London's West End at War: Self-Guided WWII Puzzle Adventure
Follow a wartime heroine through London's most storied streets, solving codes and uncovering secrets at your own pace.
Step into London in 1942, where the glittering West End and the shadow of war collide in a self-guided WWII puzzle adventure that turns the city's most iconic landmarks into an immersive game of espionage and discovery. Walk in the footsteps of Lacey Biggins, a showgirl turned undercover operative whose mission could alter the outcome of the war. Your smartphone guides you every step of the way, blending sightseeing with interactive storytelling.
This adventure unfolds across some of London's most historically significant streets and squares, from Green Park and Burlington Arcade to Trafalgar Square and the Churchill War Rooms. Each location reveals a new chapter of the story, accompanied by a real-world puzzle or wartime code to crack before you can move forward.
The experience is designed to be as flexible as a city stroll. You can pause at any stop, explore the surroundings at leisure, and continue when you are ready. There is no guide to keep up with and no fixed schedule to follow, making it ideal for a wide range of travellers.
History, narrative, and exploration come together in a format that suits curious minds of all ages. Whether you are discovering London for the first time or rediscovering it through a wartime lens, this adventure offers a genuinely fresh perspective on familiar landmarks.
What Makes This Adventure Stand Out
Follow an original spy narrative set in 1942 London, told through the eyes of a bold fictional heroine navigating real wartime streets.
Your smartphone acts as your guide, game controller, and storyteller, requiring no extra equipment beyond a charged device.
The route covers 15 historically significant stops across St James's, Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square, and Westminster, all walkable at your own pace.
Solve wartime codes and real-world puzzles at each location, with each solution unlocking the next chapter of the story and your next directions.
With a duration of under two hours, this adventure fits comfortably into a half-day itinerary without rushing the experience.
Suitable for solo travellers, couples, families, and groups, with an easy difficulty level that keeps the focus on fun rather than frustration.
Landmarks including Horse Guards Parade, the Churchill War Rooms, and the Cenotaph are woven naturally into the narrative for added historical depth.
Route Highlights
Your adventure begins here with your first clue. Solve the opening challenge to unlock the story and receive directions to your next stop.

Lacey's mission deepens as you reach the grand ceremonial heart of the capital, where wartime statues and monuments hold clues to the unfolding plot.
