Look closer.
Move smarter.

Edinburgh’s closes, courtyards and hidden histories become part of a live operation. You will not follow a tour guide or watch from the sidelines.

You will read the streets, act on intelligence and decide what your team does next.

Field notes

Know before you go.

The essentials, without compromising the mission.

What exactly is a Monarch Mission?

It is a live, self-propelled outdoor experience that turns Edinburgh into your gameboard. Your team receives a mission, follows intelligence through the city and makes decisions together to complete a clear objective.

How long does a mission take?

Allow approximately two hours for the mission itself. We recommend arriving early enough to receive your briefing and get your team ready before the clock starts.

Is it an escape room?

Not quite. There is no single room and no fixed route. You will move through real streets and hidden corners of Edinburgh, using clues, live updates and your own judgement to progress.

How physical is the experience?

Expect a city-centre walking experience with periods of brisk movement. Hunted is the most active mission. Tell the team about accessibility or mobility requirements when enquiring so the right experience can be recommended.
