FAQ

How does it work?

You’ll join a chat on your phone with Eric Bloodaxe. Eric will guide you around York and give you riddles you need to solve. These riddles will relate to objects on the route and the answers will uncover the treasure.

How long does it take & when should I start?

The hunt takes around 1 hour, but feel free to take longer and have a break in the middle if you’d like!

The route is on public streets, but we recommend doing the hunt during the day.

What do I need?

You just need a smartphone with data & an internet browser to be able to access the chat.

Who is this for?

Anyone! This is a fun activity for anyone who wants to discover York and uncover a little bit of history along the way. You can play against each other in teams, or all together.

Where will we go?

Eric will take you around the historic centre of York and down secret ‘snickleways‘ too. The route is on public streets & in parks, but please bear in mind there are cobbled streets and uneven surfaces along the way.
