Explore Oxford beyond the postcards with our Treasure Hunt! Working in small teams, you will walk through historic streets, colleges and museums, following clues that reveal surprising stories – from Alice in Wonderland to samurai armours, secret book rooms and famous bells.
Your task is simple but challenging: solve each clue, answer the questions, and take a team photo at every location – the first team to complete all the challenges correctly wins!
Finish the hunt by returning to Carfax Tower to meet your Activity Leader. Comfortable shoes, curiosity and a phone with a camera are essential!!
