Overview
You arrive at New Street Station and feel an icy chill. A Victorian ghost tells you the souls of Birmingham's workers are trapped beneath the city, and you're fading too. Find letters hidden across town and complete an invocation before it's too late.
Follow restless spirits through 10 haunted locations, from a station built over a disturbed cemetery to a secret tunnel, a cellar where rioters burned alive, and a cathedral where a statue comes to life. Decode ciphers and free the souls before you vanish.
Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start playing at New Street Station. No guide, no schedule, best played after dark.
Discover Birmingham's darkest stories: a hidden tomb of 1,163 bodies beneath a convention centre, the city's last public hanging, and a mayor whose ghost still haunts his office surrounded by fresh flowers.
Perfect for ghost storey lovers and puzzle solvers. About 50 minutes, 10 stops through haunted Birmingham.

Gas Street Basin (Pass by)
Are you hearing the sound of paddles splashing water? The buzz of people enjoying their afternoon? Then, you most likely reached the Gas Street Basin of central Birmingham. This is a canal where you can cruise down, seeing the gems of the city while contemplating your quite thoughts. It illustrates a rich and colourful scenery of how life would have been during the industrial days.
Nevertheless, while you are contemplating, search around you to find the clue that is missing. Perhaps, it sunk down the canal or maybe it’s right in front of you.
Bullring & Grand Central Birmingham (Pass by)
Well, well! You reached the middle of your quest. Being the showcase of Birmingham’s retail therapy offerings, Bullring is one of the UK’s most visited shopping centres located in the very heart of the city. Even though you will not see real life bulls in here, it is still an exciting place, especially when the discounts period is around the corner! So, don’t waste your time and answer the question to advance!

Once here, you will get indications on how to continue your game, while also learning about the storey of the place you have just discovered.
The Mailbox (Pass by)
Something tells you received an important post, but it is not on Gmail or Yahoo, but in The Postbox - a high-class shopping and office development in the heart of Birmingham. This site was the location of the Royal Mail's main sorting office building for Birmingham, hence its current name. Nowadays, they don’t sort envelopes anymore, but rather an exquisite edit of brands.

Hall of Memory (Pass by)
You are now headed to the Hall of Memory - a war memorial in Centenary Square, Birmingham that commemorates the citizens that lost their lives during the tragic events of WW1. The interior features three carved bas-relief plaques, each having a symbolic significance: the Call - the departure to war, the Front Line - the fighting and the Return - the arrival home of the wounded.
Birmingham was a city that was very much impacted by the World Wars and Birmingham Blitz has earned its place in history. Even though you are not among the ruins right now, dig up the mystery and find out more about this place!
Victoria Square (Pass by)
Birmingham has many public squares, and Victoria Square is arguably its most famous one. And what any other way to finish the city exploration game than in a fastous way?
