What To Expect

It's January 1327. You’re a townsperson, living outside the walls of the great Abbey of St Edmund. This abbey is one of the most important Benedictine monasteries in England.

Many visitors come here to pay respects to the relics of King Edmund. But you and your fellow townsfolk have become increasingly incensed by the wealth and power of the abbey.

Starting at the cathedral and ending closeby in the Abbey Gardens, you'll visit the town's top historic sites. Playing the part of a 14-century townsperson, you'll find yourself embroiled in the Great Riot of 1327. As you walk around the town with a growing angry mob, you'll need to solve some challenges along the way.

After your booking, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download and play the game on your phone.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
