Overview
The year is 1560 and you have just arrived in Ipswich with a cart of wool to sell. Queen Elizabeth's reign has barely begun, and the streets are alive with religious unrest, disease, and danger. You are a trader, and a secret Catholic, navigating Tudor England at its most precarious. This self-guided outdoor escape game takes you through 11 real historic locations across Ipswich. Download the free Questo app, start at Christchurch Mansion, and begin anytime, no guide, no booking required. Walk from Christchurch Mansion to the Cornhill, where heretics were burned at the stake, past the ruins of Blackfriars Monastery, through eerily quiet Silent Street, and down to the historic waterfront quay. At each stop, a puzzle challenge reveals the next chapter. Solve riddles, decode clues, and discover why Tudor Ipswich was one of England's most important, and most dangerous, towns. Perfect for history lovers, families, and anyone who enjoys an escape game with a real story.
