Cambridge Scavenger Hunt and Highlights Self-Guided Audio Tour
Play, learn, and explore Cambridge at your own pace — no guide, no schedule, no limits.
The Cambridge self-guided audio tour combines interactive gameplay, historical storytelling, and insider local knowledge into a single two-hour walk through one of England's most celebrated university cities. Start at any time, pause whenever you like, and resume the next day if needed.
This activity runs entirely through a mobile app, giving you full control over the pace and direction of your exploration. Whether you stop for a long look at the Mathematical Bridge or linger in the shadow of King's College Chapel, the experience adapts to you.
Designed for couples, families, and groups alike, the tour blends a scavenger hunt format with an audio guide and curated local recommendations. It is among the most flexible ways to cover Cambridge's most significant landmarks without being tied to a fixed schedule.

Hidden corners of the university district, the story behind the Corpus Clock, and the geometry of the Mathematical Bridge all come to life through the app's audio narration and puzzle sequences.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins at this large open common at the heart of Cambridge. Parker's Piece carries unexpected historical significance, including its connection to the codification of the rules of association football.
The route passes two of Cambridge's most distinctive museums. The Scott Polar Institute documents polar exploration history, while the Fitzwilliam holds one of the finest art and antiquities collections in the United Kingdom.
The wooden Mathematical Bridge over the River Cam is one of Cambridge's most photographed structures, often surrounded by myths about its construction. Nearby, King's College and its famous chapel represent the architectural heart of the university.
The Corpus Clock on King's Parade is a striking modern timepiece with a mechanical grasshopper mechanism. Across the road, Great St Mary's church offers a tower view across the city's rooftops.
