Safety & Visitor Information
CURSED is entertainment. The stories mix recorded history with folklore and fiction, and each hunt labels which is which.
Every location is a public viewpoint, an open heritage site or reached by an authorised tour. Never trespass, climb fences, or enter closed, private or derelict buildings.
Check opening hours and the weather before you go. Tell someone where you're going, keep your phone charged, and respect residents, graves and memorials.
Location is only checked when you tap a button. It is never stored or shared.
