Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book in advance?
No, if you’re a small group you can book and start playing immediately. For larger groups we want to ensure you aren’t overlapping other big groups, so best to book early (you can always cancel later.)
How long does a treasure hunt take?
Most of our treasure hunts take 2-3 hours without breaks. In some cities some cities we have a shorter option. Some teams are really fast, others like to stop along the way and make a whole afternoon of it.
Is it suitable for families / kids?
It’s primarily designed for adults with cryptic clues and tricky language. It’s suitable for 13+ with strong English.
How much does it cost?
It normally costs £12.50 + VAT per person. At the weekend there’s a Weekend Group Offer where 6 people can play in one team for just £30.
Is it dog-friendly?
All our treasure hunts are entirely outdoors or have outdoor alternative routes. We try to suggest pubs and cafes tat are dog-friendly too.
