We'll be in Edinburgh this weekend!

The team will be around the city this weekend meeting folk and sharing what Urban Trails is all about. If you're in Edinburgh for the festival and want to chat interactive city exploration, or you're just curious what all the fuss is about, come find us.

We'll be on the Royal Mile and dotted around the city. Look for the people in pink who are way too enthusiastic about puzzles and Edinburgh's history.

Enter 1800s Bath under the watchful eye of Ms Priscilla Black, matchmaker extraordinaire. She is wholly persuaded that most people are unfit to meet gentlemen of consequence, and has therefore devised a series of tests.

Solve her puzzles, endure her wit, and - should you prove yourself - meet Mr Darcy and other eligible bachelors of great confidence and questionable self-awareness.

Your matrimonial reputation depends upon it.
