The Soliloquy of Statues Hunt
Where the City's statues stand in silent soliloquy, a deeper story lies hidden in stone. The Guild of Stonecutters, sworn to guard the secrets of the veiled, scattered eleven marks among the figures that watch over London in the United Kingdom — each bearing a letter, each whispering a warning to those who know how to listen.
You just need to look up. Follow the trail, heed the whispers of the statues, speak the code words, and gather the letters that spell a truth long carved in stone — for within that truth also lies a warning.
It was predicted long ago by the Guild that the time would come where humanity would traverse the streets with their heads hanging low, becoming less and less aware of their surroundings and in turn the history buried within. But there would be a select few who would instinctively stumble across the Emblem carried through the ages, and be reminded to hold their heads high, and look up to marvel not only at nature and many structures born of the endeavour to succeed, but at the trail of the Guild hidden in plain sight...
You have found the Emblem…now you need to decide if you will follow The Way Of The Hunt
The Way of the Hunt
- I.Find the Statue of the Soliloquy.
- II.Find the Code to break the seal using the whispers from the stones.
- III.Collect the letters to form the phrase of warning to the wise.

The Chronicle
The Guild of Stonecutters
"Every statue is a silenced voice. The stonecutter's task is not to carve the figure, but to carve what the figure already knows."
— Attributed to the Guild of Stonecutters
The Founding
Long before the masons' guilds formalised, there were the Stonecutters — a loose brotherhood of carvers, sculptors, and stonemasons who believed that every figure they set into the City's walls carried a voice of its own. Not a literal voice, but the kind that speaks to anyone patient enough to stand before it and listen.
The Stonecutters understood something the rest of the City forgot: that a statue is never just decoration. It is a witness, placed where someone decided a witness was needed. And so, over centuries, they scattered their own kind of trail — not in gold, but in stone, hiding letters and warnings in the figures that watch over London's streets, squares, and gardens.
The Trail
Eleven of those silent figures form the core of this trail. Find all eleven, in the right order, and you'll collect eleven letters — the Stonecutters' own warning, carved into the very stone of the City, hidden in plain sight for anyone who remembers to look up.
Some have weathered beyond recognition. None of them have stopped watching. Some are still trying to be heard.
The Way of the Hunt
- I.Find the Statue of the Soliloquy.
- II.Find the Code to break the seal using the whispers from the stones.
- III.Collect the letters to form the phrase of warning to the wise.
- IV.Decode the phrase into a single word which reveals the hidden truth.
The statues are set. The city is waiting. The Stonecutters hid their truth in plain sight — and now the trail is yours to walk.
