What to expect
You’ll be led around the city by Captain Bess, a snarky pirate who’s testing out new recruits to join her ship!
Bess will send a series of maps, clues, and directions. You follow the map and solve the clue by searching for your surroundings. When you get the right answer, you’ll move on to the next place.
Don’t worry, if you get stuck you can ask for a hint and Bess’ll get you on your way!
Along the way you’ll see lots of sights and Bess will tell you some fun facts about some of them. It’s a perfect way of discovering things you might want to come back to.
The game works a bit like an online 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.

This might not look much but it really is enjoyable and at times challenging. It shows hidden parts of Birmingham's past and the impressive and very visible new parts. It is great if you don't like following a group.

I booked this as part of a daytime date - we went round at a leisurely pace, pausing to take photos, and didn't feel the need to stop for a break - it took us 2hrs. The treasure hunt was well thought out, very picturesque, and in itself a lovely walk. The clues were just difficult enough to ensure you are observant of your surroundings; I feel they have been pitched at a perfect "difficulty" level. Would definitely recommend to others and will be looking out for similar treasure hunts in other cities!Great route, interesting info and a good bar stop advised in the middle. Great way to see the city. Would be interested in doing it again another time if the questions and route changed
Great route, interesting info and a good bar stop advised in the middle. Great way to see the city. Would be interested in doing it again another time if the questions and route changedA good escape from shopping & a great way to spend time out of the hotel. Ideal length of time & mileage. Stopped halfway at 1000 Trades for a drink - a good suggestion.
