Great fun game using a bunch of locations and details in the area of central oxford. Would be good for visitors or locals - we learnt some interesting new facts about our city along the way! All takes place in the city centre and the puzzles are interesting and required the perfect mix of solving & finding. I’ve already recommended to friends and colleagues

Excellent virtual adaptation of a puzzly walking tour of Oxford. We really enjoyed the narrative and meta-structure.

A real page-turner, this well written hunt plays more like a Da Vinci Code short story or a choose your own adventure book than an escape room. It was originally designed to be played using real-world locations at Oxford, but the author has done a very good job converting it to this online version, linking to photos of the locations and other necessary information. The well-themed puzzles fit into the story naturally, and are challenging enough to require some scratch paper. So make a cup of tea and curl up at home with this cozy mystery! Disclaimer: I played this hunt for free as part of my consulting job at ClueKeeper.
