Verulamium Park Adventure
An Alien transmitter has been hidden around the park and it is sending a signal to the Alien Fleet. Can you find and send the code to silence the transmitter ibn time to prevent an invasion?
Your Challenge
One night, not so long ago, under the cover of darkness, a small space craft landed in nearby woods. No one noticed. Aliens walked into Verulamium Park has hid an advanced transmitter somewhere in the park, and activated it. No human being could sense the signal but it reached the alien fleet, battleships ready to come down and invade earth. If the transmitter is not silenced the alien fleet will land and take over the Earth – so time is very important. The recent visitors hid clues to help others find the transmitter in the future,
Can you solve the clues around the park that will lead you to the transmitter, and find the single digit code that will save the earth. But you will only have three attempts! Good luck!
This game will normally last around 90 minutes but there is no restrictions on time. You will be able to stop the clock once to take a break.
Local History
St Albans is a historic town in Hertfordshire on the peaceful River Ver. The first settlement here dates back to the 1st century BC when a Celtic tribe built its capital at a place they called Verlamion, which translates as ‘place above the marsh’.
When the Romans invaded Britain in AD 43 they captured the settlement and established a fort beside the river crossing. They gave the fort a Latinised version of the Celtic name and called it Verulamium.
The Roman town was less than two decades old when it was burned to the ground by Queen Boudicca in her AD 61 revolt against Roman rule. Archaeologists have unearthed a layer of black ash left by the burning of the timber buildings. The Romans subdued the revolt and rebuilt the town, gradually replacing the original timber structures with stone buildings.
They made Verulamium into a bustling town with all the accoutrements of a civilised Roman settlement, including a forum, a basilica, and an amphitheatre capable of seating 6000 spectators. Verulamium grew to become the third-largest town in Roman Britain, behind only London and Colchester. They encircled the town with stone walls.
The town is named after a 3rd or 4th-century native named Alban, the first recorded Christian martyr in Britain.

Travel Information
St Albans is served well by trains – from London and the Midlands, and there are many buses from local towns, all quite regular. Parking in St Albans can be difficult during very busy periods and so you may need to park elsewhere and walk back to the start point, or wait for a space to come free.
