Detective Francis needs your help: his sister Eliza has been wrongly locked away in the Manchester Lunatic Asylum. This self-guided exploration game leads you from Manchester Cathedral through the creative Northern Quarter to the Science and Industry Museum, meeting the figures 'Made in Manchester' and gathering the evidence that will clear her name.

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 3.9 km and takes around 2.5 hours, with no time limit.
