This is no ordinary treasure hunt. You carry a satchel of real magical artefacts, meet characters in shops and cafes along the way, and solve escape-room-style puzzles hidden in York's historic streets. Every clue brings you closer to unmasking the imposter wizard, and at the end you can see how your team scored on the leaderboard.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Self-guided: nobody will meet you at the start. A few days before your game (or straight away if you book at short notice), we email your game code and the exact start point on Micklegate. Check your spam folder if it hasn't arrived.
What to expect
Part escape room, part treasure hunt, this outdoor adventure is played with a GPS-guided app on your phone and a satchel of real magical artefacts. You'll visit landmarks and hidden corners of the city, meet characters along the way, and crack puzzles that test your observation, deduction and teamwork.
Teams of 2 to 6 players. Up to 3 hours 15 minutes to finish, including time for a break; most teams finish well within that. Best for ages 10 and up. Great for families, friends and team building.
