About this quest

A questo for game and puzzle lovers who would like to explore famous London landmarks, and hidden history in the side streets around the London monopoly locations. 

You can do this at your own pace, stopping whenever you want at the locations you discover, and with the option to resume at any time. There is plenty to explore in Soho, Mayfair, Piccadilly and Leicester & Trafalgar Square.  

As an added bonus, at each location you will also receive a new game recommendation, to take your gaming beyond Monopoly!   

This Questo is of intermediate difficulty. If you are looking for a harder challenge you might enjoy Elle Silver and the Merchant Explorer which explores Temple and St Paul's.
