The Story of Peterborough
Starting location: Beginning of Cattle Market Road
Peterborough, 1587. Gravedigger Robert "Old" Scarlett has just buried Mary, Queen of Scots, when a dark secret from the past resurfaces. A hidden scroll containing revelations about a powerful brotherhood threatens to cost his life. The old man must flee - with the scroll under his robe and a cryptic tome in hand. With the Escape Tour Peterborough, you will follow in Old Scarlett's footsteps!
Old Scarlett found the scroll during a previous job in the crypt. Instead of destroying it, he kept the information as a means of blackmail. That’s how he managed to keep the brotherhood quiet for years. But now they sense their chance! If they get their hands on the scroll, they can restore their power and mercilessly settle the score with everyone who ever opposed them. And that could cost Old Scarlett his life. He must find a way to smuggle the scroll out of the city.
