Beano Outdoor Game
Discover Liverpool through a fun-filled outdoor game that combines walking, puzzles, and comic characters. Perfect for families and friends, it makes exploring the city an adventure!
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.
