Treason or Triumph? A House-Wide Puzzle Trail

Treason or Triumph? A House-Wide Puzzle Trail This Summer – Starting August 1st 2026

Long before he became Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell lived here in Ely—but now, amidst the turmoil of the English Civil War, a vital order concerning Parliament’s forces has vanished. If it falls into the wrong hands, the future of the city—and the country—could be in grave peril.

As you explore the historic rooms of Cromwell’s House, you’ll be challenged to solve a series of clues hidden throughout the building. Each discovery brings you closer to the truth—but the final outcome rests with you.

Will you uncover the missing document in time?
And when you do… will it mean treason—or triumph?
