About this activity

Step back to 1567 on England’s most medieval streets.

Norwich is a city of stories, and today, you are the main character. On this self-guided exploration game, play the role of a "Stranger", a refugee weaver fleeing persecution. Your mission? Find your lost family in the labyrinth of medieval lanes and bustling markets.

Why travelers love this Questo experience:

Explore Elm Hill: Solve clues along Britain's most famous Tudor street, filled with cobblestones and timber-framed houses.

Iconic Landmarks: The route takes you past the majestic Norwich Cathedral, the vibrant Market Place, and hidden gardens of the Cathedral Quarter.

Discover "The Strangers": Learn how these skilled weavers transformed the city (and gave the football team its canary logo!).

100% Flexible: No tour guides, no waiting. Start whenever you want. Pause for a pint or coffee in the Lanes, and resume instantly.

The Mission: Can you navigate the ancient city, solve the riddles, and reunite with your family?
