Mix it up with Treasure Hunt Chester this Father's day

Posted on June 1, 2024

A pirate map leading to grog for father’s day!

With Father’s day coming up, it can be hard to think of something original to get for your dad. Is it going to be another gift pack of beers with a cheesy card from Tesco? You can do better!

How about mixing it up this year with a trip into town to play Treasure Hunt Chester? It’s a fun way to spend some quality time with Dad, getting out the house in the (hopefully) lovely June weather.

“I liked that we could go at our own pace and stop for coffee or lunch whether we saw a nice spot. We took a buggy with our baby daughter and we appreciated that the route was accessible for us with dropped kerbs and no steps.”

It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together (8+ are welcome too if you want to make a family day of it).

You’ll be testing out your essential pirate skills - following treasure maps, solving cryptic clues, and looking carefully around the city to find the answers. You’ll all be led around the city by a bossy pirate character who sends messages to your phones.

Plenty of pubs 🍺

Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time for ale and grog along the way if Dad rebels. We’ve planned a carefully designed route that passes some of Chester’s best pubs and cafes so you won’t go thirsty.

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.

You’ll find some useful info for your voyage here.

Last minute? No problem! ⌛

What’s more, if you’re disorganised like me and you’re reading this on Sunday morning, no problem! You can book last minute, unlike the restaurants which are all booked up.

Have a laugh this Father’s day, book now!

“We loved puzzling out the clues and each one of us was able to contribute something to solve the puzzles. This activity was a great way to explore the city and we spent four hours on the treasure hunt, with leisurely stops for lunch, coffee and ice cream.”
