    The story so far...

    The year was 1867, while researching in the Norwich Cathedral archives an inconspicuous local author called Anna Sewell came across a long forgotten text that seemed to speak of the supernatural. Very soon the three symbols from the manuscript started appearing around the city. After a week Sewell had decoded it as some kind of ritual and their meanings as: truth, fire and death. Arriving at the scene the next day she was too late, an innocent woman was found murdered nearby.

    Now, exactly 150 years later, it could be happening again. Having received a ominous video message Detective Ranney has once again enlisted your help with this new case. It's been a week already and the race is on, with Sewell's old notes and contemporary clues, you must solve the mystery of the Obeli and save the next victim before it's too late.


    Please Note - The collection point will be from Cryptic Escape, Augustine Steward House 14 Tombland, Norwich NR3 1HF.

    On event day players need to bring their printed tickets to the collection point from 10am-12pm. Players then have until 4pm to finish the game - it should take between 2-3 hours to complete.

    IMPORTANT - Please Note:
