QUEST  WITH  ARTHUR

Arthur needs people with curiosity and imagination to help him. 

• Will you explore a place near you?
• Will you see if you can find anything he might recognise?
• Will you make some wonder cards to help him find his way around?
• Can you answer his questions?

What do you think Arthur has discovered?

• Scroll down this page to find the list of places to explore.
• Choose the place you want to explore and click to open the Explorers’ Pack.
• Read through all the instructions.
• Visit the Detective School to find out about detective work.
• Get ready to quest for the information you will need to complete your Place Report. 

 This web site is mobile friendly so you can take all the information on your tablet or smart phone but you must be sure that you can access the internet where you are going.  If you think this could be a problem you should save the Explorer's Pack and The Knowledge Sheet that goes with it to read offline or download and print it out. The information on the Knowledge Sheet has been extracted from the Time Traveller's Guide.
