Overview

London, 1942. Amid the glamour of the West End and the echoes of war, a spirited showgirl named Lacey Biggins is about to step into a far more dangerous spotlight. When whispers of a spy plot surface, she’s thrust into an undercover mission that could change the course of the war.

Follow Lacey’s footsteps through London’s historic heart: St James's, Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square, and beyond. Solve real-world puzzles, crack wartime codes, and unlock hidden stories as you walk and play at your own pace. Your smartphone becomes both guide and game, blending sightseeing with an engaging storyline.

What makes this tour unique? It’s a mix of espionage, entertainment, and education, told through the eyes of a bold heroine who proves anyone can change history.

Perfect for friends, couples, families, or solo adventurers who want to explore London while solving mysteries that matter.
