They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

We've got a mission for you in

Foxton

The notorious evil genius, Dr. Pongi, has struck again! This time, he's targeting the peaceful village of Foxton, known for its scenic canal and famous locks. But what's his diabolical plan this time? It seems he's taken up the hobby of gongoozling (n. / inf. - a person who enjoys watching activity on the canals of the United Kingdom), but he's tired of all the tourists ruining his solitude. In an attempt to reclaim the towpaths, he's set up a stinky trap. Hidden beneath the locks are stink bombs that release a rank, rotten egg-like smell when the lock gates move. It's up to YOU, our best agents, to find the code and disable the trigger mechanism before it's too late!

Spy Mission Through Foxton - Village & Locks

Get ready for an exciting self-guided mission along the canal in Foxton. Your top-secret assignment is to tiptoe past the locks and along the towpath to the village, then double back on the other side, past the Inclined Plane, to gather all the vital intel. But beware, Dr. Pongi is always one step ahead, so stay alert as you advance. Failure is not an option on this mission, or there will be a stinky outcome!

Pick up the scent and stop the stench before it's too late!
