Follow a vanished dreamer into a world worth believing in
At Market Street, this fantasy mystery turns imagination into a shared investigation. Bring people who enjoy unusual ideas, talk through what you discover and follow the story together. The room includes mild climbing, so speak to the venue before booking if anyone is unsure whether that will be comfortable for them.
Everyone had an opinion about Alice's stories. They were impossible, exaggerated, perhaps simply the work of an imagination that would not stay still. Alice kept believing in Leicesterland anyway. Now she has disappeared, and the stories nobody took seriously may be the best starting point your team has. This is an invitation to be curious before being certain. Let a surprising idea stay alive long enough to test it. Hear the suggestion that sounds unlikely. Notice how differently your teammates see the same question. Finding a way through this mystery calls for more than deciding what makes sense in the ordinary world. You have to consider Alice's world on its own terms. Bring your imagination, keep your thoughts connected and see where the investigation leads. A vanished dreamer has given you a reason to look again.
Investigate Alice's disappearance and discover whether Leicesterland is more than a story. Follow the mystery as a team, connect your ideas and complete the room's challenge within sixty minutes. Your task is to make sense of what happened when imagination and everyday life stopped staying apart.
