Puzzle Trail

The Missing Flatmate

Liverpool, present day

Alex has been talking about finding something, but he’s never told you what. Now he’s been away for three days, and a cryptic postcard sends you to his desk. Inside the top drawer: a collection of photographs and a locked file. He’s left you something to follow. Explore Liverpool, solve the puzzles he left behind and discover what he was looking for.

How to play

A story to unravel and a city to explore. This puzzle trail takes you out into Liverpool, where the places around you are part of the mystery.

Bring your phone, your curiosity and a keen eye. You’ll need to visit the city in person to solve the puzzles.

Take your time. Explore at your own pace, stop for a break and return to the mystery when you’re ready.

Before you set out

The trail is designed to be explored on foot through Liverpool. Bring a charged phone with internet access and comfortable shoes.

Allow 2–3 hours to explore and solve the puzzles, with extra time if you’d like to stop along the way.

The game is still in development. Details of the starting point and route will be available here before you begin.
