The booklet includes a spooktacular activity guide to enjoy on the river, featuring ghoulish spot-the-difference challenges and creepy college makeovers. Complete the puzzles to solve the code and claim your prize: a delicious Halloween-themed sweet treat from Hardy’s Sweet Shop.
The second half of the booklet is a city centre scary scavenger hunt taking you to Cambridge’s most haunted spots. Learn about Cambridge’s ghosts and ghouls whilst exploring the city centre and taking some fantastic photos! Watch one of our spooktastic tours here!
Activity booklets are available as an Add-On once you have selected your punting tour. Ensure you are booking between the right dates for the option to appear. Please select the number of booklets you would like to purchase, we recommend one per child so they can all complete the activities and receive their sweet treat!
On the day of your punting tour, the booklets and pencils will be waiting for you at the river. Please ensure you have collected your booklet(s) before boarding your punting tour. Your sweet treat can then be collected from Hardy’s Sweet Shop after your tour (1 treat per booklet).
Once you have finished your punting tour & cracked the code head into town to claim your prize and complete the second half of your booklet – a city centre scavenger hunt.
The booklet is designed for children aged 4-10 (although older and younger children may enjoy joining in). The punting activities are specifically designed to appeal to younger children and the city centre scavenger hunt is aimed at the older children.
