Our Personalised version is printed in full colour and each booklet is supplied with a free huntfun pen and a personalised message on the cover for you.

Our PLUS4 version is just that! You get the full colour personalised Barnard Castle treasure hunt booklets etc as above PLUS we add 4 extra pages to each hunt booklet with 4 clues and pictures you have sent to us to add! We also add the answers to the answer sheet. Get in touch re this and we can tell you more about it! (Please note, as a learning activity we recommend no fewer than 3 and no more than 5 in a team)

You are told where to start your treasure hunt, given simple directions to follow and a map of the area. In between directions you have questions to answer, the answers are found in the surrounding area for e.g. on buildings, plaques, signs and statues. You will also be set some extra scavenger tasks to complete. These are optional and include collecting things, photo opportunities and other fun activities! The aim of the hunt is to gain as many points as possible by answering the clues correctly and completing the extra tasks.

Once you have completed your treasure hunt and gathered back into your group, you can swap booklets to mark the answers. Following this, you can visit the members area on our website where you can personalise and print your very own huntfun certificates. (There is no actual treasure at the end by the way sorry!) The winning team is the one with the most points!

Most of the route is passable but there is a steep incline and not all road crossing points on the route have dropped kerbs.
