Track Tricky Tom's Tremendous Treasure Trove!

  • Legend has it that the infamous 18th-century smuggler, Tom Johnstone, sailed into Lymington harbour with a ship full of plundered goods. But before he could enjoy his ill-gotten gains, he was thrown into jail. In a daring escape, Tom evaded capture and spent the rest of his days on the run. 
  • But before he died, he left behind a tatty old treasure map with scribbled notes that lead to a previously uncharted island. Since then, adventurers have been searching for Tom's treasure, but it remains unclaimed. Do YOU have what it takes to track down the notorious smuggler's loot?

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.
