Barmy Bridge Break Could Cause Chaos!

Once again, notorious scientist Dr Mak Hehm is up to no good. This time, he’s concocted a sinister plot to hold Durham City to ransom! The mad doctor has injected a special solution into nine of Durham’s river bridges, and with the press of a button, they will all turn to jelly, trapping the town in chaos. But there’s a twist – no one will be able to cross the river without using one of his overpriced boats, and the profits will fund his next wicked scheme.

Luckily, our undercover agent Ann Onymous has been spying on Dr Hehm and his henchmen. She’s sent valuable intel to HQ, which could help us deactivate the device. Your mission is to solve the clues around Durham and crack the code that will save the bridges – but be careful! Ghosts and ghouls might try to disrupt your progress and stop you from discovering the key to stopping Dr Hehm.

The Great Spy Adventure in Durham

Prepare for an exciting self-guided adventure through Durham City. This thrilling trail will lead you around the town, from the market square to the Cathedral, as you solve clues, uncover hidden secrets, and learn more about Durham's fascinating history. Your mission involves sneaking around, gathering intel, and outwitting the henchmen while working as a team.

Are you ready to save Durham and its bridges? Let’s crack the code and release the city from Dr Hehm's grip!
