What to expect

No guide, no fixed start time. • Climb the mound to Clifford's Tower, the castle's stone survivor • Stand beneath York Minster, northern Europe's Gothic masterpiece • Squeeze through the Shambles, the medieval street that time forgot 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.
