    A great way to discover parts of London via a clever interactive mystery game

    The game was lots of fun to do together. Great locations throughout taking us to parts of London we’ve never been or thought to go to before. The clues were challenging (some more than others) but we managed between us to work them all out without the need to request an additional clue! The game works really well with all the messages coming through on WhatsApp and the interaction with people at various locations, including two phone calls was great too. The pub stops/breaks were appreciated and enjoyed - great choices and we'll be back to them again. Overall a very clever concept and a great way to spend time up in London. We would certainly recommend this as a great way to spend several hours immersed in an interactive game and see London in a different light.

    Perfect date activity

    It was the perfect activity for a date. Challenging and entertaining enough to keep you engaged but with plenty of time and cool places to just hang out and chat.

    The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity cost?

    +

    Prices start at £30 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 The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 250 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity?

    +

    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 The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity?

    +

    Around 88 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.

    What is included in The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity?

    +

    Included: Interactions with people you meet, in the real world; A prize for every player in successful teams, as well as your place on the leaderboard; Hands-on physical puzzles for your team to solve; Interactive text messages and phone calls with characters in the story; and A story that changes with the decisions you make. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity?

    +

    Follow instructions sent via mobile… Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to The Hunt for the Cheshire Cat by HiddenCity if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in London. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
