Explore Tyntesfield with Loupe

Discover and identify species at Tyntesfield with this location-based nature exploration game

Step into Loupe, a real-world adventure game where outdoor exploration meets storytelling and playful discovery. Usually set across back gardens, parks, and green spaces, visitors can experience the fun at Tyntesfield over the bank holiday weekend.

Explore the grounds as they transform into an hidden world filled with lost animals, spirit creatures, and nature-inspired quests, all designed to help you discover the wildlife that lives here in a new and imaginative way.
