Scotland's biggest city is to be turned into the country's largest escape room next month.
Glasgow will play host to The Big Escape Live, a socially-distanced outdoor escape game, which will see the city turned into a 'giant playground'.
Groups of up to six people are invited to play against each other in the GPS activated game, meaning social distancing rules can be adhered to.
A leaderboard will be updated in real-time, as teams work together to solve puzzles, crack codes and complete challenges.

Mark French from The Big Escape Live said: “As the biggest city in Scotland, it makes perfect sense to bring the game to Glasgow.
“There’s a flexible start time from George Square giving people the opportunity to play at different times.
“But as teams navigate the streets together, they’ll be near to each other which will hopefully create a buzz around the city, especially if they’re playing in fancy dress which is optional!
“Teams can choose when they play the game as tickets are valid for 6 months but after being locked in for so long, we wanted to try and create a fun and safe outdoor atmosphere for people to enjoy.”

The live event takes place on August 22 with teams encouraged to play between 10am and 2pm.
Tickets cost £44 per team with kids playing for free and can be booked at www.thebigescape.com
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
