About us

Hi, I'm Ryan.

I was born in the north of England and I'm passionate about making northern cities accessible and revitalising their appeal to a wide audience.

My partner and I love puzzles, and have always been passionate about escape rooms, but who wants to be trapped in a stuffy room on a beautiful day? Much better to be solving puzzles as we walk the streets and discover new things about the city we love!

Openworld Quests is a proud advocate of the environment. All of our games encourage players to leave the car at home and explore the streets on foot.

The games are designed in a sustainable way, showcasing some of the most beautiful historical areas of the city and contributing to the continued protection of our shared heritage so our players leave only footprints and take only memories.

I'm excited to take you off the beaten track and introduce you to the hidden gems of York, making those delights accessible and engaging for all.
