A trail of clues awaits in
Durham
Historians in Durham are in a frenzy after an ancient document was discovered alongside the 1216 Magna Carta, claiming that there was no Bishop in Durham during this pivotal year. This shocking revelation could tarnish the reputation of Durham, but it goes against all other historical records from that time. After extensive research, amateur sleuth Indy Past has uncovered evidence on a remote island off the Northumberland coast that will finally bring the truth to light. The document includes a map and cryptic clues that will lead to the location of this hidden cache. But Indy can't do it alone - they need the help of the Exploration Society and their top adventurers to crack the code and uncover the truth.
Embark on a Quest Through Durham's Riverside and Palace Green
Join the Exploration Society on an immersive and exciting self-guided quest through the picturesque Riverside and Palace Green areas of Durham. As you journey through these historic locations, you'll come across sneaky clues hidden in buildings, landmarks, and monuments, all leading you to the final destination.

Indy Past has always been one step ahead, and only the most daring and clever adventurers will be able to solve the riddles and uncover the hidden stash.
