Treasure Hunt York - 2½ hour Sight-seeing Puzzle Tour

York’s ancient centre is full of hidden treasures and you’re going to discover them!

Starting at the fabulous Museum Gardens, you’ll sneak through a series of snickelways, passing churches, cathedrals and medieval Guildhalls.

Even York experts will surely spot something they’ve never seen before!

Itinerary

You’ll be led around the city by Captain Bess, a snarky pirate who’s testing out new recruits to join her ship!

Bess will send a series of maps, clues and directions. You follow the map and solve the clue by searching your surroundings. When you get the right answer, you’ll move on to the next place.

Don’t worry, if you get stuck you can ask for a hint and Bess’ll get you on your way!

Along the way you’ll see lots of sights and Bess will tell you some fun facts about some of them. It’s a perfect way of discovering things you might want to come back to.

Once you’re ready, Captain Bess will tell you what to do next.
