What's involved

If you’re looking for a unique way to see the sights of the historic city of Cambridge whilst hunting for clues and solving puzzles, then Treasure Hunt Cambridge have got just the experience for you!

Meet Captain Bess, she’s a pirate looking for new recruits and she thinks you might have what it takes! You’ll be given maps, clues and directions to hunt across the city! Don’t worry if you get stuck, Bessy is there to give you helpful hints should you need them.

Starting your hunt at the beautiful, gothic King’s College Chapel, you’ll wind down medieval lane and pass by the iconic College buildings. See the sights of Senate House where students have graduated from for years, travel across the Mathematical Bridge and stroll through the medieval Market Square whilst you hunt down clues and improve your score!

Your hunt will end with a score being given to you by Bess, but it’s not a competition, so take your time, have a laugh with your mates and - most importantly - have fun!

Important information

The game works a bit like a WhatsApp group, but on a web page instead. You don’t need to download anything and it doesn’t need any permissions. Before you’re due to start, we’ll send you a link to the game. Open the link to join the game and share it with your team so they can join too. Once you’re ready, Captain Bess will tell you what to do next. Aim to finish before sunset—it's near impossible to find clues in the dark! You can play in 2 parts—if it suits your plans, you can pause the game and come back after lunch or even the next day. Please bring a smartphone with data and full battery, shoes appropriate for 2 miles for walking and waterproofs in case of bad weather. This activity is wheelchair accessible.
