Autumn is a special time to enjoy Edinburgh: the scenery looks spectacular, the trees are turning yellow and orange and the crisp blue days are perfect for exploring. Plus, without the summer tourists there’s a little more space to enjoy the city!

Treasure Hunt Edinburgh is the perfect way to enjoy Edinburgh this autumn!

Edinburgh’s full of hidden gems, but they’re easy to miss. Our carefully designed route around the city will show you the best bits! Spot things other people don’t notice like the morbid contraptions defending against grave robbers.

A treasure hunt works more like a game than a walking tour. Have you got what it takes to solve the cryptic clues around Edinburgh? You’ll be put to the test by Captain Bess, a bossy pirate character who sends messages to your phones!

How does it work? ☠️

It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together. Crews can be any size, although it might be more fun to split into smaller groups and see who can be the first to solve the final clue! (8+ are welcome too if you want to make a family day of it).

You’ll be testing out your essential pirate skills - following treasure maps, solving cryptic clues, and looking carefully around the city to find the answers. You’ll be answering to Captain Bess, your bossy pirate leader who’ll send messages to your phones to guide you along the way.

“...exploring the city this way was so much more fun for us than going on a group tour. It was such a great and memorable experience, I can't wait to go to more cities they offer treasure hunts in.”
