Cambridge is world-famous for its university. No other university in the world has produced more Nobel Prize winners. So it is not surprising that the University of Cambridge with its 31 colleges is omnipresent. But the city has even more sights to offer. On a scavenger hunt in Cambridge, you can discover many of them and solve some tricky puzzles along the way. Together as a team, you will roam the historic streets of the city - guided by our app and challenged by numerous tasks that are digitally distributed throughout the city.
Even though the university, which was founded in the 13th century, is one of the oldest in the world, the city of Cambridge is even older. Excavations have shown that people have been settling here for around 3,000 years. The town was first developed by Roman troops, who built a fortified position here on the River Cam.
Sometime later, in the 11th century, William the Conqueror had three castles built. You can see the remains of Cambridge Castle after your scavenger hunt; they are located just outside the town on a hill. The actual construction of the old town followed over the next few centuries, and the history of the town is closely linked to the development of the university. The colleges, which are housed in various historic buildings, make up almost half of the city's structures. However, the residential and business districts are just as historic. The cobblestone alleyways that meander through the medieval city center are striking. They provide an ideal playing field for your scavenger hunt in Cambridge, where you can explore the city as a team and take on tricky challenges.
Are you ready to master the Cambridge scavenger hunt? Then pull out your charged smartphones, log into our app with your tickets and you're in the game. Your smartphones will reliably guide you from station to station using GPS navigation. To create the route, first decide who will lead your group as the game master. Then you assign the other roles. During the scavenger hunt in Cambridge, you may be on the move as a photographer, trivia king and linguistic genius. You will receive individual tasks to match. Many of these are special photo challenges. The resulting pictures are vivid memories of your joint scavenger hunt - you can find them in your personal gallery after the game.
The big challenges for the whole team await at the task locations. The aim there is to keep your eyes open, combine cleverly and deepen your knowledge. Have you found an answer together? Then enter it in the app - correct solutions earn you valuable points for your score. This puts you in competition with all the other teams who have already been on the Cambridge scavenger hunt. Who knows, maybe you'll be the new number one on the leaderboard?
A scavenger hunt in Cambridge is ideal for exploring the city on foot. Many of the most famous sights are only a few hundred meters away from each other. This definitely includes the Church of St. Mary the Great with its two organs and impressively decorated stained glass windows. Tip: You can also climb the tower and enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the top.
Market Hill, Cambridge's market square, is located very close to the church. Like so many places in the city, it has a long tradition. Even in the Middle Ages, goods from the region and from all over the world were sold here. There are also various restaurants and cafés around the market square where you can celebrate your successes on the scavenger hunt. If you still have some time, you should also take a detour to the River Cam. Many historic buildings are located directly on the water, and there are also several picturesque bridges.
