How it works

 
The Great Game is a unique treasure hunt with real treasure (the pub with discount!) You will have an exciting day out enjoying solving the clues and exploring the city!

You are given a treasure map, compass and clues to find your way along the route. If you are successful you will reveal where to draw the X on your treasure map to show the location of your treasure - a great pub!

At the treasure you will receive discount off your total food and drink bill.
