Game 1 - ARCHIVED ALIVE! - Our historian will be history - unless you can save him!

The City Historian loves to gaze out of his office window overlooking Norwich’s magnificent 900-year-old marketplace, but today there is no face at the window and the historian hasn’t been seen for days. The poor fellow has locked himself in the secure archive vault. He ate the last fluff-covered boiled sweet from his pocket hours ago and his cup of tea didn’t last beyond the first day!

Crammed full of puzzles, curios, stories and surprises, his office contains clues to unlock the vault, and only you can save him before he becomes part of history himself. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FIRST TIME PLAYERS.

Game 2 - BODY OF EVIDENCE - Sometimes securing justice can be murder.

Ghastly discoveries on the streets of Victorian Norwich spark a murder hunt. In the historic cell block under the Guildhall, where the gruesome evidence was collected, you’re under suspicion for the crime. Can you piece together the clues to identify the body, convict the murderer and find justice for the victim? This real-life murder case lay unsolved for 18 years – you have just one hour!

Note: This game takes place in real gaol cells that held real prisoners who left behind graffiti using explicit and violent language that is not for the easily offended. A DARK AND INTENSE TRUE CRIME ESCAPE GAME.

GAME 3 - THE MERCHANTS' VAULTS (at The Museum of Norwich, Bridewell Alley)

You’re trapped in the past with no money, facing the horrors of debtors’ prison. Thankfully, Norwich has a long history of thriving industries – can you find a way to use them to survive the past and make it back to the present?

In these vast 800 year old underground vaults, you have exactly one hour to discover the secrets of the city’s prosperity and build your own fortune before time runs out!
