Full description
Embark on a self-guided treasure hunt for a fun and unique way to explore Manchester. Receive messages to a phone from Captain Bess, a snarky pirate testing out new recruits to join her ship. Travel Captain Bess's carefully designed route through the city. Follow the treasure maps to get to the right place, then try to decipher the clue. Search high and low for the answer and see hidden sights usually missed by tourists. Ask for a hint to continue the journey through the city if the clues get too tough. Begin outside Piccadilly Station and sneak along peaceful canal paths and smaller streets, passing hidden gardens and magnificent squares. Learn interesting facts and hear stories along the way about the sights along Bess's route and get a better understanding of the history of Manchester. Get ready to explore Manchester in a new way through this fun and interactive treasure hunt.

Important information

What to bring

  • Comfortable shoes
  • Charged Smartphone
  • Internet access

Know before you go

  • A ticket is required for each participant.
  • You will receive a weblink to open on your mobile browser. The screen layout works just like WhatsApp and is very easy to use. You don’t need to print or download anything.
  • The treasure hunt must be completed in daylight, as it’s impossible to find clues in the dark
  • The game time depends on how quickly you complete the hunt, with the average between 1½ - 2½ hours. You will cover around 2½ miles and the route is step-free.
  • For larger groups, multiple games (to split the group) can be played 5 minutes apart.

Well worth doing a really good way to get out and about the city and see things you probably wouldn't usually while exercising yourself and your brain! Very well done and the recommendation of where to stop for lunch was also very good, would definitely recommend it.

Our family of two teens and two adults had a great time on this treasure hunt. The Captain Bess character in the app was fun and responsive. The clues were not too difficult. (But mind the admonition to plan for daylight hours, because some cannot be solved in the dark.) The tour took us through cool destinations and parts of the city we would not have otherwise seen. Thank you!
