HiddenCity Announces MIND OF THE MAKERr, a brand new Waterside London City Trail

Cryptic city trail innovator HiddenCity has today announced Mind of the Maker, a real world adventure along London's waterways. In this latest game, teams will solve clues, deliver codewords and uncover secret locations as they go in search of the makers of the city, from ancient architects to ice cream artisans. Mind of the Maker is available to play from 29 September 2016, with tickets on sale now.

Teams of up to four will be guided by the mysterious and sometimes mischievous Wayland, a mythical Norse craftsman, who will send clues to your phone. Wayland will challenge teams to think like a maker does, as you discover "ice empires, lyrical scents and fiery ice cream".

A three-hour cryptic challenge starting in King's Cross, teams can choose to explore at a leisurely pace or unleash their competitive side in a bid for top ranking on the HiddenCity leaderboard.

Wayland is a mythical Norse craftsman, a visionary metalsmith, once sought by gods and kings alike. But he fears that the age of the makers has now past.

To find out, Wayland invites you on a trail of cryptic clues, to see if you can think like a maker.

Your challenge is to carve the ice trail across London, inspired by creators from Victorian times, culminating at a crafty drinkery... one most fitting of your challenge.

Don't let him down: he has no time for idle minds.

Succeed, and Wayland's name shall grant you access to the legacy of ice empires, lyrical scents and frozen fiery cream. Rise to the gods, and perhaps drink with them too.

Each clue is delivered via text message and directs participants to a hidden location within walking distance, and asks a specific question about the surroundings. If participants reply with the correct answer they receive the next clue. In Mind of the Maker, explorers interact with the real world, chatting to locals, meeting craftsmen and asking for help in unexpected places.

HiddenCity was created by two brothers who wanted to organise an alternative city experience for friends. HiddenCity now has trails operating in London, Manchester, Brighton and York.
