The Story
You’ve probably heard of wizarding school…now it’s time to really test your powers of observation, deduction and all-round wizardry...at the Clueniversity of Magic!
After studying potion making, alchemy, spellcasting and much more, your final exam awaits you. You will need your wits, ingenuity and team working skills to be awarded the title of Noble Wizards. Your exam comprises a single mission: reveal the imposter wizard at the Clueniversity, by solving a series of clues across York city centre, you can unfold the mystery and reveal the name of the imposter.
Can you succeed and enter the famed halls of the Clueniversity of Magic?
"A fantastic way to experience York!"
How Does It Work?
The game commences at a secret (yes, exciting isn't it!) location somewhere on Micklegate. From here you will embark on a journey into the streets of York, guided by a GPS-enabled app on your phone. Each specially chosen location you arrive at has a unique puzzle to work out and each clue you crack takes you one step closer to solving the mystery! The game is played by teams of 2-5 people (you can book online here). Typical game duration is around 2 hours - each game must be completed within a maximum of 3 hours (so you can take a break if you wish).
Children (under 16s) must be accompanied by at least one adult (18+). Under 11s play for free.
