Ready for an epic day of exploration, puzzle-solving, and buried treasure? The Great Game has crafted an unforgettable adventure at the magnificent Birkhill Castle in Scotland—and it’s ready for you to conquer. This isn’t just a walk through history—it’s a full-blown quest that ends with a treasure chest you’ll dig up and unlock using clues you've gathered along the way.
Crack the Code Inside the Castle
Your adventure begins within the storied walls of Birkhill Castle. The halls echo with secrets and clues hidden in plain sight. As you make your way through the castle’s rooms, corridors, and hidden nooks, you’ll be solving puzzles, deciphering riddles, and piecing together fragments of a 4-digit code.
This code is key—literally. It unlocks a treasure chest buried later in your journey. But you’ll need more than just a code to find it…
Explore the Castle Grounds to Find the Coordinates
Once you’ve cracked the code, your quest leads you outdoors into the enchanting grounds of Birkhill Castle. Your next challenge is to discover the coordinates that point you to the exact location of the treasure.
You’ll need to explore:
-
The mysterious graveyard, where headstones hide cryptic clues.
-
The ruined abbey, steeped in history and secrets.
-
The walled garden, where symbols and signs offer pieces of the puzzle.
Each area provides fragments of map coordinates. Put them all together, and you’ll have what you need to reach the final stage.
Follow the Map to the Beach
With the coordinates in hand and the treasure code in your pocket, you’ll head to the nearby Scottish shoreline—a beautiful, windswept beach that holds the final mystery. This is where your metal detector becomes your best friend.
Scan the sand, follow the map, and use the clues to locate the buried chest. As the detector starts to beep, you’ll know you’re close. Dig down... and there it is: your buried treasure, sealed with a padlock.
Unlock the Treasure
Now comes the best part—take the code you discovered back in the castle, unlock the chest, and claim your reward. Whether it’s golden chocolate coins, keepsakes, or something truly special, this is a moment you’ll never forget.
