Birmingham Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
See more
Birmingham invented the industrial revolution, then had to reinvent itself — it's still not done.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through central Birmingham on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow clues to the Library of Birmingham, the Walk of Stars, and Birmingham Cathedral — three landmarks that span from Europe's largest public library to a 300-year-old Baroque church
• Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure
• Works brilliantly for families, friend groups, and city-curious travellers; photo challenges along Broad Street add a competitive edge
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
Britain's second city has been underselling itself for years — your phone is about to put that right.
