Roam the frightful streets of Edinburgh and face the mischievous ghosts that haunt them in this immersive outdoor Halloween experience.
About this Event

Do you have what it takes to spend a spine-tingling Halloween evening outdoors, on the dark side of your city, haunted by restless ghosts and menacing ghouls?

Undertake a journey through the most haunted places in the city where you'll learn the horrifying tales of all the disturbed spirits who still reside there. You will discover the legends behind frightful streets, creepy buildings, monuments and more verifiable ghost-sighting hotspots where ghostly apparitions have been seen, eerie sounds heard, and people have vanished without a trace.

Follow clues, solve puzzles in your surroundings and compete against friends or hundreds of other teams! This experience is part outdoor escape room-style game, part scavenger hunt and part walking tour. A combo which will leave you shivering.

The experience will play out like you’re the main characters of a horror story — only you’re experiencing everything in the first person!

Frightening dialogue, bone-chilling intrigue and petrifying twists are guaranteed.

You can join the experience anytime after 12 PM between October 30th and November 2nd. Scary costumes are very much recommended, but they’re optional. You can go at your own pace or against the clock and compete with friends or other teams.
