The Tale of Canterbury

Starting location: 25 High St

It is 1164. The English king Henry II and the pope are quarreling. The king has recently appointed his friend Thomas Becket bishop of Canterbury, but he does not have the authority to do so at all. The conflict runs high. Henry is therefore deeply disappointed when his \\\"friend\\\" Thomas finally sides with the pope.

The king decides to send an assassin on Thomas, but he does not manage to finish the job. How is it possible! Henry is furious and calls everyone to a manhunt for the bishop. Thomas has to get out of there. When the two men were still friends, Henry once told him about the secret exit from Canterbury. He has always been vague about the exact location. Thomas must find that exit!

"ok, so we are not great with technology but found it pretty easy to set up on the phone. We all liked the satnav to place, sort out clues then move on. We got one wrong because we were stupid, got the next one wrong because something had changed locally but cannot see where we are meant to notifiy the people running it. Overall it was a very good experience and one we will repeat at other locations "

"This was a really fun way to see the city. We liked that it was based in history and took us down roads we had not walked down before. Loads of fun and interesting facts too."

"This escape tour was really fun and a nice way to explore the city, although several of the questions didn't make sense or seemed to have outdated answers (e.g. required us to look at something in the area that we couldn't find, or involved the colours of house doors that may have been painted since the question was created). Luckily we were able to find the secret exit without all the letters, so although it was annoying at the time it didn't matter too much in the end."
