the secret city: How to take part
Before you begin:
Before you begin you’ll need:
a mobile phone with camera and internet access (with the ability to scan QR codes)
a pair of headphones
Use the Map to head to the start of the trail, in Fountain Sq, Hanley, marked Number One on the map.
Tip: plan your trip with our Getting Here and Access Info.
starting the trail:
When ready at the start of the trail, look out for The Secret City sign: One
Open your phone camera and point it at the QR code on the sign.
Tip: the signs look like the blue image above
Don’t stand too close (your phone will tell you) and when it focuses a link will pop up.
Click the link.
Press Play.
And listen.
When you have finished listening the Guide will tell you where to head to next. Use the map and the Guide’s instructions to find your way around the trail from Number One to Number Eight.
Don’t forget! You’ll need to find your own way to the end. The final point, Number Nine is not marked on the map. Listen to the clues throughout to find your way there.
Remember:
Use The Secret City Map to find your way around.
Take great care when crossing roads. Please always be aware of other road and town centre users when you are walking or listening to the audio pieces.
You can pause or rewind the tracks at any time if you need to
Take your time: go as fast or as slow as you like. And have a rest if you need to.
Don’t forget, the end of the trail isn’t on the map, you have to work that one out for yourself!
You can also check out Access Info for further information about taking part.
