A Look At Mystery Guides Exeter 

In Exeter, for example, your treasure hunt adventure follows a series of treasure hunt clues that reveal the fate of the Golden Hind’s lost bell, a royal treasure hidden in the city for centuries. 

Mystery Guides Are Packed Full Of…

Every Mystery Guide route is packed with quirky facts, hidden details, and that classic “a-ha!” moment when you solve each treasure hunt clue. It’s fun, it’s educational (but don’t tell the kids), and it ends with a final “wow moment” that wraps up the story in style.

And yes - you can totally stop for snacks or an ice cream break along the way. That’s the beauty of it: no time limit, no pressure, just your group vs. the clues.
