Your Experience

Follow in the footsteps of Cambridge's most famous alumni in this self-guided exploration game, from the scientists behind the shape of DNA and the electron to the inventor of the computer. As an Uncanny Zoologist, capture the magical creatures that have escaped from a secret university lab, following picturesque alleyways from the Guildhall past The Eagle pub and Pembroke College to the University Library, Trinity College and Market Square.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 3 km and takes around 2.5 hours, with no time limit.

Can you catch the creatures before chaos breaks out?
