01
First Stop: Elizabeth Tower
Prepare to enter the world's most famous clock tower and unlock its secrets.
The Secrets of Big Ben
The Elizabeth Tower
The Great Bell
The tower is an integral part of the historic Palace of Westminster.
Big Ben is actually the name of the great bell inside, not the tower itself.
Learn the essential facts about London's most iconic clock tower before you attempt to escape the chamber.
Age and Design
The Palace Structure
The tower itself was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to honor the Queen.
The clock is over 160 years old and features four faces keeping time.
Second Stop: The Royal Palace
Now that you have escaped the clock tower, our journey continues to the official London residence of the British Monarch. Prepare to navigate the grounds of Buckingham Palace, but keep a close eye on the flying flag—it holds the secret to knowing if the King is currently inside.
Inside the Royal Palace
Buckingham Palace is a marvel of architecture with 775 rooms, including 78 bathrooms. Keep an eye on the roof: if the Royal Standard flag is flying, it means the Monarch is currently in residence! The palace's iconic balcony is the world-famous spot where the Royal Family greets crowds during significant national celebrations. It remains the beating heart of British royal life.

Third Stop: The River Thames
Master the mechanics of Tower Bridge to cross the river.

Pedestrian Access. The high-level walkways were originally built for pedestrians, allowing them to cross even when the bridge was raised.
Traffic Relief. Opened in 1894, this bridge was designed to clear river congestion while maintaining ship access.
Bascule Mechanics. Tower Bridge is a 'bascule' bridge, meaning its two massive halves pivot upwards to allow ships to pass through.
Fourth Stop: The Fortress
Prepare to enter the Tower of London, a site holding over 1,000 years of bloody history. As you unlock the secrets of this formidable stone structure, you will discover why it serves as the home to the priceless Crown Jewels and learn the ancient legend that insists the resident ravens must never leave.
Centuries of History
Yeoman Warders, known as Beefeaters, have stood guard since Tudor times. Beyond security, they act as custodians of history, protecting the priceless Crown Jewels kept within the walls.
Palace and Prison. Throughout history, this site has served as a royal residence, a high-security prison, and even a royal menagerie housing exotic animals.
The Guards
The Fortress Secrets
The Tower of London is steeped in mystery. Legend warns that if the six resident ravens ever abandon the fortress, the kingdom will fall. Their protection is a vital, ancient duty.
History Alive. The Tower remains one of the most iconic symbols of London's royal past, hiding centuries of intrigue behind its stone walls.
The Ravens
Congratulations, London Explorer!
You have collected all four symbols and unlocked the golden key as the sun rises over the city. You are now a true Master of London Monuments!
Ready to explore London? Use these game tips to succeed: read each historical fact carefully before answering questions. Follow the navigation buttons to move between monuments, and remember that the golden key—your ticket to escape—only appears once you have correctly solved every challenge in the series.
Did you know the Tower Bridge walkways were closed in 1910 due to a lack of use? Today, these paths are a premier attraction, offering students an unparalleled, bird's-eye view of London's skyline and the historic river below.
Avoid the common name confusion! While many tourists mistake the grand Tower Bridge for London Bridge, they are quite different. London Bridge is the plain stone bridge nearby, whereas Tower Bridge is the iconic, colorful bascule bridge. Believe it or not, a different version of London Bridge was even sold and moved to Arizona!
Tower Bridge was originally powered by massive steam engines that pushed hydraulic accumulators to lift the bascules. Today, the system runs on electricity, but you can still visit the original steam machinery on display in the engine rooms.
