With Treasure Hunt Birmingham you’ll see some of the best bits, and hidden gems that Birmingham has to offer. Whether you’re travelling for miles or minutes, grab your shipmates and keep reading!

How does it work? ☠️
It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together. If you’re adventuring with a large crew, we recommend splitting into smaller groups and seeing who can solve the final clue first! (after a few refreshment breaks along the way of course!) Captain Bess, our bossy pirate leader, sends cryptic clues, and treasure maps to your phone, shipmates work together to solve the clues and discover the next part of the journey. Ages 8+ are welcome too if you want to make a family day of it!
