The Anne Boleyn Scavenger Hunt
May 5–19, 2025
15 Days. 15 Clues. One Woman’s Life—Reclaimed.
Anne Boleyn was more than a queen who lost her head.
She was a daughter, a reformer, a queen, a mother. And she was a woman whose story has been told and retold through centuries of speculation and scandal.
This May, you’re invited to take part in a free, self-paced online scavenger hunt that will lead you through Anne’s story in a way you’ve never experienced it before.
Starting on May 5, you’ll receive the first clue by email. Solve it to unlock the next.
Each puzzle takes you deeper into Anne’s world starting with her early life in Europe, her rise in Henry’s court, her years as queen, and finally, her last days in the Tower.
You can go at your own pace taking one clue per day, or settle in for a longer session and work through several at once. However you move through it, you’ll be uncovering Anne’s life one thoughtful step at a time.

Praise and Testimonials for Heather's Programs
Heather overdelivered as usual. The videos were fun and informative, and even though I couldn't attend the online calls live, I loved watching the replays and being part of the group!
Debbie ● from Mythbusting the Tudors
I'm not the most tech-savvy, and was worried about whether I'd have trouble accessing everything. But it was all simple.
Amber ● Online Tudorcon Attendee
Having read Tudor history for years, I wasn't sure I would learn anything new, but I was looking forward to the videos, and the price was right. I did learn some new things, thought about some things I already knew in a new way, and made some friends.
