, a cast of characters emerges — including a cousin with his own half of the map, and a stranger who knows more about your great-aunt than you do. Solve 14 riddles hidden in plaques, signs, and architecture. Uncover the history of the Prime Meridian, the Cutty Sark's tea-racing voyages, and Greenwich's haunted past. Suitable for ages 10 and up.

A fun scavenger hunt with a bit of history

It was fun. Some of the clues were a little more difficult to find because of construction at their locations.

Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! I am so glad you had a fun time combining a scavenger hunt with the rich history of Greenwich. I really appreciate you mentioning the construction. City landscapes change constantly, and unexpected building works can definitely make finding clues a bit trickier! I have shared your feedback with our local creators so they can check those specific spots and update the route or hints to keep things running smoothly for future players. We would love to host you on another adventure. Please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can offer you a free quest for the next time you travel!

Fun tour

Great fun! The only issue was getting it to load onto my phone and opening it; this part was very frustrating and I nearly gave up.

Response from the operator: Thanks so much for sharing your experience—we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour! We’re sorry to hear about the frustration when loading it onto your phone. We’re constantly working to make the setup smoother, and your feedback really helps us improve. We hope the treasure hunt was worth it in the end, and we’d love to see you on another quest soon!

Great, once we were able to get it to load.

The tour itself was great, but it took forever to get it to open on my phone. Very frustrating. Once we got going, we had a great time.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the quest once it got going. We’re sorry to hear about the delay in getting it to load on your phone—that must have been frustrating. We’re constantly working on improving the app experience, and your feedback really helps us do that. We hope to see you on another quest soon!

Greenwich short walk

I enjoyed the walking puzzle game. A small mistake on one of the directions but easier enought to see where the mistake is. A lot of pubs along the way if you would want to take a short break.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing positive experience with Questo. We are grateful that you enjoyed the game. Hope to see you explore more games with us.

London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest Game: questions travelers ask

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

How much does London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest Game cost?

+

Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest Game take?

+

Plan for about 0.9 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 London is not rushed.

Is London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest Game worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest 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 London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest Game suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest Game?

+

Around 2 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 London 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 London and add a light layer if any part of the 0.9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does London Greenwich: Self-Guided Mystery Quest 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 London 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 London?

+

London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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 London?

+

May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. 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 London?

+

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.
