Five cheeky elves have hidden themselves throughout the city, and the team at City Sightseeing Oxford need your help to find them!
Join an open-top bus tour between 19th and 31st December to start the search, tracking down Buster, Artur, Twinkle Toes, Scout and Fable at key locations around the city centre. Solve their puzzles to unlock words, each of which comes together to reveal a secret festive sentence.
When you've cracked the code, head to the Elf Headquarters at the Visitor Information Point on High Street or Carfax Tower to collect a tasty reward.
