• 4Enjoyed this quest.

  Overall we enjoyed this quest. Most of the clues worked, and it made for an interesting walk around the main sights of Birmingham. We enjoyed discovering some of the hidden facts about the past. On the down side we found it very time consuming to register on the app and unlock the quest. There were a couple of glitches in the app that meant it didn’t recognise a correct answer which wasted time (we reported these). Overall I would recommend. Not suitable for young children as the facts involve murder and suicide.

About Birmingham

Birmingham is England's second city, a Midlands centre of canals, Victorian civic buildings, jewellery workshops and Pre-Raphaelite art.

Birmingham grew from a market town into a city of a thousand trades during the Industrial Revolution, and its canals, which fan out from the basin at Gas Street, still thread through the centre lined with bars and restored warehouses. Victoria Square has the Council House and the Town Hall, the Library of Birmingham stands beside Centenary Square, and the Bullring shopping centre sits below the spire of St Martin's Church.

Top-ranked sights in Birmingham: Chamberlain Square, Birmingham Town Hall, Centenary Square.
