Look at Bristol differently this Autumn πŸ‚

Perfect timing. Autumn’s here, Bristol looks incredible, and you’ve been thinking about that team outing/friend gathering/family adventure that needs organizing. Good news: we’ve already done the hard work. The route’s planned, the clues are set, and those golden autumn days are calling.

Here’s something different for your group.

You know those hidden details in Bristol that most people walk straight past? We’ve built a trail around them. Your crew will discover things like the franken-sculpture made from recycled statues – the kind of spots that make people say “How long has that been there?” Trust us, even the locals on your team won’t have noticed half of this.

How it actually works πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

No tour guide, no rigid schedule, no shuffling in a line. It’s self-guided – you set the pace, choose your stops, keep things flowing. Everyone gets the clues on their phones from Captain Bess (our pirate guide who keeps things moving). You can split into teams if you want some friendly competition, or stick together. Your call.

The details you need ☠️

Built for adults and takes between 1½–3 hours depending on your pace (and pub stops – we’ve marked the good ones). The clues are properly challenging – enough to get people working together without anyone feeling lost.

You’ll follow treasure maps on your phones, solve cryptic clues that actually make sense once you crack them, and discover parts of Bristol that’ll genuinely surprise people. Captain Bess keeps everyone engaged with messages that hit the right balance between helpful and entertaining. It just… works.

β€œWe had a terrific time exploring Bristol as part of a team building day. The instructions were clear, the experience on the day was excellent, and the technology worked really well. Thoroughly recommended!”

Why it works for groups 🀝

You know what makes a good team activity? Something where everyone contributes, nobody’s checking their phone (except for clues), and there’s natural conversation starters built in. That’s this.

Book it, share the link, turn up. We send you an organiser’s pack that covers everything – meeting points, timing suggestions, leaderboards. The route’s accessible and there are natural break points if people need them. Full details for team organizers here πŸ“‹.

Quick logistics: Works for 2-100+ people, rain or shine. Most groups between 1½–3 hours including stops. Questions? We’ll sort it.

“Really enjoyed getting our bearings around Bristol in a fun way! The pirate theme worked well and the clues made you think but weren’t too complicated”
