The experience
About this quest
Step into Beverley and track the movements of a missing businessman who was seen across town, yet never truly found.
Follow a route through historic sites like the Minster, Guildhall, and market, uncovering clues tied to old sanctuary laws and forgotten practices.
As sightings form a pattern, you’ll piece together a method hidden in plain sight. This is a grounded investigation shaped by the town itself, where history isn’t background, but the key to the case.

Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples, friends and families with older children can track a missing businessman past the Minster, Guildhall and Market Place, solving puzzles in what they see. It suits locals and day-trippers from Hull wanting a story-led outing rather than a plain heritage walk, taking around 90 minutes over 1.7 km. The route is walked outdoors with no live guide, so rainy-day seekers and those wanting someone to question should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a good Halloween activity in Beverley?
It makes a good seasonal outing: a mystery about a businessman who was seen across town yet never truly found, with clues tied to old sanctuary laws and forgotten practices. It is not a timed event, so you can start any day you like, around Halloween or at any other time of year.
Where does the trail start and finish?
It starts at The Sun Inn and finishes at North Bar Gate, so it does not return to the start. Along the way you pass Beverley Minster, the Treasure House, the Guildhall, Market Place, St Marys Church, the White Horse Inn, Memorial Gardens and Coronation Garden, about 1.7 km in total.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take around an hour and a half, including the 1.7 km of walking and the puzzles along the route. You can pause whenever you like and pick up the investigation again later, so there is no need to rush between stops.
Is it suitable for children?
It works best for families with older children who can follow a detective story and enjoy solving puzzles set in the real places in front of them. Younger children may find a walk and puzzle session of around 90 minutes too long to stay interested.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no time slot to book, no group to join and no guide to meet. You start on your phone whenever you are ready at The Sun Inn, and one ticket covers the whole group playing together.
