Romantic Date Quest: The Glasgow Exploration Game
Step into a story-driven city adventure built for couples, curious minds, and anyone ready to see Glasgow differently.
The Romantic Date Quest in Glasgow is a self-guided, phone-based exploration game that blends storytelling, puzzle-solving, and urban discovery into a single seamless experience. Players follow Graham, a chronically unlucky romantic navigating his fifteenth first date of the month, across some of Glasgow's most intriguing and lesser-visited corners.
The game unfolds through a series of location-based challenges. Each solved clue unlocks a new chapter of the story and provides directions to the next stop, removing the need for maps or pre-planning. The experience is designed for an easy difficulty level, making it accessible to a wide range of participants regardless of age or physical ability.
From the atmospheric Southern Necropolis to the elegantly restored Willow Tea Rooms, the route weaves together history, architecture, and local legend. Along the way, players uncover the remarkable story connected to the relics of St Valentine, adding a layer of historical depth to the romantic theme of the game.
This format sits at the intersection of a walking tour, an outdoor escape game, and a treasure hunt. It requires no guide, no fixed schedule, and no prior knowledge of the city. A booking confirmation delivers download instructions directly to the player's inbox, and the game can be shared across a group using a single device.

Itinerary Overview
The experience begins at this historic burial ground, where your first clue is revealed. Solving the opening challenge unlocks the story and directs you to your next destination.
Two consecutive stops that bring together natural beauty and sacred architecture. The church is home to one of the game's most memorable historical revelations, the legend of St Valentine's relics.
The mid-section of the route moves through contrasting Glasgow settings, from a relocated Victorian triumphal arch to a contemporary bowling venue and one of Scotland's most visited art galleries.
Two of Glasgow's most architecturally significant interiors feature in this stage. The Willow Tea Rooms were designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, while The Lighthouse serves as Scotland's Centre for Design and Architecture.
The final two stops bring the story and the city exploration to a close. Winchers' Stance marks the official end point, where Graham's tale reaches its conclusion.
