Treasure Hunt Brighton: The Palace and the Promenade

If you're looking for a different way to spend an afternoon in Brighton, the Treasure Hunt Brighton activity might be worth checking out. It’s designed as a flexible, fun way to explore the city, moving beyond the usual tourist routes by solving clues and following maps. The whole experience is managed through a group chat, similar to WhatsApp, where a character named Captain Bess sends you treasure maps and a series of cryptic clues. This means you don't need to worry about downloading or printing anything beforehand, keeping the logistics simple.

The specific route is called 'The Palace and the Promenade,' and it’s carefully put together to ensure you see the big landmarks—like the Royal Pavilion, the Palace Pier, and The Lanes—while also uncovering some of the hidden gems and details that are easy to miss. The walk covers about 2 to 2.5 miles and typically takes between two and two and a half hours to complete, not counting any stops you might make. One of the best features is the flexibility: you play at your own pace, meaning there’s no fixed start time, and you can easily pause for a break at a café or bar along the way. The clues are meant to be challenging, but if your team gets stuck, you can always ask for suggestions.

Beyond just being a fun game, participants also pick up interesting facts and stories about Brighton as they go. The starting point for the hunt is clearly set at India Gate, Pavilion Buildings, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1EE. In terms of cost, it runs at £9.99 per person. If you happen to be a business visitor with a conference pass, there's a special 20% discount available using the code BRIGHTON-WELCOME-20. This type of activity, offered by Treasure Hunt Brighton (and associated with Black Cat Treasure Hunts), seems particularly well-suited for groups—whether it’s for team building, celebrating a birthday, or just entertaining visiting friends and family.
