What Can I Expect
Manchester Food Puzzle Game with FoodEscapes! This is a deliciously different way to explore the city with your favourite foodies. Forget basic walking tours and prepare for a self-guided adventure through the heart of Manchester. Using just your smartphone and WhatsApp, you’ll receive a series of cryptic clues that lead you across the city.
You will start your journey at Circle Square, ready to put your observational skills to the test. Every clue is based on your immediate surroundings, from architectural details to hidden street art. Solving these puzzles is the only way to unlock the locations of three carefully curated restaurant stops. Each venue is a local independent gem, chosen specifically for its high-quality and satisfying "comfort food."
Whether you are a local or just visiting, you will find yourself noticing things about the city you’ve never seen before. The game is timed to add a competitive edge, but there is no need to rush your meal. The clock automatically pauses at every food stop, allowing you to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. It is the perfect balance of brain-teasing fun and indulgent dining in a social setting.
The route takes you on a scenic path through the city, eventually concluding in the vibrant Northern Quarter. Once you’ve finished, you can check the leaderboard to see how your team’s puzzle-solving prowess compares to others. This experience is completely flexible, meaning you can take it at your own pace and enjoy the scenery. There are no apps to download or physical hosts to meet, making it a stress-free day out.
It is a fantastic choice for families with older children or groups of friends looking for something unique. Get ready to eat, explore, and solve your way through the streets of Manchester.
