A trail of clues awaits in

Cambridge

In 1983, infamous supervillain Robin Spree got himself convicted for pulling off the ultimate diamond heist… worth millions! But at his trial, instead of being remorseful, he decided to rub salt in the wound by presenting the police with a treasure map revealing the diamonds' location. Despite enlisting the brightest minds on the force, not a single person has cracked Spree's devilishly tricky clues. Now, Spree's set to be released next week, and he's likely itching to retrieve his loot and make a grand escape. The police, desperate and out of ideas, have put out a global call for the best explorers and treasure hunters to solve this mystery. That's where YOU LOT come in! Do you have what it takes to outsmart Spree and get to the diamonds before he does? Time's ticking, so grab your magnifying glasses, put on your Indiana Jones hats, and let's crack these fiendish clues!

More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Cambridge, there are a few things you need to know...

This Trail is part of a set that covers Cambridge. You can see which area each Trail covers by clicking this link and downloading the Trail territory PDF.

The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Queen Anne Terrace (CB1 1ND), just a 10-minute walk away. Or why not try Cambridge's fantastic Park and Ride service?

There are some fantastic events in Cambridge’s calendar, all of which are fantastic times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your quest.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.
