The Secret Code to Stop the Cricket Chaos

University of Cambridge student, Lawrence Bowler-Wicket, also known as 'LBW', has become obsessed with cricket. He's so envious of the Oxford University Cricket Club (OUCC) that he's come up with a diabolical plan to release giant moles into University Parks, sabotaging the OUCC pitch and ruining the club. But you're on the case, and it's up to you to uncover the code that will put an end to LBW's wicked scheme and save University Parks from becoming a 'cabbage patch'!

Spy Mission Through Oxford's University Parks and River

Get ready for an exciting adventure in the outdoors with this self-guided Spy Mission Trail through Oxford's University Parks and River. Starting at the University Museum on Parks Road, you'll follow a circular route around the northern and eastern edges of the park, crossing the River Cherwell to the suburb of New Marston and continuing along Mesopotania Walk before circling back to Parks Road.

Keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments along the way. LBW is bound to try and throw you off track, but with your keen detective skills, you'll be able to stay one step ahead and crack the code to save University Parks.

The fate of University Parks rests in your hands… Are you up for the challenge?
