HiddenCity: immersive adventures across London
HiddenCity’s immersive adventures will get you and your friends out in the city, unravelling riddles, uncovering secret locations and solving puzzles
The immersive experience specialists have relaunched three of their critically acclaimed escapades, providing some much-needed entertainment for adventure-hungry Londoners. Not for the narrow-minded, each experience invites you to choose your own path through the story, interacting with characters along the way. Following clues delivered by text, each small group (of two to five players) must immerse themselves in challenges that ‘open up parts of the city you never knew existed’, and, ultimately, affect the way their story unfolds.
The games have been adapted to suit current health and safety measures. None of the locations on the route requires visitors to wear face masks, but at the same time, each game can be enjoyed exclusively outdoors if players don’t feel comfortable entering venues.
Here are three HiddenCity adventures to book now...
