Frequently asked questions

Where does the West Bridgford walk start and finish?
It starts at Trent Bridge and is a loop, finishing at Trent Bridge's High Water Marks, close to where you began. On the way you pass the Trent End, the Trent Bridge Inn, County Hall, Old Trent Bridge and Wilford Suspension Bridge.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers 3.6 km through West Bridgford and along the River Trent. You can pause at any point and pick up where you left off later.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it is tagged as a family favourite and a squad challenge, so it works well for school-age children who enjoy solving clues as a team. The puzzles are based on what you see at each stop, and the two-hour walk may be long for very young children.
Do we need to pay or book a time slot?
No. The quest is free to play and there is no time slot to book. Open it on your phone and start whenever suits you, as a couple, family or group of friends, with no guide or tour group to meet.
Is it an outdoor walk, and can we do it in the rain?
The route is outdoors, following streets, gardens and the riverside past bridges and monuments. You can play in light rain if you dress for it, and because you can pause and continue later, it is easy to stop for shelter and carry on afterwards.
