We've got a mission for you in

Keele & Maer

For years, Britain's potters have been trying to crack the code for making Chinese porcelain, but to no avail. Instead, they have perfected the art of creating bone china. But the great experimenter, Josiah Wedgewood, actually discovered the secret and hid it away in a locked box, buried for safekeeping. Now, enemy agents from the POTS (Permanently Ominous Tactical Squad) have uncovered the existence of the formula and are holding the villages of Keele and Maer to ransom!

As our top agents, it's up to YOU to save the day. The agents have unknowingly scattered clues to the deactivation code across the area. Can you crack the code and retrieve the formula before it's too late?

Spy Mission Through Keele & Maer - Leafy Valley

Embark on a thrilling self-guided spy mission through the picturesque villages of Keele and Maer. Starting in the village of Keele, home to Europe's largest university campus, you'll follow the Trail route through a leafy valley to Maer, the home of Josiah Wedgwood and closely linked to Darwin.

As you solve the sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, you'll feel like a true secret agent on an important mission.

Can YOU crack the code and save the villages from destruction?
