Crack the code
The Cambridge Codebreaking Society have recently come into the possession of a curious set of letters. The letters, exchanged between a cryptographer and linguist, span decades. The last references a closely-held secret, but it’s written in an unbreakable code. The code refers to a series of artefacts spread out across space and time. The Society has called upon its finest minds to help them try to crack the code before the answers are lost forever.
With a live leaderboard, cryptic clues, surprise challenges and roaming characters your team will have to be curious, cooperative and clever to come out on top.
But as the secret behind the code becomes apparent, you'll be faced with a moral choice. Sometimes, is it better not to know?
The adventure takes place across the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Fitzwilliam Museum, Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences and Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
The Last Secret is presented by the University of Cambridge Museums in partnership with London-based adventure games experts Fire Hazard Games.
