Important: You cannot access your gamecode via the Tripadvisor ‘ticket’ link. It will be manually generated and sent to you by message after booking.
No time slot needed — play any day, any time during daylight hours. All you need is a smartphone with a web browser.
The game is designed for adults or teens with an interest in stories, crime fiction, and walking. This is a self-guided mystery walk — not a race — so feel free to pause for a break, explore side streets or follow your own line of enquiry. Use the /ROUTE, /HINT, or /SKIP commands to move faster or get help.
The route is 5km, starting at Baker St tube and ending near 221B. It loops through Marylebone and Regent’s Park and is fully wheelchair and buggy accessible.
As you walk, you’ll gather clues, observe locations, and piece together your theory of the case: Who was the victim? What was the cause of death? Who met whom? Who had motive? Who had opportunity?
Once you’ve formed your conclusion, you can submit your theory — or ask Holmes for his.
The game is fully playable in 11 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic) — no guide required.
There is no guide to meet you — your guide is your phone. Your Viator booking reference (BR-…) is your ticket. Go to the start point for the trail, open play.sidewalks.co.uk on your phone, tap "Booked on Viator?" and enter your booking reference. Everyone in your group should do this.
