What is it?

Embark on a city treasure hunt that’s both a mental and physical workout. Can you solve the puzzles and crack the clues to uncover the treasure?

The treasure awaits at a great pub – with some even offering exclusive discounts (see the relevant question below for details).

Along the way, you’ll uncover hidden gems, iconic landmarks and fascinating stories that bring the city to life.

Racing

This race location has two treasure hunt routes that start from the same location and lead to the same treasure pub. Both are the same distance and cleverly interweave along the way.

Split into teams, choose your route, and race each other to the pub!

How it works

1. Choose your pack — hard copy or digital.
2. Once your pack arrives (if ordering the hard copy), you can start whenever you like. The hunt is fully self-guided.
3. Follow the clues, tackle the challenges, and explore the city as you uncover its stories and secrets – all leading you to the ultimate treasure: a great pub! (Some pubs even offer exclusive discounts – see details below.)
4. Details on pub opening times, dogs and under 18s can be found in the route information.

I'm confused about how many to buy for a Race Pack...

If you purchase for two people you will have 1 v 1, if you purchase for 3 you will have 1 v 2, if you purchase for 4 you will have 2 v 2 etc..

Each pack is for two persons only. For more people please add to the order, every person receives a personal compass and details to obtain the discount.

Choose your type!

Hard - Full pack including printed maps, clues sheets, end prize envelope compass, clipboard and bring your own pen to help us save on plastic and our carbon footprint :) (£3.49 postage for orders under £25).

Digital - Downloads emailed to you containing just PDFs of the pack.

We recommend this should only be used when there is no time for postage as the hard copy provides a far better experience.

It is strongly advised to bring a pen and paper with you for workings out and the use of a compass on a phone.

How does it work? There are two routes that start & finish at the same spot and are of equal length so it's possible to team up and race. Each race pack contains 2 treasure hunts 1 for each route (more info at the bottom).

• Start: Oxford Train Station OX1 1HS.
• Length: 2.25 miles, 3 hours.
• Treasure: Very old historical pub (20% off total food & drink bill).
• Route Info: This winding route across the city takes in all the famous landmarks as well as plenty of mysterious back alleys! 
• Note - Access to clue number 16 closes at dusk, if you arrive here after dusk use the grid reference in the answers to guide you to the next clue.
