Southampton Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

Titanic farewells, Tudor timber and medieval walls — Southampton holds more history than its port lets on. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Southampton on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Step back 500 years at the Tudor House and Garden • Trace the Watergate Ruin, remnant of the medieval town's sea defences • Test your eye at the Southampton City Art Gallery's grand facade Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. The gateway to the world becomes a playground.

Starting at General Gordon's Memorial on Queens Terrace, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head for the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. Tudor House and Garden opens the hunt — Southampton's finest timber-framed survivor, layering 800 years of stories behind one crooked facade. Riddles poke into every era. The Watergate Ruin follows, a fragment of the medieval walls where cargo and kings once entered the town. Trivia rebuilds the ramparts in your imagination. At the Southampton City Art Gallery, clues linger over the columned Civic Centre facade and the collection behind it. Expect around two hours from waterfront to walls. When the last answer lands, the leaderboard decides bragging rights over the Solent.
