Roaming with RAMM
Each Roaming with RAMM treasure hunt challenge will start outside the museum encouraging you to explore the city on foot, unravelling a riddle to discover a fascinating historical object. Clues will be released across the museum’s social media channels and as a PDF available to download from RAMM’s website. For those who get stuck, each challenge will include links to helpful hints to get you going on your way again!
Monster Hero Trail
This is a new interactive family story-trail around Exeter which works on smartphones, challenging families to find hidden ‘MonsterHeroes’ around the city which appear on the phones when you reach their hiding place. Once all 10 Monster Heroes are found, a free e-book, that tells the story of their first team-up, will be unlocked!
The trail normally costs £2 but InExeter is offering the first 100 people to register the chance to play it free of charge – so be quick! Click here for more information.
