Over three hours, you'll hunt for clues, solve riddles and unlock hidden corners most visitors miss, earning points as you go. Start whenever daylight permits—no fixed groups, no rushed schedules. The self-guided format means you control the pace: linger over a coffee, sprint for the leaderboard, or find your rhythm in between.

What to expect
Download the GQA app before you arrive and you're ready to begin whenever suits you. Each location presents a puzzle or challenge to crack; solving it unlocks the next waypoint and awards points. You'll see Chester's famous architecture and streets, but also slip into quieter corners and details that rushed tours gloss over. The experience works equally well as a casual wander with café stops or as a competitive dash through the city. Daylight hours required, and you can pause, restart or ditch the leaderboard entirely.
