Pass By: Town Hall Birmingham, Town Hall Victoria Square, Birmingham B3 3DQ England
Hello, traveller! Your Questo adventure begins here in Birmingham, starting from Birmingham Town Hall! Situated in Victoria Square, this place is not just a regular town hall, but one that embraces art in all its forms : jazz, folk, rock, pop or dance. During the break of a meeting with the council administration, you can sure feast your eyes and ears on a performance. But this friendly, cultural hub hides some dark secrets! Are you up for it?

Pass By: The Magnet Centre Banqueting Suite in Birmingham, Magnet Centre Park Approach Park Approach, Birmingham B23 7SJ England
Congratulations! Let’s celebrate your advancement at The Magnet Centre Banqueting Suite in Birmingham! After all the walk, a little banquet with lots of food and dancing may be the right thing to do. We heard that it is a VIP party, only Questo explorers allowed. Hold on, before going further you need to find the code and we will raise a glass of champagne at the end of the game!
Pass By: Gas Street Basin Gas Street, Birmingham B1 2JT England
Are you hearing the sound of paddles splashing water? The buzz of people enjoying their afternoon? Then, you most likely reached the Gas Street Basin of central Birmingham. This is a canal where you can cruise down, seeing the gems of the city while contemplating your quite thoughts. It illustrates a rich and colourful scenery of how life would have been during the industrial days.
Nevertheless, while you are contemplating, search around you to find the clue that is missing. Perhaps, it sunk down the canal or maybe it’s right in front of you.
Pass By: Bullring & Grand Central Birmingham, Birmingham B5 4BU England
Well, well! You reached the middle of your quest. Being the showcase of Birmingham’s retail therapy offerings, Bullring is one of the UK’s most visited shopping centres located in the very heart of the city. Even though you will not see real life bulls in here, it is still an exciting place, especially when the discounts period is around the corner! So, don’t waste your time and answer the question to advance!
Pass By: Grand Central, 68A East Mews, Birmingham B2 4XJ England
Connected to the Bullring via a link bridge, the Grand Central is another eye-candy shopping center. Check your immediate surroundings to solve the challenge and we will treat to some shopping therapy after the game is over!
Pass By: ICC Mall, The International Convention Centre Centenary Sq., Birmingham B1 2DY England
ICC Mall is the next destination - an enjoyable place that runs through the International Convention Centre. This venue is well known for its performances: here you can enjoy all sorts of events, from conferences to concerts. Once here, you will get indications on how to continue your game, while also learning about the story of the place you have just discovered.
Pass By: The Mailbox, 7 Commercial Street, Birmingham B1 1RS England
Something tells you received an important mail, but it is not on Gmail or Yahoo, but in The Mailbox - a high-class shopping and office development in the heart of Birmingham. This site was the location of the Royal Mail's main sorting office building for Birmingham, hence its current name. Nowadays, they don’t sort envelopes anymore, but rather an exquisite edit of brands.
And that’s not all, here you can find the main office of BBC Birmingham, as well as accommodation on one of the wo world-class hotels: the ‘oasis of luxury’ at Malmaison and the AC Hotel. Look around you and see what mysteries Questo has in store for you!
Pass By: Hall of Memory, Centenary Sq., Birmingham B1 2DY England
You are now headed to the Hall of Memory - a war memorial in Centenary Square, Birmingham that commemorates the citizens that lost their lives during the tragic events of WW1. The interior features three carved bas-relief plaques, each having a symbolic significance: the Call - the departure to war, the Front Line - the fighting and the Return - the arrival home of the wounded.
Birmingham was a city that was very much impacted by the World Wars and Birmingham Blitz has earned its place in history. Even though you are not among the ruins right now, dig up the mystery and find out more about this place!
Pass By: Victoria Square, Birmingham B1 1BD England
Birmingham has many public squares, and Victoria Square is arguably its most famous one. And what any other way to finish the city exploration game than in a fastous way?
Named after Queen Victoria, this central area of the city houses the grand Council House, the city’s town hall and welcomes one of the biggest Christmas markets in the world to its streets each winter. This iconic place has a vast history, evolved ingeniously during the centuries, so you can enjoy the best version of it in the present! Without further ado, solve the last one so you can call yourself a true Questo explorer!

We had a great time completing the quest in Birmingham. The quiz starts at a really convenient place and took us into some truly beautiful spots we never would have visited without! We found the quest just the right amount of difficulty and it reminds me of a live version of the board game betrayal at house on the hill! Would definitely recommendIreneagom

I did the tour with my boyfriend and it was such a fun way of getting to know Birmingham (it was our first time there)! The suggested time for this activity is 90 minutes, but we don't think that's enough unless you really rush things; we took 120 minutes. Also, because of the coronavirus, the ICC was closed, so we couldn't complete that mission; it's just a letter, so just put a random one until you get it right! We recommend it! 😊
