The Lost Treasure of Robin Hood's Bay - Can YOU Solve the Secret?

  • A map and some scribbled notes belonging to the infamous 18th-century smuggler, Count D'Monet, have been uncovered by the Intrepid Explorer Society.
  • The Count was so full of himself that he boasted that no adventurers would ever have the skills to navigate the narrow lanes or the brains to crack the tricky clues.
  • His great-great-great-grandson, Owen D'Monet, is just as big-headed as his ancestor and is bragging that he could easily find these items… he just can't really be bothered right now!
  • Can YOU pull yourselves together, get off your backsides, and use your top exploring skills to locate the Count's goods?

Birthday Party Details

Want a birthday that’s actually fun (and doesn’t involve everyone just sitting around)? A Treasure Trail is an easy, ready-to-go adventure that gets people outside, exploring and laughing together. Our pre-written Trails are suitable for children and adults aged 6+, and work best in small teams of around 4–5 people. Everyone follows the route, cracks the clues, and solves the mystery as they go.

How a Treasure Trail birthday works

  • Pick a location (choose somewhere local, or make it part of a day out).
  • Split into teams (4–5 per team works best).
  • Set the mission (a quick briefing + team names instantly boosts excitement).
  • Start times (stagger teams by 2–5 minutes to avoid copying).
  • Finish with prizes (more on that below!).

Children’s birthday parties: what to know

  • We get asked a lot whether Trails work for children’s parties.
  • Standard Trails are designed for ages 6+, but at that age they’re best enjoyed as a family group or mixed adult/child team, because the directions and clue-solving usually need grown-up support.
  • If you’ve got 20 energetic 6-year-olds and one adult, a standard Trail probably isn’t the right fit.
  • For older children (often 9/10+, depending on the group), small teams can work really well, but they’ll still need adult supervision, especially near roads and crossings.

Ready to plan your birthday Trail?

  • Pick a location, choose your Trail, and you’re good to go.
  • If you’d like help choosing a Trail that suits your group size, ages, and timings, get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.
