Scholars & Secrets of Cambridge: Self-Guided Puzzle Adventure

About this activity

Embark on a quest around Cambridge by solving clues to find a mysterious book before the King's army does, all on your smartphone. Unlock new stories as you discover on your own the Corpus Clock, King's College, Trinity Hall, and more.

+ Visit the top Cambridge colleges

+ Solve riddles on your phone and discover hidden gems

+ Marvel at the Round Church

You will play the role of a person who lives in medieval Britain, under the rule of the Tudors. As a student at Cambridge, you joined a secret society, which fights to preserve prohibited books deemed revolutionary by the King.

Each riddle you solve will lead you from one place to another, giving you exact directions, so you won’t need a map, a GPS or a guide. When you solve it and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.

P.S.: After you buy the tour, you will receive an access code that you can to unlock this quest inside the Questo app.
