Itinerary Overview
Your adventure begins here, where you receive the first clue and are introduced to the central mystery. This is where the story of London's vanishing figures first takes shape.
Two historically rich stops unfold the next chapters of the narrative. The Langham Hotel carries deep connections to Conan Doyle and adds authentic period atmosphere to the investigation.
Clues lead you through quieter residential streets that hold surprising significance to the Holmes canon. The Heart Hospital on Westmoreland Street adds an unexpected layer to the storyline.
Chiltern Street and the aptly named Sherlock Mews bring you deep into the fictional and factual geography of Holmes' world. Each puzzle solved here nudges the mystery closer to resolution.
Two of the route's most recognisable landmarks appear in the final stretch. Baker Street Station, with its tiled Holmes silhouettes, marks the penultimate chapter of the investigation.
The adventure concludes at 221B Baker Street, the world-famous museum dedicated to the fictional detective. Both the story and the city exploration game reach their resolution here.
