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

Southampton

Calling all slippery spies! Former dock worker turned modern-day maritime pirate, Stevie Dorr, and his gang of hoodlums are wreaking havoc in Southampton. They're taking advantage of the double tides to target unsuspecting cruise ship patrons and steal their valuables. But now, as newly recruited members of the Maritime Intelligence Security Team (MIST), it's up to YOU to put an end to their criminal activities.

Spy Mission Through Southampton's Old City and Walls

Your self-guided mission will lead you on a thrilling adventure through Southampton's Old City, where you'll spot Tudor houses and inns as you make your way to the ancient medieval walls that date back to 1200. But beware, Dorr is always on the lookout, so stay alert and stick to the shadows as you crack the vital code back at the Bargate.

This mission is TOP SECRET, and we need you to be at your best! We believe MIST agent Ann Carraway managed to secure the activation code for the tracker on Dorr's high-speed RIB boat before she was found in suspicious circumstances. Now it's up to YOU to solve the clues she left behind and identify the code to finally put an end to Dorr's maritime mayhem.

Do YOU have what it takes to save Southampton? The city is counting on you!
