Questions fréquemment posées
What makes this alumni-themed game a cooler way to discover Cambridge?
Instead of listing facts, this game turns you into an “Uncanny Zoologist” hunting magical creatures while visiting real spots tied to big names—like the DNA pioneer, the inventor of the computer, etc. You solve puzzles, walk alleyways, see colleges, and discover hidden history—all wrapped in fun.
Is this good for a romantic outing?
For sure. Imagine wandering Cambridge’s quaint lanes at dusk, sharing laughs over tricky clues, pausing at an old college gate, then finishing in Market Square under street lamps. It’s romantic, playful, and totally different from dinner-and-a-movie.
Can families with curious kids enjoy this adventure?
Yes! Kids who love stories, puzzles, or even fantasy will be into tracking escaped magical creatures, spotting historic landmarks, and learning fun science and tech history—all while walking at a gentle pace with plenty of breaks.
We’re a group of friends—can this be a mini-challenge or team event?
Definitely. Split into teams to see who catches their creature first, debate over clues, explore quiet corners, then meet for a coffee or meal in one of Cambridge’s cosy pubs. It becomes part escape game, part city roam.
Where exactly will this walk take me in Cambridge?
You’ll go past the University Library, some of the oldest colleges, picturesque alleyways, and even a famous pub with history. The route shows both the iconic and the lesser known sides of Cambridge’s heritage.
