About Edinburgh: City of Wizards Outdoor Exploration Game
City of Wizards turns Edinburgh's Old Town into a puzzle trail. You play as Eladora, a young witch returning home to find out why her city has forgotten magic, solving clues on your phone as you walk to 11 locations, including the café where J.K. Rowling wrote, places said to have inspired Hogwarts and the grave of Tom Riddle.
The game starts at 253 High Street by the City Chambers, covers about 2.7 km and takes 60 to 90 minutes. You can play at any time of day, in English, and under-12s must be with an adult. One ticket covers one device, so groups may want a ticket each. It makes an easy, low-cost family activity between visits to Edinburgh's Christmas markets.
Hotels on and around the Royal Mile are steps from the starting point.
