Stranger Folk

Download our new Stranger Folk app and begin an immersive adventure inspired by British folklore. The interactive game features goblins and other creatures who lurk around the house and gardens.

The app is designed for children aged 7-12 and can be downloaded for free from Apple and Google app stores. You can download the app ahead of your visit, just search Stranger Folk in your app store. It can also be downloaded via QR code on arrival in our second-hand bookshop.

Families only need one mobile phone to play the game and can work together to heal a rift between the human and spirit worlds. Volume 1, ‘Crone Calling’, starts with a message from a mysterious Old Crone. As the story develops, you can meet sneaky goblins and cunning boggarts, while learning of strange goings-on.

The game can be played at a fast pace for around 20 minutes or you can take the whole day to complete the adventure, pausing for lunch then picking up where you left off.

Alongside your app-based adventure, look out for mysterious figures lurking around Rufford Old Hall, dress as a detective to help us spot any unusual creatures and take part in some Stranger Folk games across site.
