The Missing Treasure of Devizes - Will YOU Find It First?

According to the recently knighted historian, Sir Neil Downe, the crown treasures stolen from Devizes Castle in the 1600s may have finally been found.
But before he could investigate and claim the hidden hoard, the notorious StinkyWinkyLeaks got a hold of the weathered document and published it for all to see.
Now, the Royal Family's media operation, The Crown News Network (CNN), is offering fame and fortune to anyone who can uncover the long lost treasure's location.
But with amateur treasure seekers and the perilous quest ahead, it's up to YOU - our most intrepid Explorers - to boldly follow the route, crack the sneaky Clues, and pinpoint the stash spot before anyone else beats you to it. Good luck!

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.
