Making Treasure Hunt Birmingham Accessible for everyone

At Treasure Hunt Birmingham, we believe fun should be for everyone. That’s why we design our experiences to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring no one is left out.

When planning our route, we make sure to avoid steps, narrow paths, and any obstacles that could get in the way. We also ensure there are dropped kerbs along the route, making it easier for wheelchair users, pushchairs, and anyone who needs them.

We noticed two spots where dropped kerbs were missing. We reported these to the Council through FixMyStreet, and we’re excited that a few months later, the Council installed the kerbs. This improvement makes both our treasure hunt and the city more accessible for everyone.

We’re committed to making sure Treasure Hunt Birmingham is enjoyable for all. So whether you’re visiting the city, celebrating with friends, or on a team-building day, you can count on a route that’s easy to navigate and fun for everyone.

“Good fun, we really enjoyed ourselves. Solving the clues was interesting and I think there's a good mix to suit all ages. A different and fun way to see the city, it included some nice stops.”
