Beano Outdoor Game
Join Dennis and friends in a playful 90-minute outdoor adventure through Birmingham, blending puzzles and city sights for a fun-filled family experience.
Beano Outdoor Game creates location-based, family-friendly walking adventures that bring beloved Beano comic characters to life in public spaces. Using a mix of puzzles, clues and local exploration, the experiences invite families and groups to wander city streets while following a narrative that often centers on Dennis and his mischievous dog, Gnasher.
Each route is presented as a self-guided outdoor game suitable for a relaxed pace: many of the provided trips are designed to take around 90 minutes, and most experiences state there is no strict time limit, allowing breaks and snacks during the walk. The formats combine on-foot exploration with puzzle-solving and digital guidance in select cities, helping participants navigate and interact with comic-themed challenges.
Beano Outdoor Game operates in a range of UK cities including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham, Norwich, Ipswich, Bath, Dundee, Newcastle and Walthamstow. The business targets families and groups looking for an active, narrative-driven day out that mixes sightseeing with light problem-solving.
Information about each trip — including start points, estimated duration and city-specific details — is provided per route. The third-person presentation of tours and consistent city listings help visitors select a location that fits their schedule and travel plans.
