Liverpool Ghost Hunt: Paranormal Detective Self-Guided Game
Itinerary
Ma Egerton's Stage Door
Pass by
Welcome to one of the greatest adventures in Liverpool! Rise to the challenge and start your journey with courage from Ma Egerton's Stage Door. This is a pub built in 1846, whose name comes from the longest-serving landlady, Mary Egerton, who ran the pub in an enthusiastic way.
In a time of bustling theatres, picture houses and other related film and entertainment businesses, Miss Egerton was entertaining many icon performers, such as: Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin or Harry Houdini. Word has it that she was involved in the case of the Victorian mass murderer, Dr. Crippen. You must investigate the place for evidence and answer the questions!
St. George's Hall
Pass by
Now it’s time to reach St. George's Hall - one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world and testament to Liverpool's heritage list. St. George’s Hall is unique in combining a concert hall and law courts, as we know by now that Liverpool folks like to sprinkle a little bit of art in everything they do.
Yet many people are still to discover the building’s mysterious past and the stories dating back to a dark history. The secrets are buried deep underground, in the cells below the grandness of the Great Hall, where those waiting to be condemned would spend their final moments. Bring those secrets to the surface and look around you to find the answer and advance!
Playhouse Theatre
Pass by
Let’s play together at the Liverpool Playhouse, a well-known theatre in Williamson Square that acted as a launching pad for many famous actors, such as Anthony Hopkins, Richard Bird and Diana Wynyard.
Liverpool’s theatres have their fair share of ghost stories, but are they just stories or is there more to it? Get on the stage and play your role! While doing so, check your immediate surroundings because the answer may be next to you!
Queen Victoria Monument
Pass by
Here comes the Queen Victoria Monument, a large neo-Baroque and Beaux-Arts monument built in Derby Square. The central figure of Queen Victoria is surrounded by four groups of clustered pillars, each bearing at the top an allegorical group, with a summit figure of Victory.
You can sense that strange aura that drew you to this place, so continue your exploration to uncover its mystery and advance to your final destination!
Eleanor Rigby Statue
Pass by
You are close to the end of the game, but before that, let us introduce Liverpool as the birthplace of The Beatles, the rock band that still sends you chills down the spine with their songs. And in an attempt to celebrate their worldwide success, an entertainer named Tommy Steele built a statue as tribute to the Beatles.
It is called the Eleanor Rigby statue and it is dedicated to “All the lonely people…”, as it is inscripted near the monument. Don’t let the Beatles down and discover this last mystery, so you can call yourself a true Questo explorer!

Fun! After dark history tour
We came as a family to Liverpool, and we’re looking for things to do. Took a chance on this one, and we were pleasantly surprised how much fun it was. Luckily, I had young adult and teenage kids with me to push us along. It requires a lot of walking, which might be harder for older patrons. We loved it though, and had fun learning about the history of haunted Liverpool and Liverpool in general. We got to see things and learn about things we probably wouldn’t have if we didn’t download this app. Stuff!
Operator response
Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience in Liverpool! Delighted to hear you and your family had a blast exploring and learning about the city's history. Kudos to the young team for keeping the energy up. Your adventurous spirit is what it's all about! Can't wait to have you on more explorations.

Questo Ghost Hunt
The directions were easy to follow, although some of the answers to the puzzles a bit obscure, however you can always ask for clues... On the whole good fun that got us walking around the city centre and seeing things we wouldn't have otherwise.

Great
Very fun, the rain made it even more atmospheric 👻 🌧
The bluecoat gates are closed during the night so it's a little difficult to solve the clue.

Great way to explore the city and learn about its spooky past!
Wow, what a fab way to explore the city and learn about the history of its buildings and spooky past. It was great fun from start to finish. We even got to stop at pubs we wouldn’t have known existed unless we’d done the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to do another one
