About This Cartridge

Welcome to Oval Cricket.

Not quite the Oval where cricket is normally played, but then you don't usually have a round pitch with a flower bed in the middle.
If only the wicket were in the right place. Someone has put the wicket at the bowler's end of the pitch and you need to move it to the batsman's end and knock it over to release details of the cache. The wicket is three pieces - turf at the bottom, stumps in the middle and bails on top. You can only move one piece at a time and they can only be placed at the Bowler's End, the Batsman's End or with the umpire. The pieces always have to be in the right order at any location - you cannot place the stumps on the bails or the turf on the bails or stumps - if you do the world will vanish and you will have to start again. I suggest you start by going to the Bowler's End (near the seat to your right if coming from the shops). 

Starting Location

The starting location is suggested parking - free, but limited to one hour during the day. The road is one way (north to south).

We're quite new to wherigo's and we really enjoyed this one. An interesting one for newbies like us! Once we got the hang of it and stopped feeling silly! We got there in the end. Good fun.....

Mrs D ran around while Mr D issued instructions. Really enjoyed this one. A classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle. We have done Wherigos before involving 4 and 5 items so this one was relatively easy.

Absolutely fabulous! I am so glad there was a crowd of us to make us look less strange? This is a great Wherigo. Thanks. J.
