More about our Overseas Students Durham treasure hunt...

What you get. Our treasure hunts are pre written so all you need to do is buy one and you're set with everything you need.

You can order a printed hunt which we will post to you, or you can buy a downloadable hunt to print yourself or view on smartphones, ipads, kindles etc. Hunts are available all year round (and probably much cheaper than hiring a tour guide)

How Long? The hunt will take up to two hours to complete. On lighter evenings, our hunts are an ideal after dinner activity, marking the answers back at your accommodation with supper.

Once you have completed your hunt, join our member's area and personalise and print your very own huntfun certificates!

Just wanted you to know that we had a wonderful time treasure hunting around the city of Bath .........
