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.

What to expect
The route winds through Aberdeen's grey-granite centre. At the Music Hall on Union Street, a riddle asks you to look closely at the Victorian façade for a detail most people walk past every day. Outside the Aberdeen Maritime Museum, a photo challenge puts you and the group to work with the harbour behind you. The Aberdeen Art Gallery brings an observation task that rewards anyone who looks up rather than straight ahead. The pace is entirely your own — Aberdeen's compact centre means you can pause, take a detour, or grab a coffee between stops.
You'll quickly find a rhythm of competing and collaborating — some clues are solved fastest alone, others need the whole group debating.
When the last task is complete, the app shows final scores and a ranking. You'll leave knowing the Granite City's streets better than most visitors manage in a full day.
