The Tale of Canterbury

Het is 1164. De Engelse koning Hendrik II en de paus hebben ruzie. De koning heeft onlangs zijn vriend Thomas Becket benoemd tot bisschop van Canterbury, maar daar heeft hij de bevoegdheid helemaal niet voor. Het conflict loopt hoog op. Hendrik is dan ook zwaar teleurgesteld als zijn ‘vriend’ Thomas uiteindelijk de kant van de paus kiest.

De koning besluit een huurmoordenaar op Thomas af te sturen, maar die weet het klusje niet te klaren. Hoe is het mogelijk?! Hendrik is razend en roept iedereen op tot een klopjacht op de bisschop. Thomas moet maken dat hij wegkomt. Toen de twee mannen nog vrienden waren heeft Hendrik hem weleens verteld over de geheime uitgang van Canterbury. Over de precieze locatie is hij altijd vaag geweest. Thomas moet die uitgang vinden!

"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really fun and a nice way to explore the city, although several of the questions didn't make sense or seemed to have outdated answers (e.g. required us to look at something in the area that we couldn't find, or involved the colours of house doors that may have been painted since the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."
