The year is 1560, and a trader has just arrived in Ipswich with a cart full of wool to sell. Queen Elizabeth’s reign is in its early days, and the streets are bustling with religious tension, disease, and danger. As a secret Catholic, the trader navigates the precarious landscape of Tudor England.

This self-guided outdoor escape game leads participants through 11 authentic historic sites across Ipswich. By downloading the free Questo app, players can start at Christchurch Mansion and begin the adventure at any time, without the need for a guide or booking.

The journey takes players from Christchurch Mansion to the Cornhill, where heretics were once burned at the stake, past the remnants of Blackfriars Monastery, through the eerily quiet Silent Street, and down to the historic waterfront quay.
