About this quest

This game takes players on a time-travelling trip through Norwich. Starting with the Saxons, players meet the Normans, the Tudors, the Georgians, and Victorians.

It's a tale of dissent, independence, commercial success, and architectural beauty. You'll visit some of the city's best-loved landmarks, and discover a few places off the beaten track as well. 

Highlights

  • You'll visit important places in the city, covering 1000 years of history.

  • At each location you'll need to solve a challenge before you can move onto the next one.

The mission: Your story in Norwich

Get ready to travel over 1000 years through time, as we explore some of the biggest events in the city's history. We'll start in the Saxon period, when the place we now call Norwich is home to just a few small settlements, north of the river. 

Things start to change in the 10th century as greater numbers of Saxons settle all around the River Wensum.
