This autumn, families are invited to embark on a new kind of adventure at The Stafford London with the launch of The White Mouse Detective Hunt, a charming and educational scavenger hunt created in collaboration with French toy brand Moulin Roty.
Discover the Secrets of The Stafford
Launching for October half term, The White Mouse Detective Hunt is inspired by the remarkable story of Nancy Wake, one of the most highly decorated servicewomen of World War II. Known by her code name “The White Mouse” for her uncanny ability to evade capture, Nancy was also a beloved long-term resident of The Stafford London.
This new family experience pays tribute to her legacy, inviting young guests to follow in her footsteps as they explore the hotel’s hidden corners, uncovering clues and stories from its fascinating past. From the Main House and its wartime bunkers in the historic Wine Cellar, to The American Bar, every stop along the way offers a glimpse into The Stafford’s rich heritage.
A Magical Collaboration with Moulin Roty
To make the experience even more special, The Stafford has partnered with Moulin Roty, the celebrated French toy company known for its whimsical and beautifully crafted collectible mice. Each participating child will receive their own White Mouse toy to take home — a delightful keepsake to remember their detective adventure.
Like The Stafford, Moulin Roty treasures storytelling, craftsmanship, and nostalgia, making this collaboration a perfect fit for a hotel steeped in character and charm.
