About
This game takes players to some of the most impressive landmarks in Norwich. You'll visit important Medieval and Tudor sites. You'll also discover a few hidden gems and hear some fascinating stories. You play the part of a 16th-century 'Stranger', who has just arrived in the city. During this walk you can imagine what it must have been like for them. As you solve challenges, the story unfolds and exact directions on your phone will guide you to the next location. Ready for an adventure?
We recommend doing this walk in daylight, between 7:30 and 6:30 when the cathedral is open.
After your booking, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download and play the game on your phone. We recommend that each user purchases a ticket for an optimal experience, although several people can share a phone.

It started off well and was interesting. However, when you reach the cathedral the instructions are not clear enough and you lose internet connectivity.
Also, the route took me through Norwich School which was a prohibited route. The groundsman jokingly said that this happens all the time.
Please fix the routes for the next customer. I loved the historical knowledge however.

I was pleasantly surprised. Make sure you set the app up and download the files before you leave, but it was overall a great experience. If you're in a group, it's a good idea to have someone who's comfortable reading out all the information.

Fun and easy to follow.
Good instructions with the option to follow the map (using GPS).
The questions weren't so hard you give up either!
A great way to see a city.
This one was our local city where we've been shopping a million times but this took us to places we didn't know existed.
We will definitely do other places

A fun and easy way to explore the sites of Norwich, with instructions which were easy to follow. We were a group of 8, but only paid for one download, which worked fine.

I did this Questo during a weekend in Norwich, after I enjoyed the one in Colchester earlier this year. We learnt so much about the Strangers, but also about Norwich and walked along some lovely streets too.
