You will play the role of a person who lives in medieval Britain, under the rule of the Tudors. As a student at Cambridge, you joined a secret society, which fights to preserve prohibited books deemed revolutionary by the King.

Each riddle you solve will lead you from one place to another, giving you exact directions, so you won’t need a map, a GPS or a guide. When you solve it and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.
