What we’re about

This group is for people in the Manchester area who enjoy treasure/scavenger hunts, working out puzzles, and creative problem solving. It's also a great day out and something new to try, even if you've never tried a puzzle hunt before. 

Our events will weave lateral thinking, cryptography, riddles, scavenging, word puzzles, trivia, and imagery into real life and online. Hunts may have specific themes or be a general mixed bag.

Check out the group photo albums for a few examples (these were just pulled from the web, but the ones in the hunt will be original). Puzzles will be a combination of real world and online, and of a higher standard than your garden variety commercial family treasure hunt/puzzle trail (but still realistically achievable for most adults). Puzzles will be designed to be fun as well as thought-provoking, and you're welcome to stop in the pub between clues if you like!

One member will create the hunt, a second will check it (to ensure it is not too easy/hard, and is long enough and fun!). These two roles will alternate between all willing members. You can complete hunts as an individual or in small teams (same for creating hunts).

There is no cash prize, but if the entrance fees paid > the website costs, the first to complete the hunt will win a small prize (ranging from free entry in the following hunt to a chocolate bar or a giftcard if there's 20+ attendees). There is a nominal charge for each hunt, to cover the website charge and materials.
