Operation Survival

Sat 30 November 2019 - Sat 14 December 2019

Cambridge University Centre

Take part in a high-energy game about survival across four Museums in Cambridge.

To face a world in crisis a competition has been set. The Foundation for the Future is being formed. It could help humanity survive the many challenges facing our environment. It wants ideas for action. The Cambridge Act to Save the Environment society is up to the challenge, but it needs your help!

With a live leaderboard, 4 Museums, and clue hunting against the clock. Gather up your best team and join us for a fun and fast-paced morning in Cambridge.

Fire Hazard Games and the University of Cambridge Museums team up after the success of ‘Cambridge Codebreakers: The Last Secret’ to bring you Operation Survival.


Useful Information
Bring a (charged!) smartphone with a data plan

After booking tickets you will be sent a link to set up your team, along with full details of where to meet and what to expect.

Think Quickly, Move Slowly

Operation Survival is designed for adults (18+). You can join individually, or as part of a team (up to 5 players), and be as casual or as competitive as you like. (Though no running the Museum!) You'll need to be comfortable moving around at walking pace for a couple of hours. The game will run across the Polar Museum, The Museum of Zoology, Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences and Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.

The game can be made accessible with some small adjustments and we're very happy to help. Please let us know in advance via Fire Hazard Games on 0203 322 7086 or info@fire-hazard.net.
