Overview

A fun and different way to see Birmingham!

Solve satisfying clues and follow beautiful maps sent to your phones.

Spot things other people take for granted!

You’ll learn interesting facts and stories.

Everything is outdoors and you can do social distancing.

Itinerary

You’ll be led around the city by Captain Bess, a snarky pirate who’s testing out new recruits to join her ship!
Bess will send a series of maps, clues, and directions. You follow the map and solve the clue by searching for your surroundings. When you get the right answer, you’ll move on to the next place.
Don’t worry, if you get stuck you can ask for a hint and Bess’ll get you on your way!
Along the way you’ll see lots of sights and Bess will tell you some fun facts about some of them. It’s a perfect way of discovering things you might want to come back to.
The game works a bit like an online group, but on a web page instead. You don’t need to download anything and it doesn’t need any permissions.
Before you’re due to start, we’ll send you a link to the game. Open the link to join the game and share it with your team so they can join too.
Once you’re ready, Captain Bess will tell you what to do next.

    Superb fun, good value, great “ app” guiding your progress. Got to know our local city a lot better , fascinating. Highly recommend. Lots of effort gone into the hunt development and lots of “ by the way” historical info. Hard enough to be fun but not so hard as to be frustrating. Will look at another city one soon!!

    We don’t live far away from Birmingham at all and pop in and out of the city fairly often. We had a few hours to kill on this occasion with another family and in a bid to keep the kids entertained decided to do this treasure hunt. It was a brilliant experience, really well organised with simple to follow instructions. We loved how we could follow this on our phones without the need for any really detailed maps etc. This appealed to the kids too - in today’s digital world this is a huge bonus! We walked around areas that we thought we knew, but in fact learnt so much about Birmingham that amazed us! Who knew about the pen museum?! We’ve walked by the ‘Hall of Memory’ umpteen times and not really picked up on the detail of the sculptures and the significance. The hunt was fabulous to make us all really stop and think about our local history. We stopped along the way both at suggested ‘watering holes’ and others that we came across. It was fab to stop and start the trail at our convenience. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn and see a little more of Birmingham’s history!

    Easy to download. Fun getting the clues. Fun searching for and working out the clues. We did get lost a couple of times which meant a bit of extra walking but managed without asking for the optional extra clues. Had never been to Birmingham before and we did this on our first day which was a great way to find our way around. Ended up revisiting some locations the next day and did a canal trip etc. will definitely do more of these treasure hunts in other cities now. It is a lot of walking but breaks are scheduled into the tour and no time limit so you can take extra breaks whenever you like. Comfy trainers essential.

    What a brilliant way to spend a few hours. My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and learnt some excellent facts along the way and the lunch recommendation was awesome. Will definitely try another treasure hunt in a different city.

    Fabulous day. Great clues, nice bit of history along the way. All in all a good idea for a group. Or 4 groups in our case for a hen day
