Treasure Hunt Liverpool
Have fun and see Liverpool a different way
You’re going to Liverpool and you want to have some fun. There are so many cool things to see that it’s hard to know where to start.
It’s no fun wandering aimlessly. Feeling like you’re missing the cool areas or the lesser known sites. You don’t want to spend all your time looking at your phone, not actually seeing anything. With your other half getting bored and hungry.
What about planning your own route and hoping for the best? Sounds like a lot of work trawling blog posts and reading reviews. And you’ll probably miss the hidden gems as all the blogs just list the same attractions.
Will you find the quiet back streets or are you going to end up jostling with the traffic on the busier roads?
You know Liverpool has gorgeous buildings, cool places to eat and drink, and loads of interesting history too. It’s just a question of having fun seeing it all.
Pore over treasure maps and ponder cryptic clues.
Scour Liverpool's bustling streets to find the answers.
Follow a carefully designed route around Liverpool. Stroll through the Georgian Quarter with its fancy terraces and the two cathedrals. You'll explore the beautiful waterfront with the Three Graces and the Albert Dock. Take the lesser known path but still see the Albert Dock and the other main sights.
Spot things other people don't notice like the Tracy Emin sculpture, hidden in plain sight.
Learn some fun facts and stories like how the owners of the Titanic were too cowardly to face the public. Nothing too heavy, you're here to have fun!
Go at your own pace. If you're tempted by one of the many coffee shops, restaurants, bars and pubs, knock yourself out! It's your day.

We had such a laugh
The clues and the maps are a lot of fun. We learnt new things and appreciated the beautiful scenery as we went around the city.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone as it was such an amazing experience. We had a lot of smiles and laughter and haven't stopped talking about it since.
A much more active experience...
...than a regular tour as you had to read the stories and solve the clues; much more engaging than just listening to a tour guide drone on.

A different way to see Liverpool
A treasure hunt is more like a game than a traditional tour. You have to follow treasure maps, solve cryptic clues and keep your eyes peeled to find the answers.
You’ll have some banter with our friendly pirate Captain Bess. She’ll put you in your place if you get too many answers wrong!
Take your time, go at your own pace
You can start when you like, there’s no fixed start time. You can even finish the next day if you get stuck in a nice pub!
Fancy a bite to eat on Bold Street? No problem. Take it at your own pace. Enjoy the cafes and bars you'll spot along the way.
Play on your own terms. It's just you and your team, like a private tour.
A really fun way to explore + learn about Liverpool at your own pace
What a fantastic, fun way to explore the city + see things that we never would have come across just wandering around. Loved the flexibility to be able to stop + rejoin the game at anytime. Lots of places to eat and drink along the route. Myself, husband + couple of friends thoroughly enjoyed working as a team solving the clues. Lots of laughter + learnt many things too. We are now hooked - can’t wait to do another Treasure Hunt.

No spoilers... You'll see the best areas, but the real fun is finding the clues and noticing things in the city that you'd otherwise walk right past.
Fun way to discover hidden gems
The treasure hunt Liverpool provided a great walk around the city covering interesting not so well known view spots and at the same time made us think while solving the riddles.
The “bombed out church” - the church without a roof, now a classy outdoor bar and events space
RC Metropolitan Cathedral (Paddy’s Wigwam) - famous for its futuristic space-ship appearance and whacky circular design.
Hope street - the core of the city’s vast Georgian quarter, and home to some excellent bars and restaurants.
The Philharmonic Pub - Victorians at their most lavish, including Grade-II listed toilets!
Anglican Cathedral - an extremely large cathedral with a fabulous sunken garden behind.
The Albert Dock - the iconic red-brick building which survived two wars and a century of being derelict.
The Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool - the impressive trio known as the “Three Graces”.
Liverpool Town Hall & Nelson Monument - in the heart of the business district, the former financial powerhouse and home to fancy bars and restaurants.
Cavern Club & Mathew street - a buzzing centre of musical history, and of course the Beatles’ home venue.
Liverpool ONE - the city’s buzzing, modern open-air shopping district.
Bold Street - home of some of the best food and independent shops.

If it's properly raining you can play another day, or even split it over two days if you like.
If it's really heavy rain and you don't want to get washed into the Mersey, you can cancel for free, even if you've started the game.
Will it be too difficult?
Don't worry! The treasure hunt has some tricky clues, but if you get stuck you can ask for a hint.
We'll make sure you don't get completely stuck, wandering around the Albert Dock...
Will I have fun if I'm from Liverpool?
Yes! You already know the city, but we bet you'll notice things you've walked past a hundred times before.
We've worked hard to find the less-obvious stuff - beyond the typical blue plaques - and some interesting stories and anecdotes. You're going to have a great time!
Is it suitable for kids?
The game is designed for adults and curious kids aged 8 and up.
Younger ones are welcome though you may have to help by interpreting the clues and Captain Bess' pirate speak.
The whole route is pushchair friendly, avoiding steps or showing step-free alternative routes.
We’re a family of four with a 13 year old and a 11 year old. Mum was map reader, dad reminded kids about clues, and kids were hunting for clues.”
Great Sunday famo fun
It was a really great day and we have recommended to all our peeps!
Will it be too physical?
It's 3½ miles walking but there are lots of places to rest, like great bars and cafes and nice open squares to sit down.
