About Legacy

Set in and beneath the streets of London, Legacy combines a two-part radio drama and an online adventure game to tell the story of Jules and Harry: two 20-something siblings coming to terms with their family's shocking past. Brought together by the death of their grandmother Rose, Jules and Harry uncover more than they bargained for as they seek out their inheritance, discovering a mysterious legacy left to them by their enigmatic grandmother.

You play the game as Harry, attempting to escape an abandoned bunker complex hidden beneath the streets of London. You'll need to keep your wits about you as you explore the dark underground world in which you find yourself trapped. Listen carefully and think logically to solve the puzzles and crack the codes that will reunite you with your sister, Jules. Solve the mystery of your grandmother's past and escape your unwanted legacy.

Jules's story was told through the radio drama.

Legacy is a collaboration between BBC Scotland New Media, BBC Radio Scotland and Radio 7. The game was built by independent producer, DESQ. Audio design by Nick Ryan.

Meet the Grey Family

Harry Grey

Twenty two years old, Harry likes to think of himself as a lad with a conscience. A bit of a charmer he's nevertheless been active on the public demonstration front since his mid teens and firmly believes that the governments of the world are hiding things from their citizens. He's currently involved in a number of affirmative action organisations and political pressure groups, although if pushed he'd probably admit it was more about impressing the girls than anything else.

Juliet Grey

Harry's twin sister Jules is the straight man (or woman) of the two siblings. Pragmatic and direct she's never afraid to say her piece and more often than not talks some good sense into the bargain. Her attitude to life is to stand up tall and take on your responsibilities like a woman, something she's had little choice about since the loss of her parents years ago. Jules was always closer to Rose than her brother. While Harry would tire quickly of the quests and puzzles Gran would set the young Greys, Jules always found them fascinating.

Rose Grey

Rose Grey continues in death to be exactly what she was in life – namely something of an enigma. Her past is almost wilfully bland and yet dotted with moments of intense tragedy. The loss of her son and daughter in law being a case in point.

Perhaps the lack of readily available information is related to her late Husband's working life. He spent his entire career with the British secret service, keeping the secrets of the country safe. Something not lost or particularly admired by his anarchist grandson, Harry.
