They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

We've got a mission for you in

Aberdeen

International man of mystery, 'Secret Squiggle,' is meeting with another spy outside Harlaw Academy to exchange some valuable information. However, he can't remember if the secret passphrase he has to use is "Parakeets stole my doughnut" or "These ducks don't like trifle". He needs to look it up before his rendezvous, but he's also forgotten the passcode to his smartphone. What a terrible agent! He's sure that his favourite spots around Aberdeen's West End will help crack the code through the process of elimination, but Spy HQ isn't confident he's the man for the job! We need you - our TOP Agents - to solve the Clues, crack the code and jog Squiggle's memory. Stay alert - we can't let any enemy Agents intercept the code and learn the top-secret intel!

The Aberdeen Spy Trail Through the West End

Get ready for an exciting self-guided Spy Trail that will take you on an adventure through the historic and scenic streets of Aberdeen's West End. As you explore Union Street, Union Terrace, and the surrounding areas, you'll come across hidden clues that will help you piece together the secret passphrase.

But be careful-Squiggle's memory may be hazy, but he's sure that the passphrase is hidden among his favourite spots, including Harlaw Academy, Rubislaw Den, and Johnston Gardens. As you follow the trail, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden in plain sight.

Do YOU have what it takes to crack the code and help Secret Squiggle complete his mission?
