The X fierce nights & neon lights: cryptic adventure

Travel back in time to the underworld streets of the 1920’s and 30’s, a time when rebellious crime lords and ladies ran King’s Cross.

By solving the 13 cryptic clues in this infamous area, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Kate and Tilly Devine who peddled their questionable ‘business’ in The Cross. Watch out for the notorious Razorhurst gangs who sloshed ale and slashed, and take a detour past ‘blood alley’. 

It’s not all crime and punishment as you’ll become fabulously lost in the trendy subculture of bohemian inner-city life, marvel at the colourful Victorian Villas, and travel down the secret foodies' footpath perfect for a bite to eat. You also have the option to hop into a mysterious-lit speakeasy bar that we recommend along the way - so If you like rich and risqué history coupled with a martini, then tell the girls to slip on their flapper dress and the guys to slide on their fedoras. Prepare for an adventure to be remembered… or forgotten.

Along the way, we will show you some awesome stop-off points to enjoy some beverages if you wish. If you do manage to complete the clues and reach the finish we will provide you with your stats and a detailed explanation of all the sights.
