What to expect
Tudor House and Garden opens the hunt — Southampton's finest timber-framed survivor, layering 800 years of stories behind one crooked facade. Riddles poke into every era.
The Watergate Ruin follows, a fragment of the medieval walls where cargo and kings once entered the town. Trivia rebuilds the ramparts in your imagination.
At the Southampton City Art Gallery, clues linger over the columned Civic Centre facade and the collection behind it.
Expect around two hours from waterfront to walls. When the last answer lands, the leaderboard decides bragging rights over the Solent.
