To crack this case you'll need to explore the sinful side of Southwark with a little help from three authors who knew it well: Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens. This mystery will take you from Shakespeare's Globe to Borough Market and beyond in a hunt that uncovers the historic playhouses, pubs and prostitutes that made these streets the playground of London. Along the way you'll be faced with riddles and puzzles aplenty. A fun adventure for the cunning, the curious, friends and families. Team sizes from two upwards. If you don't have a team you can join one at the start. The hunt lasts about three hours. At the end groups are welcome to join us for drinks at The George Inn.
