The Devious Plot of Dr Beaker
Dr Beaker, the beloved chemistry lecturer at the University of Glasgow, has always dreamed of becoming a Professor. But despite his many accomplishments and groundbreaking research, he has yet to receive the promotion he so desires. In a fit of frustration, Dr Beaker has concocted a devious plan to make all his rivals lose their memories, giving him the upper hand and securing his position as Professor of Chemistry. Only YOU, our best super spy, can put a stop to his dastardly scheme!
The Quest to Foil Dr Beaker's Plan
Embark on a thrilling adventure through the University Quarter of Glasgow, as you track down clues and crack codes to deactivate Dr Beaker's memory-wiping potion. With the help of our mole within the University, you'll journey through the bustling streets, historic buildings, and scenic parks, following the trail of clues left behind.
From the iconic University of Glasgow, to the picturesque Glasgow Botanic Gardens, and the charming University Avenue, your mission will take you through the heart of this vibrant city. But be careful, Dr Beaker is always one step ahead, and only the most cunning and daring super spies will be able to solve the final clue and save the day.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the Trail is not friendly for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to some steep hilly sections.
Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is dog-friendly.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Lilybank Gardens (G12 8SA), just a three-minute walk away. The Trail start is perfectly placed for access via the underground as it begins outside Hillhead Underground Station.
There are some fantastic events in Glasgow's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Glasgow Visitor Information.
There are toilets in the cafes and bars along Gibson Sreet (Clues 08/09). There is a myriad of cafes, restaurants, pubs and other eating establishments along the way, with a great picnic spot after Clue 09!
