Turning City Streets into Adventure Playgrounds! Explore the streets of historic York as your team unlocks a hidden trail, finding clues, solving puzzles, and completing challenges, earning points along the way all self-guided through the Go Quest Adventures app. See the area's highlights, explore its hidden gems, and learn some insider history and fun facts along the way. Your puzzle-filled adventures begins in the beautiful Museum Gardens with the incredible remains of St. Mary’s abbey, then winds you through the city’s historic walls, in and out of its unique snickelways, down the famous Shambles and back to the iconic Minster. During your Quest you might discover York’s secret cats, learn about a quirky collector and where Roald Dahl received some inspiration and, as one of the most haunted places in Europe, hear a ghost story or two!
