Short course · Self-guided · Oversubscribed since 1998

Where’s Gerald?

Gerald has occupied the same workshop stool since 1998 and can obtain any connector. He has never been found. Nor has his kettle. The course begins in the workshop, and no student has yet completed it.

Find what he has left about the College and bring yourself back to the stool. Mr Stobbs is on the path and has asked that the Fellows’ Lawn be kept off. He will know. Headphones help.

Finding Gerald · Completed

You turned round.

He was on the stool. He has been on the stool since 1998, which is where the course said to begin, and where every student before you started looking elsewhere. He has the connector you needed. It was in the shoebox.

Mr Stobbs has put the kettle on, the kettle having been found, and there is tea and a Victoria sponge on the path. On the path.

The College does not accept this completion. The course remains oversubscribed, Gerald remains unfound, and the People page will continue to show an empty stool. You know better, and so does Mr Stobbs.
