You might know Cambridge for its elite university, but did you know about the secret societies it has harboured for centuries? Groups like The Apostles, named for their twelve founding members, or The Knights Borogrove, shrouded in mystery and gossip. In this walking quest, Cambridge reveals itself as it rarely does. You will visit King's College, Trinity College, St. John's, Christ's, the Round Church, and the Corpus Clock, while uncovering stories of the scholars who shaped the world here: Alan Turing, Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and more. But there is a story woven through it all. You are a Tudor-era student in a secret society racing to recover a banned book before the King's soldiers find it first. The clues were left by a fellow member who was captured. The clock is running. Solve the puzzles, follow the trail through Cambridge's most famous landmarks, and find the book before it is lost to history.
