Project Glass Hammer, Woolwich

About

To celebrate the historic October anniversary of the founding of the Royal Arsenal in 1716 the monumental site that transformed Woolwich into a global military hub a high-stakes outdoor puzzle mission has officially launched.

The immersive challenge, titled The Pirate Who Stole Time, transforms the historic streets and renovated industrial pathways of the Royal Arsenal into a real-life escape room. Rogue time-traveler Captain Tick-Tock Morgan has broken into the timeline, aiming to rewrite Woolwich's history. Teams of players must assemble their squads, decode cryptic clues sent via WhatsApp, and search for hidden codes embedded within the architecture of historic military landmarks and gun factories.

Operating as a special commemorative interactive trail throughout October, this outdoor adventure offers tourists and families a thrilling alternative to traditional sightseeing. Players will crack logic puzzles, spot architectural secrets, and race to protect the timeline. The self-guided mission requires no app downloads and begins in the heart of Woolwich.
