Leeds - Interactive Treasure Hunt & Exploration Game for up to 5

Leeds Central Library is the starting point for an interactive treasure hunt and exploration game that turns the city centre into a puzzle. It's a self-guided urban adventure, billed as part treasure hunt and part outdoor escape room, so you're not just walking a route — you're working through it. You follow the Go Quest Adventures app, which leads you past the city's famous sights and some of its better-hidden gems, with clues and challenges to solve and fun facts to unlock as you go. Once you've finished, there's a city Leader Board where you can see how you place against other players.

The whole thing runs for about 2.2 miles and takes roughly two and a half to three hours to complete. It's recommended for ages 10 and over, and children under 16 need adult supervision. The app is in English only. Because it's self-guided, the date and time are completely flexible — you play whenever you like, so it's easy to fit around a weekend or a day off.

The starting point, Leeds Central Library on Calverley Street, is a bit of a landmark in its own right. It occupies the former Municipal Buildings, which date from 1879-1884 and were designed by George Corson. The interior is full of detailed carvings by John Wormald Appleyard, including an alabaster arch by Farmer & Brindley, so the Victorian grandeur and intricate stonework are there to see before you head out into the streets.

Tickets start from £28.95, and one ticket covers up to five people, so if you're going with a group of five or fewer, you only need the one. If you've got more than five, you'll need two or more tickets.
