Ghosts of York: Self Guided Exploration Game

This is a self guided (without a guide) exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played through the shadowed streets of York. Explore 11 different locations while following the story of a vanished guardian's last trail searching for a broken veil allowing spirits to roam freely. At each location, you'll solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on monuments, graffiti, and facades. It stays around the old town, mixing real history with neighborhood myths only locals share. Perfect for mystery lovers, history enthusiasts and urban explorers.

Starting in front of the The King's Arms Pub, the stops are spaced an average of around 200m apart, with each location taking around 6 min to complete. The route also passes through St Cuthbert's House of Prayer, Quilters' Guild and York Minster. At each location, you'll solve a challenge and receive instructions for the next chapter.
