Cambridge society context
The real society behind part of the mystery
The Cambridge Apostles—formally the Cambridge Conversazione Society—was founded in 1820 as a private discussion group. Its nickname came from the original twelve members, and later members included figures associated with literature, philosophy, economics and the Cambridge spy story. This quest places that real tradition of scholarship and secrecy beside famous colleges and thinkers. The Tudor student you play and the Knights Borogrove are fictional devices created for the game. Playable languages: English, Spanish.
