f you are in London and you are looking for an adventure, then Questo has something special in store for you! Your city exploration should start in a glamorous way! And which place could be more suitable than Bond Street? The Champs-Elysées of London, set in the center of historic Mayfair, Bond Street has become a haven for gracious living, an oasis of elegant stores, exclusive brands, designer fashion, luxury goods, fine jewels and many others that could make the balance of your credit card to cry. But what could possibly such a luxurious street hide? Is it a dark story? Maybe some spirits that are still wandering in the search of Louis Vuitton sales? Check your surroundings to find the clue that will unlock the not-so-glamorous part of this place.
You will get to this place by following a clue and solving a puzzle. Once there, you will get indications on how to continue your search for the treasure, while also learning about the place you've discovered.

You are now headed to Berkeley Square, the green town square of Mayfair. With its birdsong and tall trees, the plaza provides a serene escape from the hubbub of the city center. These trees were planted in 1789, which ranks them among the city’s oldest. While wandering along the paths filled with leaves, you can spot the impressive houses in which such historic figures as Winston Churchill, writer Horace Walpole and Rolls-Royce co-founder Charles Rolls lived. Further on in your walk, you can come across the Woman of Samaria statue by Alexander Munro, a statue that seems inherently innocent. But everything has a dark lining and this place is no exception! Look around to find the answer to your question, that will lead you to the next checkpoint!

Discretely hidden alongside the trees of Green Park, in the proximity of Buckingham Palace, there lies the Canada Memorial - a nice tribute to the Canadian soldiers that died during WW1 and WW2. "In two world wars one million Canadians came to Britain and joined the fight for freedom. From danger shared, our friendship prospers.", as the inscription from the memorial reveals. This memorial embraces the Maple Leaf symbolism, so particular to the Canadian culture and above all, symbolizes the strong historic bonds between UK and Canada. Search the place to see what this memorial hides, solve the challenge and advance to your final destination!
Having reached this stage, we hope that you didn’t get frightened so far because you still have discoveries to make. Your path leads you to the Queen's Chapel, a wonderful hidden gem, tucked beside St James's Palace. What makes this place stand out from the crowd is its Palladian style with richly gilded and finely detailed interior, built by Inigo Jones between 1623-25. It is this small chapel where royals like the Queen Mother and Lady Diana have lain in their coffins before their funerals. But even the royal family has its secrets, buried deep into the ground or maybe, in this chapel. Answer the final question and you can call yourself a true Questo explorer that conquered the Haunted London!

It's interesting because we go through places we don't think we're going to. You learn a lot there.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que l’aventure vous ait permis de découvrir des lieux inattendus et d’apprendre de nouvelles choses en chemin. Nous espérons vous accueillir bientôt pour une nouvelle exploration.
Right, well, where to start. Honestly I'm kind of thrown by the whole experience. To get the boring stuff out of the way first, the directions were occasionally out of date and hard to follow. But more importantly this isn't really a ghost tour. It's more like an "Imagine If There Were Ghosts Here" tour, with must-see sites like Handel's house (where, OK, he did die) where you can imagine his arch-nemesis Dr Greene coming at you out of a wall, before promptly getting dragged back in by some disembodied hands. Right after that you can go see Jimmy Hendrix's appartment... he didn't die there, but he is dead! And what better way to end the tour than by stopping in front of a statue of Queen Alexandra of Denmark and being told about Queen Mary, Charles 1st's wife. Actually scratch that it was her "Court Dwarf" Jeffrey Hudson. He was imprisoned for being Catholic apparently. And you what, that wasnt the only weird Christian thing that happened. Did you know that the sculptures on the the front (sorry, facade) of the house four doors down of what was once the opera gallery, are not really sculptures. In fact, they are people placed there by the devil. The devil also comes up as a potential resisdent of 50 Berkeley Place. But not to worry, we're going to pass at least two churches, the first has the super hard question of "Who is worshipped here?" (hint: the answer is God). The other one promises to heal with the power of faith (no hauntings here). So after having gone through all this, once my friend had read the story about Jeffrey aloud to me, some crazy guy came up to us and started complaining that Catholics aren't in fact being imprisoned and that the BBC are full of policemen and some other not very nice things that I'm not going to mention. So think back the content of the tour thus far and consider the fact that this was the final stop (quite an anticlimactic one). This man was so thematically appropriate that we found it quite hard to convince ourselves that he wasn't part of the tour. To cap it all off we bumped into an anti-vaxer rally, which to be fair isn't this tour's fault, just though it would bear mentioning.

Rest assured we will take a look on this. Hope to see you giving a try playing one of our games in the future.
Ghostly Clues bore absolutely no semblance to the game Awful. I can see why looking at some of the reviews now my opinion is shared.... Complete waste our monies
Sorry to read about your poor experience. We will forward your comments to the game creator, and will make sure the game gets improved asap.
This was a total waste of money and time. I took my whole family up London for an adventure it was a nightmare from the start. First it took numerous messages to the online customer services to activate the game this took over 1hr for which my family were a little agitated as they wanted to play. Eventually we got started and the clues were all wrong… the names of the road they were asking to find on the left after 2 junctions were in actual fact 10 minutes up the road after numerous junctions and on the the right! Thanks to Google getting me to the names of the roads on the first clue. The second was just the same we needed Google in order to solve how to get to the next destination. So we gave up on this joke game!!! Would not recommend to anyone waste of time

Please contact us at care@questoapp.com if you need to provide more details about the game and so we can prevent this from happening again. Thank you!
Great game fun and educational. Some typos in the app and some construction in London proved challenging but we had a great time playing.
Hello! thank you very much for providing your feedback. We are happy that you have enjoyed it. Rest assured that the we are always making sure that the game is accurate as possible. See you on your next game!
This was very fun to see the city but some of the directions on the game were in correct and confusing. There were some out dated terms and one of our answers was covered by construction. If these were improved then it would be 5 stars and would have been perfect. It’s worth the £5 if you want to just see new parts of the city.
Thank you for playing with Questo in London and sharing your feedback. Our development team is working continuously giving you the best experience. Hope to see you explore more games with us.
Sent down a street to find a chapel which isn’t even down that street! How odd. So we gave up as stressed out our group and it was meant to be fun. Became a hassle. Waited until dark as suggested which made it harder to find the bloody chapel on another street!
We would like to apologize for your negative experience and would like to thank you for providing your feedback and rest assured we will take a look on this. We look forward to seeing you play a new game with us.
We enjoyed it a lot, it was a lot of fun to see the sites in London like the Ritz and Buckingham palace. The clues were easy but the some were hard to figure out but we just used the hints which were extremely helpful. The only bad thing is the walking/running but that was only due to us wanting to beat the other group that we had noticed were doing the same quest as us. And we did, so no real complaints here. I would definitely recommend.
That's awesome! Glad to see you enjoyed exploring London with Questo and we do appreciate you for sharing your review. Hope to see you exploring more cities with us.
This was my second time visiting London with my mates. We really enjoyed getting to more about the city while having an amazing time with the game! Some clues were kinda difficult, which made the game challenging enough for us!
