Your Oxford adventure begins at The Folly, a location steeped in literary history, being a spot where Lewis Carroll would hire rowing boats and is considered the birthplace of Alice in Wonderland. From this iconic Folly Bridge, you'll embark on a self-guided city walk that transforms Oxford's streets into an immersive treasure hunt. Using a free app on your smartphone, you and your team will navigate a secret trail, solving puzzles, deciphering clues, and tackling fun challenges along the way. This interactive experience, typically lasting two to three hours, allows you to explore at your own pace, whether you're racing against the clock to top the city leaderboard or prefer a leisurely stroll with breaks. It’s an engaging way for families, friends, or even solo explorers to discover both the city's famous landmarks and its best-kept secrets.

The route is designed to be accessible for wheelchairs and prams, ensuring everyone can join the fun. Along this 2.1-mile (3.4 km) journey, you’ll uncover fascinating local history and unique facts, perhaps learning about Town and Gown clashes or spotting where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien found inspiration.

It was a good concept to keep the kids engaged but there were a couple of things that could be improved on. My kids are 7 and 16 so it's difficult to find things they both like. The first debacle was when I went to pick up the map/info they made me pay for 4 maps and 4 hop on hop off tickets. The women clearly didnt sell these often so this was how another person told them to do it. Wasnt a huge deal except planning the cost. The beginning clues were great and inside the museum made everyone look at different areas but then it's like the ran out of places to make clues. I expected it to spread out over oxford but it probably should have just been a museum scavenger hunt. Something different we checked off our list.
