Highlights
Hello, traveller! Your Questo adventure begins here in Birmingham, starting from Birmingham Town Hall! Situated in Victoria Square, this place is not just a regular town hall, but one that embraces art in all its forms : jazz, folk, rock, pop or dance. During the break of a meeting with the council administration, you can sure feast your eyes and ears on a performance. But this friendly, cultural hub hides some dark secrets! Are you up for it? Check your surroundings to find the clue and advance.
Congratulations! Let’s celebrate your advancement at The Magnet Centre Banqueting Suite in Birmingham! After all the walk, a little banquet with lots of food and dancing may be the right thing to do. We heard that it is a VIP party, only Questo explorers allowed. Hold on, before going further you need to find the code and we will raise a glass of champagne at the end of the game!
Are you hearing the sound of paddles splashing water? The buzz of people enjoying their afternoon? Then, you most likely reached the Gas Street Basin of central Birmingham. This is a canal where you can cruise down, seeing the gems of the city while contemplating your quite thoughts. It illustrates a rich and colourful scenery of how life would have been during the industrial days. Nevertheless, while you are contemplating, search around you to find the clue that is missing. Perhaps, it sunk down the canal or maybe it’s right in front of you.
