Two long weekends. Two cities. One decent story to tell afterwards.

Posted on May 1, 2024

Three intrepid explorers embarking on Treasure Hunt Brighton

May gives you two long weekends — both wide open, with no obligations and plenty of daylight.

You could do what you always do: same mates, same pub, same four conversations on repeat.

Or — if you’re up for something just as relaxed, but with a bit more purpose — we’ve got you.

The Mayday Challenge

Here’s the challenge: complete two treasure hunts in two different cities this May.

One each long weekend? Go for it.
Both in the same weekend? If you’re feeling ambitious.

Either way, you’ll end up with a proper adventure — and a few good stories too.

Each game is self-guided, takes a couple of hours, and gives you a solid excuse to explore somewhere new. The clues are cryptic but doable. The maps are digital. And Captain Bess — your sarcastic pirate guide — sends messages to your phone, keeps you moving, and occasionally questions your decision-making.

She means well. Mostly.

How it works

You can start in Brighton, but we have games across the UK. The two nearest routes to Brighton are Oxford and Cambridge, both just over 2hrs away.

Turn it into a day trip. Or a whole weekend. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Or go back somewhere you know, and see it differently.

Either way, it’s better than wandering aimlessly until someone gives up and suggests a Pret.

So what’s the reward?

You’ll end up with:

Not bad, as bank holidays go.

“You can stop at any point & have a walk around where you are and the just return to the tour & pick up where you left off. We did the tour in 40mph winds & rain & still enjoyed up...I bet it’s even better on a sunny day”
