What's involved
If you’re looking for a way to get lost and explore all the nooks and crannies of busy and bustling Birmingham, grab some mates and bring them along for an ultimate treasure hunt with Treasure Hunt Birmingham!
Meet Captain Bess, she’s a pirate looking for new recruits and 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.
Described as the ‘city of a thousand trades’, you’ll not only explore the busy business quarter, as well as enjoy vthe juxtaposition of some of the many beautiful canals situated on the outskirts of the city.
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!
