The Celtic Code

 You came to Wells to meet Sinéad, the researcher who believed she’d found proof of lost Celtic script hidden in plain sight. But she’s gone, no replies, no trace. 

Her final letters hinted at five protective symbols and a truth the Church once tried to bury. Following her clues through the city, you begin to fear she didn’t disappear… she was silenced.

The mission: Your story in Wells

 A missing researcher. An erased lineage. Hidden symbols carved in stone. 

When Sinéad uncovers evidence linking her ancestry to a Celtic manuscript traced to Wells, she vanishes. 

Follow her trail through cathedral carvings, heraldic shields and ancient timekeepers to uncover a truth woven into the city’s architecture. Some histories were rewritten. Some were simply hidden.
