Before you set off
- Suggested area
- Bristol. See the map below for the suggested area to gather before you play.
- Be comfortable
Adventure is much more fun when your feet aren’t staging a protest. Wear comfy shoes, dress for the weather and check the forecast before you head out.
If it’s warm, take some water. If rain looks likely, bring something waterproof. Come prepared for exploring, wandering and the occasional unexpected detour.
- Bring your phone
Your phone is your guide, puzzle master and key to adventure. Make sure it’s fully charged before you set off. A power bank is a good idea for longer adventures, and keep an eye on your battery as you go.
You’ll play in the PuzzleDuck app. Have a connection available to open the hunt and sync your progress.
Look up, watch where you’re walking and stay aware of roads, other people and everything happening around you.

About this hunt
Ships, steep streets and surprises around every corner…
Explore Bristol on an app-guided treasure hunt that takes you from its lively harbourside to historic streets and the green heights above the city. Waterfront warehouses, grand architecture, stepped lanes and elegant squares create a varied backdrop for an adventure full of discovery.
Along the way, encounter echoes of ocean voyages, engineering ambition and Bristol’s trading past. Discover creative touches among the modern waterfront spaces, then explore older corners where timber-framed buildings and decorative stonework reward a closer look. Leafy hillside paths bring a change of pace—and a chance to enjoy the views.
Let the app guide you as you solve puzzles, examine your surroundings and put your team’s ideas together. Look beyond the obvious landmarks: an unusual sign, a carved detail or a few words on a plaque could spark your next “aha!” moment.
With uphill stretches and steps adding to the adventure, this is a hunt for those who enjoy exploring a city from different angles. Gather your favourite people and see what Bristol has been hiding in plain sight.
Follow your curiosity—from the water’s edge to the rooftops.
