Strange sightings are stirring whispers of ghosts wandering Manchester's streets, and an ancient order has called on you to join the hunt in this self-guided exploration game. Armed with a mysterious device that detects the supernatural, track down ten wandering spirits between Sackville Gardens, St Peter's Square, Albert Square and Chinatown. Some are harmless, lost between worlds, but one hides a dark purpose and plots to unleash terror on the living.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 2 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.

Can you find the evil ghost before it claims the city?
