The experience
About this quest
A lost film masterpiece is hidden on London's South Bank, but a ruthless producer seeks to destroy it. Your mission: follow cryptic clues and solve puzzles across iconic cinematic locations. The trail leads you to classic film settings, including the Tate Modern, scene of a dramatic Mission: Impossible escape, the Millennium Bridge, attacked by Dementors in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and the Globe Tavern, home to Bridget Jones. Are you ready to start your blockbuster adventure?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Film fans and families with school-age children who want to stand where Harry Potter, Mission: Impossible and Bridget Jones were filmed will enjoy this 2.4 km South Bank trail. You follow clues and solve medium-level puzzles from Tate Modern and the Millennium Bridge to The Shard in around 75 minutes. Anyone wanting a live guide to quiz about filming details, or a mostly indoor outing, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a self-guided London tour I can play on an app?
Yes. You play on your phone with no guide and no group to join. The app leads you from stop to stop, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle there. Alongside the film locations, the route passes historic sites such as Shakespeare's Globe, The Clink, The Golden Hinde and The Old Operating Theatre.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Tate Modern and finishes at The Shard, so it is a one-way route rather than a loop. In between you cross the Millennium Bridge and pass Shakespeare's Globe, The Anchor, The Clink, The Golden Hinde, The Globe Tavern, The George and The Old Operating Theatre, about 2.4 km in total.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take around 75 minutes, which includes the walking and the puzzles. You can start any time you like, pause along the way for a drink or a look around, and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is tagged family friendly, with puzzles at medium difficulty that you solve using what is in front of you. School-age children who enjoy films and clue hunting usually get the most out of it, while younger children may need an adult to help with the puzzles and the 2.4 km walk.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together on the route. There is no fixed time slot to book, so you can start whenever suits you and go at your own pace between Tate Modern and The Shard.
