  • Chester Town Hall Square - Treasure Hunt Chester will take you on a beautiful route, and send you to fab places, all at your own pace. Because it’s all on your phones, it’s super flexible and there’s nothing to print. You’ll have a laugh solving the clues and following the maps.

Something in a shop window catch your eye? No problem. Take it at your own pace. Even turn it into a pub crawl!

Along the way you’ll learn interesting facts and stories keeping you entertained. By the end of it all, you’ll have a great overview of Chester and what you’d like to explore next.

It works like WhatsApp, so it’s easy to use. You don’t need to download or print anything and it doesn’t need any permissions. Plus, you get to start when you want. Captain Bess will invite you and your friends to join the hunt. Bess sends you a series of treasure maps to your phones, leading you around the city, and a series of clues, so you have to search the city for answers.

Don’t worry if you can’t find the answer right away, you can always ask for hints. Along the way, she’ll tell you interesting facts and stories about the things you’re spotting.

A five star treasure trail - This was perfect for my 2 sons aged 12 and 10 and I. A great way to explore Chester and its history. We could all contribute to solving the clues, they were just at the right difficulty level. Great stop off suggestions too, thank you! Next stop us Liverpool!

Lovely exploration around Chester - Really fun tour of the city which allows you to appreciate some of the less common sights and interesting facts. I love that we could do the tour at our own pace and by ourselves. I'd love to see more tours from this company! The only downfall is that Chester city centre signal is not great, it would be great if the game could be played offline (not sure if that's possible!)

Fun for families - Great family activity! Saw parts of Chester I have never seen before. A good 2-3 hours depending on pace. Take an umbrella it is England!

Great day out in Chester - I booked this after looking for an escape room this experience came up on Google. I thought it sounded perfect for myself, my husband and visiting son. I live near Chester but saw things I'd never seen before. It was brilliant! The clues, directions and good humour had us hooked. We also had a few drinks while we went round the hunt. All 3 of us loved it and would definitely recommend. I will do another one day.

Really fun way to explore - This was a great way to explore Chester. The treasure hunt took us to some of the most interesting points in the city, providing fun clues and information along the way. Being able to have multiple players meant our children could get involved as well, which was great for keeping everyone engaged.

Incredible experience - well worth it! - Absolutely loved this tour! Got to learn some really interesting things about Chester and see some lovely sights! Ian and Paul have really thought the whole thing through and all routes are accessible which is great! Can’t wait to try another tour in a different city!!

Fun day of exploring beautiful Chester! - The treasure hunt was really fun and we got to spend time in parts of Chester we wouldn’t have visited otherwise. The route was very scenic.

Informative and fun! - A really fun way of discovering, in our own time (with a detours when we saw fit), the charming town of Chester. We saw interesting details that we might have missed if we'd been exploring under our own steam. Good weather was a bonus; I would not have enjoyed doing this in the rain! Our tour lasted about three-and-a-half hours and we managed an ice-cream stop. My only gripe would be that it was sometimes difficult to see whether we were on the correct path and there was nothing to warn us when we went astray.
