These questions were challenging enough for them and at times I did have to give them a clue!
I took my 11 year old daughter and two of her friends; however it would be suitable and great fun for groups with multiple cars and varying ages competing against each other.
The girls used the ‘Easy/Family’ and ‘Picture’ questions. These questions were challenging enough for them and at times I did have to give them a clue!
It was a beautiful day and they loved walking around the villages looking for the answers. They took turns to read the clues / write the answers and our rule was the person sitting in the front of the car was responsible for reading the clues and directions to the next village.
The experience lasted approximately 3 hours and we visited 3 villages in total. However there were some beautiful coffee shops, tea room and pubs on route and depending how competitive you want to make it you could easily spend all day exploring.
The girls had a fun afternoon and for us it was a great school holiday activity. We didn’t use the Adult/Cryptic and Cryptic Pub Name and Bonus Items so I could organise a second hunt with a group of adult friends and family.
Top Tip
Get organised with clipboard, pens etc. maybe take some snacks in the car! Read the organisers pack and familiarise yourself with the route beforehand. On the team answer sheet they ask you to write an emergency contact number – good idea if doing this in small groups against each other.

What did the experience entail?
We thoroughly enjoyed a family day out to Lancaster where we were all able to take part in a fun-filled treasure hunt. The treasure hunt wasn't too tricky, nor was it too easy, which meant that everybody in the family could get involved - regardless of age. It was such a wonderful way to explore the city of Lancaster, which is something that we had never done before. It even came with some extra 'bonus' rounds, which provided the adults a bit of an extra challenge as we meandered through the city, and it created some fun competition between us both! Overall, it was an immensely fun day.
What did you enjoy the most?
We enjoyed exploring a new city whilst taking part in the treasure hunt - it felt like a fun game.
Top Tip
1. Make sure that everybody in the family is involved and willing to try - it's much more fun that way.
2. Keep your eyes peeled ALL the time!! The clues are up high and low.
