Let’s be honest—how many times have you wandered aimlessly through a city looking for something exciting to do, only to end up in the same predictable restaurants or soulless tourist spots?
Now imagine this: a cryptic envelope arrives at your door. Inside, a puzzle. Solve it, and it leads you to a hidden eatery. One down, several more to go. At the end? A full belly, a mind buzzing with riddles, and a day you’ll be talking about for weeks.
Welcome to Gourmaze—London’s most delicious adventure.
What is Gourmaze?
Gourmaze isn’t just a food tour. It’s not an escape room. It’s not your average city walk either. It’s a self-guided, clue-filled culinary treasure hunt through London’s buzzing backstreets, culture-rich corners, and seriously tasty local haunts.
Think of it as Sherlock Holmes meets MasterChef—minus the pressure, plus the pastries.
Whether you’re with a date, friends, family, or even flying solo, Gourmaze delivers that rare combination of playful challenge, hidden-gem discovery, and epic eating.
How It Works: Food, Fun, and a Few Head-Scratchers
The process is brilliantly simple—and that’s part of the magic:
- Choose Your Maze – Each Gourmaze experience is themed. Want to indulge in French treats? Go “The Sweet Escape.” Craving spicy street food? Try “The Hunt for the Tiger Curry.” Prefer pasta? “Mission Impastable” awaits.
- Receive Your First Clue – On the day of your adventure, the first riddle hits your phone (or you can opt for a printed version). Solve it, and you’re off to your first secret foodie stop.
- Eat, Solve, Repeat – At each stop, enjoy a hand-picked dish or snack from some of London’s best-kept culinary secrets. Your next clue awaits… but only if you’ve cracked the puzzle.
- Complete the Maze – After 2–3 hours of exploration, indulgence, and laughter, you finish the route with a satisfied stomach and a serious sense of accomplishment.
Why Gourmaze is More Than Just a Food Tour
What makes Gourmaze truly unique isn’t just the food (though it’s fantastic). It’s the storytelling, the surprises, and the feeling of being an explorer in your own city.
It’s Perfect for:
- Date Nights: Bond over clues, not just cocktails.
- Team Building: Way better than awkward office icebreakers.
- Family Outings: Kid-friendly mazes available!
- Tourists: Discover real London, not the cliché spots.
- Locals: You’ll uncover places even lifelong Londoners have never noticed.
