Top secret!

We've got a mission for you in

Wantage Area

The town of Wantage is under threat! Arne Olsen, a fanatical Dane and supposed descendent of a Viking defeated by Alfred the Great, has vowed to destroy all statues commemorating the legendary king. But not if YOU can help it!

As a top secret agent, it's your mission to crack the 4-digit code that will expose Olsen's plan and save the cherished statues. Are you up for the challenge?

Spy Mission Through Wantage and Surrounding Villages

Join the ranks of secret agents as you embark on this exciting self-guided Spy Mission Trail through the town centre of Wantage and the beautiful villages of Letcombe Regis and Childrey. Starting at the iconic Wantage Civic Hall, you'll follow a circular route that will take you past interesting locations and sneaky clues hidden in existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.

But be warned, Olsen and his gang of conspirators are always one step ahead. Only the most observant and clever agents will be able to solve the clues and crack the code before it's too late.

The fate of the statues rests in your hands… Can YOU save them and become the Great Code Breaker?
