Can you crack the code before it's too late? 

Codebreakers is no ordinary family tour—it’s part scavenger hunt, part escape room, and 100% thrilling! Your mission: solve a series of puzzles, codes, and clues that will lead you through the Museum’s galleries. Along the way, uncover the identity of a rogue agent from the mysterious Shadow Society, determined to raid the Museum’s collection!


Your toolkit:
Hire a Codebreakers Kit from the Information Desk and receive:

  • A sleek black bag packed with jigsaw pieces and special glasses
  • A Vade Mecum Guide to Codes and Ciphers booklet to record your evidence and keep as a souvenir

Please note: ID is required to hire a kit. Participants will need a device capable of scanning QR codes.

The Codebreakers kit, featuring a little black bag, jigsaw pieces and glasses, lies on a wooden floor.


Who can play?
This adventure is fun for all, best suited to mixed-age groups with participants aged 8+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

One kit = up to four players.
Allow two hours to complete your mission - if you dare.
