The experience

About this quest

Experience the sights, smells, and sounds of picturesque Royal Green Park in a royalty & military-themed quest to find The Drained Battery.

It's all about exercise and a beautiful walk as you solve simple clues & learn about the local inhabitants that have risen, and fallen, in the park whilst also taking in Marble Arch, St James’s and Buckingham Palace!

An exciting couples, family, wheelchair & buggy-friendly journey to discover a rich history amongst central London's greenest oasis.

The route starts at the Statue of Goddess Diana water fountain (pic 5 in the gallery) situated just inside the park, on the southeast side of Green Park Underground Station.

Are you ready for a stroll with a difference?

Note: From previous players’ feedback, it’s definitely worth taking water and a snack to have along the way; there’s a supermarket and other food & drink shops right by the underground station.

Loved the facts and seeing the funky water fountain!" - Emma

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families, couples and visitors drawn to royal and military history get a 2.5 km walk through Green Park, passing St James's Palace, Buckingham Palace and the Bomber Command and Canada memorials while solving simple clues. Allow about two hours at an easy pace. Much of the story centres on war memorials and lives lost, so anyone after a light sightseeing stroll or a live guide to quiz should pick something else.
