5 ways Treasure Hunt York makes the perfect date

  1. You’ll solve clues together As you know, working together, listening to each other, solving clues are a good way to see how well you work as a team, perhaps you’ll find out if team work really does make the dream work?

  2. Discover how one another thinks Treasure Hunt York is entirely self-paced so the stakes are pretty low, but you’ll soon see how well your date can think outside the box. Will they give up at the first hurdle, or are they up for a challenge?

  3. You’ll stop at some great places for cozy drinks We’ve carefully crafted routes that take in some great cafes and pubs in York so you’ll not be far from a cuppa or a pint if you want to take a break to talk about what you’d take with you if Captain Bess maroons you on a desert island!

  4. Sure to give you inside jokes Memorable experiences are a great way to deepen a connection, and with Treasure Hunt York you’ll go on a whirlwind tour, remember to have a laugh and not take our Bess too seriously! (She’ll help you out if you get stuck!)

  5. Takes the pressure off It can be tough getting to know someone new, or thinking of interesting things to do if you’ve been together for a while. We’ve got the plan, all you have to do is choose a day- you can even start now!

“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.”
