Stranger Folk app: a family adventure game
Stranger Folk is a free family adventure app inspired by British folklore. Designed for children aged 7-12, it transforms participating National Trust places into interactive quests filled with stories, challenges and mythical creatures.
Download the Stranger Folk App
The app can be downloaded for free from Apple and Google app stores. We'd encourage you to download the app ahead of your visit, although it can also be downloaded on arrival at the participating house (depending on the Wi-Fi signal). Begin your quest, complete challenges and uncover stories.

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.
