Get hunting for treasure all around York this Easter!

Posted on March 28, 2023

Friends enjoying a drink together while playing Treasure Hunt York

Do something fun with your four day weekend this Easter. Treasure Hunt York will take you on an adventure around the hidden gems of York (including some great pubs if you’ve not got kids! 🍻)

A four day weekend is something to celebrate! Fingers crossed we’ll have some sun ☀️ in York 🤞. Whether you’re reaching for your sunnies or your wellies- get yourself and your shipmates into town and do something fun, go on a treasure hunt!

You'll see the main sights like York Minster but the real fun is solving the clues and spotting interesting details right there in the street.

How does it work? ☠️

It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together. (8+ are welcome too if you want to make a family day of it).

Test out your essential pirate skills - follow treasure maps, solve cryptic clues, and look carefully around the city to find the answers. You’ll be answering to Captain Bess, your bossy pirate leader who’ll send messages to your phones to guide you along the way.

Going away this Easter?

As well as our route in York, we have games in 11 cities, across the UK! If you’re off on a city break this Easter weekend, a Treasure Hunt is a fantastic way to discover a new place. All games are designed to last 2-3 hours and don’t forget you can take your time and find your own hidden gems too!

“We thought the clues were pitched at the correct level, not too easy and made you look very closely at your surroundings, without being impossible to solve.
We had a fun day exploring York with a few pit stops for refreshement between clues.”
