Relive your childhood with this fun-filled treasure hunt. You can opt for a gentle and fun hunt for treasure or a competitive approach by splitting up and going alone! Either way this activity is unique and fun to get involved in.
The treasure hunt is held on public land in either a city, rural or London location. There are two different sets of clues which are based on things you will see as you follow the route. The straightforward clues will ask you for a question that you should be able to observe on the route, for example information on a plaque or statue. In the cryptic version, the clues are generally a bit more challenging. They may be harder to spot, require some interpretation or general knowledge - a bit like a crossword clue.
You will also be provided with three bonus rounds that you can use alongside the main clues. These include:
- A picture round - Pictures of things you can see on the route, you will just need to write down where you saw the item pictured or find the name of the building or shop.
- Pub name clues - These are cryptic clues referring to the names of the pubs or bars that you can see on or from the route. (A few routes do not include this round because there are not enough pubs - see company website for details)
- Items to collect - A list of everyday, or not so every day, items for you to try to find or make as you go round the hunt route, for example 'a picture of the Prime Minister' (perhaps you could find or buy a newspaper).
The main clues are integrated with instructions for the route that you will need to follow. The instructions tell you where the hunt starts and which streets to go down. The main clues appear in the order you can expect to see them, but the picture and pub clues are jumbled up so you need to keep a look-out at all times.
Once you have redeemed your voucher and selected your location, you will receive a PDF file pack via email. You can then decide which sets of clues you want to use, print them off, and make as many copies as you need for the number of family members and friends taking part. As many people can take part as you would like, and they can enjoy the hunt at any time.
Please note, the London and city treasure hunts are all on foot, while the rural hunts will require a form of transport. All the rural hunts and many of the others are not a circular route so have different start and finish locations.
Please note: This is not an organised event, you will receive your treasure hunt pack to use in your own time.

When you arrive you will be provided with helmets, a bicycle lock, a repair kit and a route guide to get you ready for your tandem cycle.
Southwater Cycles is situated in beautiful countryside on the Drungewick lane cycle route which joins the Wey and Arun canal path and is also close to the Downslink Cycle route from Guildford, Surrey to Shoreham, West Sussex.

Hampton Court, LondonStacey from Customer Service, August 2019
|
We decided to take part in the Hampton Court bike tour during the August bank holiday. The weather was perfect for biking around the grounds, sunny and hot with a gentle breeze coming from river Thames which runs alongside the palace.
The meeting point for the tour was Hampton Court train station which is a cute little station, located next to the palace. Once your group have all arrived it is time to set off and collect your bikes. The tour started behind a pub over the bridge called the Prince of Wales. Each bike had its own royal name ranging from Anne to Henry. The bikes were vintage and had a spacious basket for you to pop your belongings in. Within our group there were 8 people which is the average sized group for the tour. Here is where our guide introduced herself and allowed us to test out the bike, all seats are adjustable to suit your needs.
Hampton Court is located on the edge of Richmond upon Thames due to the fabulous weather the streets were buzzing with people coming to visit the palace. The guide advised us it would be better to walk our bikes over to the palace instead of biking due the busy streets and narrow bridge. As soon as we reached the palace grounds, our guide informed us of where we going during the tour – through the gardens, along Chestnut Avenue, through the parks which were Henry VIII’s hunting grounds to the pub for a nice refreshment and back along the palace grounds via a bike trail next to the Thames.
Our guide led the tour and everyone could go at their own pace, she would stop at different places and wait for everyone to arrive before telling us stories and the history of Hampton court. The ground was flat and easy to bike around however the bikes do take a little getting used too.
The pub is called the White Hart which has a lovely beer garden full of flowers and live music which made for a perfect pit stop. Everyone had time to enjoy the scenery and a much needed drink before setting off back to Hampton Court whilst riding along the river Thames. The tour ended at the palace where the guide told us about Henry and his many wives. After which you were welcome to spend the day in the grounds or exploring the facilities around you.
Top Tip
Ensure you arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour start time.
