The experience

About this quest

For this Christmas edition of the quest, as well as following the trail of the mysterious archer and learning about a very old historic game involving a parrot, with each step along the way, you’ll also unlock a beautiful film extract of the very famous ‘The Night Before Christmas’. You’ll learn some Christmas recipes and find a bar or café along the way. Lots of Christmas trivia and of course the chance to do a little Christmas shopping in the historic centre of the city. 

Is this for you?

Who it's for
