Over deze quest

Discover the brilliance and mystery of Oxford in this exciting walking tour and escape game. Wander through the city’s most stunning buildings and delve into the legacy of the brilliant minds who studied here—like Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin, Lewis Carroll, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis

Visit the gardens that inspired Alice in Wonderland, the pubs where literary legends shared ideas, and the library where Harry Potter came to life. Along the way, uncover hidden spots like where Oscar Wilde threw legendary parties and the secret pub where Bill Clinton allegedly "did not inhale."

In this thrilling quest, you are a brilliant former Oxford professor returning to solve the mystery of your late research partner, Yemi, who was murdered after you invented a revolutionary jet engine powered by water. 

The oil companies didn’t want your invention to see the light of day, and now you must travel around Oxford to find the hidden prototype before it’s lost forever. Perfect for history lovers, adventurers, and puzzle solvers, this self-guided tour lets you explore Oxford’s rich heritage while unraveling a captivating mystery.

De missie: Jouw verhaal in Oxford

You play the role of a brilliant former Oxford professor.

Seven years ago, you and your research partner Yemi invented a jet engine that runs on water. Incredible! Well, the oil companies didn’t think so…

A week later, your partner was dead and you were fleeing the country in disguise. But the world needs your invention more than ever, so now you’re back. Travel around town and try to work out where your partner hid your prototype engine before she was killed.
