Escape The Past
Bring your dog on an outdoor adventure to discover Edinburgh's dark past with our City Trails. These outdoor escape rooms are part walking tour, part scavenger hunt or treasure hunt - but with physical props and plenty of escape room style puzzles! Can your team unravel the mystery of Edinburgh's most infamous criminals - Burke & Hare?
Read MoreOur City Trails are like outdoor escape rooms - part self-guided walking tour, part scavenger hunt or treasure hunt - but with physical props and plenty of escape room style puzzles! And best of all, they're dog friendly! Well behave pups are welcome to join for the tour - provided they are kept on a lead. Each City Trail follows a tale from Edinburgh's darkest past and invites you on a journey through the very sites and locations where it all took place. But you're no mere passengers, your group will have to find clues, solve puzzles and uncover the secrets hidden in plain sight. Expertly researched and crafted, we combine technology with real locks, props and puzzles to create a fun, engaging experience that lets you discover the city in a whole new way. The experience starts and ends at our central Edinburgh location where you'll collect a satchel containing everything needed for the trail ahead.
