Looking for a unique activity for your next family outing? Bring the family together, lace up your walking shoes, and embark on an unforgettable adventure with our family treasure hunt. Whether you're interested in exploring your own neighbourhood from a fresh perspective or discovering a new city, our treasure hunt packs promise hours of fun!
How it works:
Once you’ve purchased your activity voucher, a PDF pack with your scavenger hunt clues will be sent to you. You can choose from two different sets of clues:
1. The easy clues are perfect for all ages. These hints are straightforward and ask for something that can be easily observed during your treasure hunt, like gathering information from a plaque along the way.
2. The cryptic clues offer a greater challenge and are perfect for older participants. These clues might ask for something harder to spot, require some general knowledge, or read more like a riddle rather than a direct question.
In addition to the two sets of clues, you will receive three bonus rounds. These bonus rounds can be completed alongside the main hints and will add an extra element of fun to your adventure.
1. Picture Round: This round will challenge you to take pictures of specific places and objects you encounter along the treasure hunt route.
2. Items to Collect: As you progress on your scavenger hunt, keep an eye out for everyday objects listed in this bonus round.
3. Pub Names: If you're exploring a location with numerous pubs and bars, this bonus round is perfect for you. These cryptic clues will lead you to discover the names of various pubs and bars along the way.
Once you’ve received your treasure hunt pack, choose which clues you want to follow and print them off for everyone participating.
The scavenger hunt can be completed in a number of locations throughout England, including several treasure trails in London. Please keep in mind that this activity isn’t organised. You’ll receive your pack of treasure hunt clues by email and complete the experience on the day of your choice.
Treasure hunts in London and other cities can be completed on foot, while rural ones require driving. It's worth noting that most rural hunts, as well as the majority of city-based ones, are designed to be non-circular. This means that they will have a distinct starting and ending point.
You can choose the date and time you wish to do the treasure hunt, throughout the year.

 | Thaxted, Finchingfield and Great Bardfield (Essex)Jacki from Sales, September 2018 |
I took my 11 year old daughter and two of her friends; however it would be suitable and great fun for groups with multiple cars and varying ages competing against each other.
The girls used the ‘Easy/Family’ and ‘Picture’ questions. These questions were challenging enough for them and at times I did have to give them a clue!
It was a beautiful day and they loved walking around the villages looking for the answers. They took turns to read the clues / write the answers and our rule was the person sitting in the front of the car was responsible for reading the clues and directions to the next village.
The experience lasted approximately 3 hours and we visited 3 villages in total. However there were some beautiful coffee shops, tea room and pubs on route and depending how competitive you want to make it you could easily spend all day exploring.
The girls had a fun afternoon and for us it was a great school holiday activity. We didn’t use the Adult/Cryptic and Cryptic Pub Name and Bonus Items so I could organise a second hunt with a group of adult friends and family.
Top Tip
Get organised with clipboard, pens etc. maybe take some snacks in the car! Read the organisers pack and familiarise yourself with the route beforehand. On the team answer sheet they ask you to write an emergency contact number – good idea if doing this in small groups against each other.
