Explore Cambridge at your own pace

On these winding Cambridge streets, time twists and doubles back-a monstrous golden clock devours the minutes as ancient secrets echo from college walls. This isn't just sightseeing; it's a self-guided audio journey that lets you uncover hidden rebellions, legendary feasts, and mind-bending inventions where most wanderers see only tranquil courtyards.

Who dared to loot and burn Corpus Christi College during an infamous medieval uprising? Why does the Mathematical Bridge inspire a thousand myths of impossible engineering and daring student pranks? What haunted promise is whispered below the blinking grasshopper of the Corpus Clock, as every second vanishes for good?

Roam between shadowy archways and glinting rivers, tracing the footsteps of rebellious scholars, cryptic scientists, and poets with dangerous secrets. Each stop holds stories layered beneath stone and glass, waiting for discovery with each new turn.

Offline: download once and use it with no data, anywhere

At your own pace: start, pause and resume whenever you want

Accurate: every story is built from verified historical sources and checked before release
