Top secret!

We've got a mission for you in

Penrith

Uh-oh! The red-fingered rebel, Dr Sandy Stone, is at it again. This time, he's working on behalf of an unscrupulous rival town, and his latest scheme threatens to ruin Penrith's chances of winning the prestigious 'Best Red Town in the Country' contest.

Dr Stone has planted a device that will spray a chemical formula containing bleach all over town, causing the lovely red sandstone to look washed out. But there's still time to stop him, and local residents have been put on Red Alert to keep an eye out for the devious doctor.

Spy HQ is now enlisting top secret agents to step in and save the day. Are YOU ready to take on the task of breaking the classified code and de-activating the device before it's too late?

Can You Catch Dodgy Doctor Red Handed?

Embark on an immersive and family-friendly self-guided walking adventure through the charming town of Penrith. Starting at the Tourist Information Centre on Middlegate, follow the Trail route through the medieval streets and discover the town's rich history and culture.

Along the way, you'll encounter sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Use your spy skills to crack the code and complete the mission, just like a true secret agent. And keep an eye out for a giant's grave hidden along the way!
