Highlights
  • Oxford Town Hall - Transforming Oxford’s Streets into an Adventure Playground!

Discover Oxford’s streets by unlocking a hidden trail through clues, puzzles, and challenges, earning points along the way, all self-guided via the Go Quest Adventures app. Experience the area’s highlights, uncover its hidden treasures, and learn fascinating facts as you go.

Your adventure begins in the historic medieval city center, winding through iconic streets and leading you to the grounds of some of the University of Oxford’s most renowned colleges. You’ll weave through small alleyways and conclude at the historic Oxford Castle. Learn about Town & Gown conflicts, find out where C.S. Lewis might have drawn inspiration, see if you can spot J.R.R. Tolkien’s ghost, and visit the spot where former US President Clinton famously ‘didn’t inhale,’ all while dodging students on bicycles.

So don your caps and gowns, slip on some comfortable shoes, and get ready to explore the sights, uncover hidden gems, and ultimately conquer your Oxford City Centre Quest!

This is a perfect outdoor activity for couples, families, friends, school groups, and can also serve as an excellent team-building or corporate event.
