Terms of use for Mystery Walks app

Walking, as with any outdoor activity, involves a certain amount of risk. In Cornwall, unfenced cliffs, waves, steep gradients and tourist traffic can make these risks more significant than in other areas. This is particularly the case in poor weather when surfaces can be slippery, storm waves can break against piers and sea walls and high winds can cause loss of balance. We accept no responsibility for any injuries or loss caused to walkers following the routes described. We recommend you read the page on walking safety from The Ramblers. Before setting out, consider the kinds of risks you (and any children or dogs you are responsible for) are likely to encounter in a coastal town or village popular with tourists, and pay very careful attention to the weather conditions and forecast. During the activity, we recommend you find a safe place to stand or sit to do the puzzles.

Due to temporary events (e.g. building works), clues may be temporarily obstructed. You should use the backup photo in this scenario. Also, very occasionally, access along a section of the route could be blocked by e.g. roadworks. In this scenario you should use the "can't get there" mechanism to rejoin the route as soon as possible after the obstruction and catch up on any clues using the backup photos provided. There's more information about both scenarios in the tips linked from the app home screen and also from the help button (under "what do I do?") for puzzles/navigation.

You are responsible for ensuring you have enough phone battery to complete the mystery walk. We strongly recommend taking a USB power bank as a backup for your phone battery.

The mystery walks are for your own use only. You may not use it for commercial purposes without our permission.

All characters and events within the story are entirely fictional. Stories are also often (intentionally) anachronistic. The story illustrations (drawings) are purely decorative, do not depict the location and nothing should be inferred from them (they don't form part of any of the clues/puzzles). However, facts about places of interest on the map and statements about points of interest within the story are factual and correct to the best of our knowledge and when photographs are used as illustrations these are also real pictures of the place or phenomenon described.
