In cities across the UK, people have been seen tracing curious routes through winding streets, stopping suddenly to study hidden details, and exchanging triumphant smiles when a clue clicks into place… 

They’re not sightseeing in the usual way: they’re on a Mystery Guides adventure.

These 40-page, beautifully illustrated books are no ordinary guidebooks. They’re the champagne of treasure hunts - a sparkling, high-quality blend of storytelling, puzzle-solving, and exploration that turns an ordinary day out into an unforgettable experience.

Why “Champagne”?

Just like a glass of the good stuff, a Mystery Guides treasure hunt adventure feels special from the moment you start. The book itself is glossy, vibrant, and packed with charm. 

The plots are always unique; from chasing down Titanic’s missing millions in Southampton, to solving the theft of a golden tankard in Tudor Winchester, to tracking a legendary lost canary in Norwich, or uncovering Liverpool’s stolen golden record.

Each city has its own flavour, its own twists, and its own hidden corners waiting to be uncovered. You’re not just walking on a city tour - you’re stepping into a gripping story and becoming part of it.

How It Works

You begin with your Mystery Guide in hand. Inside, you’ll find a series of cryptic treasure hunt clues, rhymes, and puzzles designed to lead you through the city. Streets, landmarks, plaques, and even shop windows can hold the answers you seek.

Each time you solve a treasure hunt clue, you edge closer to cracking the case - narrowing suspects, revealing secrets, and experiencing your surroundings in a whole new way. The city becomes your playground, a giant outdoor escape room where history and mystery collide.

And just when you think you’ve reached the end, a surprise twist delivers that magical “wow” moment that takes your adventure from memorable to truly legendary.
