First May Bank Holiday Together? Set A Date Day With A Treasure Hunt Made for Two

The Early May Bank Holiday is basically nature’s way of saying: “Go on then, do something memorable.”

Enter Mystery Guides - turning a simple day out into a real-world adventure with hidden clues, winding streets and actual hidden treasure waiting at the end.

So the real question isn’t “what are we doing this weekend?” It’s: “what are we doing for date day?”

Because sitting in a packed pub garden arguing over whether it’s “too hot or just right” is not exactly romance-forward.

Make It a Mystery Guides Treasure Hunt, Not Just a Walk

Instead of drifting through town saying “shall we go that way?”, imagine turning your date into a full-on treasure hunt adventure with Mystery Guides.

You’re exploring cities like London, Sheffield, Bath and more, following clues, uncovering hidden stories, and slowly realising your partner is either:

a strategic genius or completely convinced every wrong turn is “part of the plan”

Either way, it’s better than just walking aimlessly.

A Mystery Guides treasure hunt turns a simple date into something with energy, purpose, and just the right amount of playful competition.

Sunshine + Clues = Surprisingly Romantic

There’s something about being outside in proper spring sunshine that makes everything feel a bit more cinematic.

• You’re not just on a date - you’re:
  
• Figuring things out together
  
• Laughing over wrong answers
  
• Stopping for spontaneous coffee breaks
  
• Pretending you didn’t both get lost on purpose (you did)
  

It’s relaxed, but active. Fun, but not forced. Structured, but not stiff.

Basically, it’s the sweet spot for a Bank Holiday date day.

The Best Bit? It Gives You Something to Actually Talk About

Let’s be honest - most dates end up circling the same topics:

• “What do you do?”
  
• “What shows are you watching?”
  
• “Do you like olives?”
  

A Mystery Guides treasure hunt changes that completely.

Now you’re talking about clues, weird facts about the city, competitive moments, and that one time you were definitely right about the direction (you weren’t).  It becomes a shared story, not just a shared meal.

A Date That Doesn’t Feel Like a “Gift”… But Kind of Is

Mystery Guides also makes a brilliant surprise date idea. No overthinking. No awkward planning spreadsheets. Just a ready-made experience.

It’s affordable, thoughtful, and doesn’t involve guessing wine preferences or jewellery sizes - which is always a win.

So What’s the Move This First May Bank Holiday?

• You could do the usual:
  
• Walk + café + pub = fine
  
• “Let’s just see what happens” = chaos
  
• Sitting in a park pretending you’ve got a plan = mild stress
  

Or you could actually make it feel like a date.

A sunny Bank Holiday treasure hunt group activity for two, where the whole day is built around exploring a city, laughing, and doing something that you’ll both actually remember.

Because the best dates aren’t the most expensive ones.

They’re the ones where you end up a little lost, slightly competitive, and very glad you didn’t just go for a boring dinner again! Order your Mystery Guides here.
