Be comfortable

Adventure is much more fun when your feet aren’t staging a protest. Wear comfy shoes, dress for the weather and check the forecast before you head out.

If it’s warm, take some water. If rain looks likely, bring something waterproof. Come prepared for exploring, wandering and the occasional unexpected detour.

Bring your phone

Your phone is your guide, puzzle master and key to adventure. Make sure it’s fully charged before you set off. A power bank is a good idea for longer adventures, and keep an eye on your battery as you go.

You’ll play in the PuzzleDuck app. Have a connection available to open the hunt and sync your progress.

Look up, watch where you’re walking and stay aware of roads, other people and everything happening around you.

Accessibility

Contact us before buying if you need route-specific accessibility information.

We want as many people as possible to enjoy a PuzzleDuck adventure. Real towns and cities can change: roadworks, events, closed ramps or lifts and other temporary obstacles may affect access.

If you encounter a barrier, use a safe, suitable alternative where possible and contact us if you need help. If you have particular accessibility needs, get in touch before buying so we can help you choose a hunt. Please also tell us about anything we could improve.

About this hunt

Georgian doorways, bold public art and echoes of the sea—all tucked among Liverpool’s lively city-centre streets.

This app-guided treasure hunt takes you through the Ropewalks district and into the heart of the shopping quarter, uncovering the unexpected along the way. Explore a neighbourhood where elegant old buildings, independent businesses and bustling squares sit alongside quieter spaces with stories to tell.

Discover reminders of remarkable residents, Liverpool’s seafaring past and a city changed by war. Look out for intricate ironwork, striking sculptures and grand architecture that deserves more than a passing glance. From atmospheric ruins to streets buzzing with life, the changing surroundings are part of the adventure.

Let the app guide you as you solve puzzles, examine details and put your team’s ideas together. An inscription, a decorative feature or something you’d normally walk straight past might hold the answer.

Whether you’re exploring with family, meeting up with friends or planning a date with a difference, bring your curiosity and discover another side of central Liverpool.

Busy streets. Unexpected stories. What will you uncover?
