Overview
Aberdeen's granite streets have been holding stories for 6,000 years — now it's your turn to find them.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through the Granite City on foot, following phone-based riddles from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Spot the Music Hall, Aberdeen Maritime Museum, and Aberdeen Art Gallery up close — with clues that reveal what the signs don't say
• Start whenever suits you, go at your own pace, and take as long as you like — there's no time limit
• Great for families, friend groups, and colleagues; photo challenges guarantee some memorable group moments
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.
Aberdeen has been hiding stories in plain sight for centuries — your phone has the first one.

It was a wonderfully enjoyable and humorous experience for the two of us. The information provided was easy to grasp, and we formed a positive initial impression of the city.
