May gives you two long weekends — both wide open, with no obligations and plenty of daylight.
You could do what you always do: same mates, same pub, same four conversations on repeat.
Or — if you’re up for something just as relaxed, but with a bit more purpose — we’ve got you.
Here’s the challenge: complete two treasure hunts in two different cities this May.
One each long weekend? Go for it.
Both in the same weekend? If you’re feeling ambitious.
Either way, you’ll end up with a proper adventure — and a few good stories too.
Each game is self-guided, takes a couple of hours, and gives you a solid excuse to explore somewhere new. The clues are cryptic but doable. The maps are digital. And Captain Bess — your sarcastic pirate guide — sends messages to your phone, keeps you moving, and occasionally questions your decision-making.
She means well. Mostly.
You can start in Manchester, but we have games across the UK. The two nearest routes to Manchester are: Liverpool and Chester- both about an hour away, and our route in Birmingham is not much further!
Turn it into a day trip. Or a whole weekend. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Or go back somewhere you know, and see it differently.
Either way, it’s better than wandering aimlessly until someone gives up and suggests a Pret.
You’ll end up with:
Not bad, as bank holidays go.
“Had an absolute blast, only with they did other quests around Manchester as would definitely do more of these. Unlike other of these app based hunts, this was very specific to the city and had great history lessons included”
