Description

Go Quest Adventures is turning the streets of New Town Edinburgh into an Adventure Playground! Welcome to Edinburgh’s New Town! Built between 1767 and 1850 as a response to overcrowding in the medieval Old Town, Edinburgh’s New Town has flourished and is a tribute to urban town planning with its elegant Neo-Classical architecture, grand squares, terraces and beautiful gardens. Explore the streets of New Town as your team unlocks a hidden trail by finding clues, solving puzzles & completing challenges, earning points along the way all self-guided through the Go Quest Adventures app. See the area's highlights, explore it's hidden gems and learn some insider history and fun facts along the way (even locals will discover something new!). As the Quest is self guided you can: * Start your Quest whenever you want, get instant access with nothing to print off from home * Go as fast as you want and try to top the leaderboard, or go at your own pace, stopping for rest breaks along the way. Your Quest will take you on a journey back in time to an age of elegance but with an updated modern twist. Your Quest will begin with far reaching views across the city from Calton Hill then wind you through the Georgian streets and beautiful Princes Street Gardens ending at the iconic St Andrews Square. Along the way, you and your team will be involved in solving puzzles and completing challenges as you discover all that makes Edinburgh New Town the ‘Athens of the North’. So put down the whisky, lace up your boots and get ready to explore the sights, discover hidden gems and ultimately, conquer your New Town Quest. This is an ideal outdoor activity for couples, families, groups of friends, school groups and can be the perfect team building or corporate activity.
