WHY HIDDENCITY?
WHERE
IS YOUR
THE CITY
PLAYGROUND
We created HiddenCity because we see a world that is full of wonder, and we want to help people explore and enjoy it.
As children we spend our time playing, discovering, and learning new things. Everything is a puzzle. Every new discovery is a joy. And every day is an adventure that we treasure where we make new memories.
But as adults, we settle into routines - working more and playing less. We've spent enough time sitting at a desk, inside & isolated from our friends. It's time to play again.
Our games are games for grown-ups - to get outside, with a partner or a team, and play together. Solve puzzles, follow clues, and make decisions which decide your fate - a real-world choose your own adventure.
Unlike run-of-the-mill escape rooms & treasure hunts, we've created interactive & immersive new chapters of your favourite stories - where the choices you make affect the journey take, and the city is your playground...

5 REASONS TO TRY HIDDENCITY
1. Memorable experiences, made with love
10,000 hours is what they say it takes to achieve mastery, and you have to love what you do to spend that much time doing it...
We’re proud to have spent nearly 10 years - and closer to 100,000 hours - developing & refining our games; from guided tours, to treasure hunts, to fully immersive real-world adventure games.
We love what we do because we get to give people experiences to remember. There is nothing like this (as far as we know) anywhere else in the world.
2. (Re)discover London
We're called HiddenCity for a reason. You'll uncover off-the-beaten track locations, some of which you might pass every single day, without even realising they are there.
We've walked almost every street in London over the past 10 years, to help us craft the routes for you to explore.
3. Bring people together
If there's anything we've learnt in the last few years, it's the important of spending time with one and other.
Our games are designed so you can play in groups from 2 to 200+. You can have up to 6 people in single team or multiple teams competing.
Whatever you choose, the outcome is the same - we bring people together, to get outside for a shared experience.
4. Lose yourself in an immersive adventure
You might hear it a lot but what does 'immersive' actually mean? You’ve watched stories on tv, read them in a book, seen them at the theatre or the cinema.
But have you ever really become part of the story before?
In a HiddenCity game you interact with the characters through phone calls and text messages, and solve clues & puzzles before finding out what happens next.
The decisions you make, affect the journey you take, as well as the ending. That's what 'immersive' means to us.
5. Move your body, challenge your brain
Excitement, adrenaline, endorphins. Intrigue, satisfaction, dopamine...
It's well known that walking improves physical & mental wellbeing - but did you know that solving puzzles and clues releases dopamine - the feel good hormone?
When you combine this, with an immersive, engaging story, we think something special happens...
