Overview

When the sun sets over Edinburgh’s stone-clad streets, shadows stir and whispers rise from the past. Step into the role of John Grey, a loyal night watchman, as ghastly crimes begin to repeat and darkness creeps across the Gothic heart of the city. With your faithful dog Bobby by your side, your only hope is to track down a legendary detective and unravel the mystery before it’s too late.

Follow real-world clues, solve interactive puzzles, and explore the eerie charm of Edinburgh- from Greyfriars Kirkyard to winding closes few dare to enter. As you play, the storey unfolds on your phone, guiding you through hidden corners and haunting tales.

What makes this tour unique? It’s a story-rich adventure that brings Gothic Edinburgh to life through immersive play where your footsteps shape the narrative.

Perfect for couples, families, and curious minds who love mystery, history, and a touch of the supernatural.
