New Year? New Adventures!

Posted on January 1, 2025

Three intrepid explorers embarking on Treasure Hunt York

Here’s to new adventures in 2025 with Treasure Hunt York! Are you ready to assemble your crew, get outside, and see York in a whole new way?

January might be a darker and colder month than most - but a smooth sea never made for a skillful sailor! Captain Bess has unearthed the hidden treasures of York and it’s down to you and your crew to solve the clues and complete the quest.

Why choose a treasure hunt this January?

Whether you’re looking to get active, give your mental health a boost, or simply try something new, Treasure Hunt York offers the perfect blend of fun, challenge, and exploration. The route around York is 2 miles, making it ideal for a winter outing that gets you moving and keeps you entertained. The adventure starts at the Observatory in Museum Gardens.

How does it work? ☠️

It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together. Crews can be any size, although it might be more fun to split into smaller groups and see who can be the first to solve the final clue! (8+ are welcome too if you want to make a family day of it).

Test your essential pirate skills: follow treasure maps, solve cryptic clues, and keep a keen eye on your surroundings to uncover the answers. Captain Bess, your feisty pirate leader, will guide you through the experience by sending clues and messages straight to your phones.

Got the January Blues? 🔵

After the warm glow of the festive season, it’s easy to feel a bit low. But there’s a remedy! Getting outside, staying active, and spending quality time with people you care about can do wonders for your physical and mental wellbeing.

Treasure Hunt York combines all three, giving you a memorable adventure to kickstart your year on a positive note.

What makes us special?

“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.”
