School’s out! (Didn’t they only just go back?!) Instead of looking ahead to days of screen time battles, you could try an interactive treasure hunt around Chester. Let the kids take the lead and have an adventure together!
Enjoy the city
Thank goodness the weather’s improving! And the long evenings means it’s a lot nicer being outdoors now.
But there’s a lot more to Chester than just the same old haunts.
Now’s a great time to spend some time together in the city centre, solving puzzles and seeing some brilliant stuff you’d forgotten about!
Treasure Hunt Chester is a great way to reconnect with the city.
Maybe you’ve been into the city centre a million times- with Treasure Hunt Chester you’ll discover places, people and things you never knew with our treasure hunt route- discovering fascinating stories and unearthing hidden gems- there’s a lot to love about Chester, isn’t there?
There’s no time limit so you can take your time and make a full day of it. Take a picnic and go at your own pace, or stop along the way (we’ve planned a route that takes you past some of Chester’s best spots for coffee, snacks and cake!) The half-way point is by the river with a great ice cream shop and a nice pub. Or enjoy a picnic in the lovely Grosvenor park.
It’ll keep the kids out of mischief for a good few hours and they’ll be worn out after rushing around looking for clues.
You’ll have fun puzzling over cryptic clues and following treasure maps.
“Kept our 2 children’s (13 & 10) attention throughout. Clues are pitched at the right level with good hints when needed.”
Suitable for kids 8+
The game’s designed for grown-ups - so you’ll enjoy it - and it’s suitable for kids aged 8 and up.
You’ll need to work together to help them with the cryptic clues.
The whole route is pushchair friendly.
