Description

The Clitheroe Mystery Treasure Trail is a self-guided outdoor detective adventure set in the historic market town of Clitheroe, Lancashire. It follows a fun fictional story, “The Great Clitheroe Sausage Scandal”, where players help solve a mysterious crime. The Trail is designed for families, friends, and visitors looking to explore Clitheroe in an interactive way.

The Trail starts at the Castle Museum near the Castle Keep and follows a 1.2-mile circular route through Clitheroe’s streets and back to the Castle grounds. Participants solve detective-style clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, eliminating suspects as they go. The experience is self-guided, suitable for ages 6–106, takes around 1.5 hours, includes a mobile text clue service for help, and gives all correct entries a chance to win a monthly £100 prize draw.

The Treasure Trail costs £9.99, with one Trail booklet suitable for 4–5 people. The Trail can be posted to you or downloaded instantly for immediate use. The same Trail can also be used for birthday parties, working best when split into small teams of 4–5 players, with adult support recommended for younger children.

The Clitheroe Mystery Treasure Trail offers a fun mix of storytelling, problem-solving, and local exploration. It’s an engaging way to discover Clitheroe’s history while enjoying a light-hearted mystery. Ideal for families, visitors, and small groups, it turns a simple walk into a memorable detective adventure.

Birthday Party Details

Want a birthday that’s actually fun (and doesn’t involve everyone just sitting around)? A Treasure Trail is an easy, ready-to-go adventure that gets people outside, exploring and laughing together. Our pre-written Trails are suitable for children and adults aged 6+, and work best in small teams of around 4–5 people. Everyone follows the route, cracks the clues, and solves the mystery as they go.

How a Treasure Trail birthday works

Pick a location (choose somewhere local, or make it part of a day out).
Split into teams (4–5 per team works best).
Set the mission (a quick briefing + team names instantly boosts excitement).
Start times (stagger teams by 2–5 minutes to avoid copying).
Finish with prizes (more on that below!).

Children’s birthday parties: what to know

We get asked a lot whether Trails work for children’s parties.
Standard Trails are designed for ages 6+, but at that age they’re best enjoyed as a family group or mixed adult/child team, because the directions and clue-solving usually need grown-up support.
If you’ve got 20 energetic 6-year-olds and one adult, a standard Trail probably isn’t the right fit.
For older children (often 9/10+, depending on the group), small teams can work really well, but they’ll still need adult supervision, especially near roads and crossings.
