A fun new foodie experience has launched in London. Described as “the perfect mix of escape room and food walking tour”, Gourmaze is a creative way to explore the capital and its amazing food scene through a live treasure hunt.

Visitors are immersed in a fictional story in which characters send riddles and clues to telephones. Solving leads to a number of vendors and restaurants in town where food and drinks can be picked up. There are three themes to choose from: pizza, dessert or Asian street food.

Step back in time to the era of Agatha Christie in a stylish journey that doubles as a gripping mystery. Luxury travel company Belmond has created A Moving Murder Mystery, in which you meet ten suspects aboard an Art Deco-themed train.

Enjoy champagne and a five-course lunch as each suspect visits your carriage to tell you part of the story – a woman is found dead at the 1951 Festival of Britain – and perhaps leave a clue or two… A lavish treat for a special people, or even for yourself.
