Highlights

Eight centuries of scholarship, hidden doors, and medieval bridges — Oxford has it all, and this hunt takes you right through it.


This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Oxford on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.


• Stand before the Radcliffe Camera, Oxford's most iconic dome and the beating heart of its ancient library system
• Find the legendary Narnia Door and uncover the literary secrets hidden in plain sight around the city
• Cross the Bridge of Sighs, Oxford's answer to Venice, connecting two centuries of academic tradition


Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.


Oxford is a city of layers — and this tour peels them back one riddle at a time.

Itinerary

  • 35 Beaumont St

    Starting at 35 Beaumont St in central Oxford, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off into one of England's most storied cities. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the streets. The route leads you first to the Radcliffe Camera, the stunning circular library that has defined Oxford's skyline since 1749. The riddles here will test your knowledge of the city's academic history and the architectural quirks that most visitors walk right past. Next up is the Narnia Door — a carved wooden entrance tucked into the university grounds that inspired C.S. Lewis's most famous creation. The clues will ask you to look closer than most tourists ever do. The tour finishes at the Bridge of Sighs, Oxford's neo-Venetian crossing linking Hertford College's two buildings. It's one of the most photographed spots in the city, and the riddles add a layer of history that the photos never capture. Allow around 2 hours to enjoy the walk without rushing. Oxford has centuries of surprises — this tour makes sure you find them.
