Description
The Eton Treasure Trail is a self-guided treasure hunt adventure set around the historic town of Eton. It offers a fun and interactive way to explore Eton College, the High Street and riverside sights with family and friends. This walking Trail combines sightseeing with clue-solving for an exciting day out.
The story follows Old Etonian Bert E Worcester, who lost his very fat wallet after celebrating a rowing victory at Dorney Lake. One of his ‘mates’ hid it as a prank, leaving Bert unable to pay his taxi fare and even landing him in the police station. As you follow the 2.3-mile circular route from Romney Lock car park, you’ll solve sneaky clues on buildings, permanent features and monuments to help find the hidden wallet and complete the mission.
The Treasure Trail costs £9.99 per Trail, which covers the whole group playing together. The same Trail can also be used for birthday parties, working best in small teams of around 4–5 people, with adult support recommended for younger children.
The Eton Treasure Trail is ideal for families, friends and visitors wanting to discover more about Eton in a unique way. It blends history, teamwork and problem-solving while taking in views of the Thames and the spectacular sights of Eton College. With its engaging storyline and flexible pace, it turns a simple walk into a memorable treasure hunt experience.

- The wallet, complete with bank cards, driver's license, passport, flat keys, car keys and his mobile phone (yes, it was a very fat wallet!), was picked up by one of his so-called 'mates', who decided to hide it as a prank!
- Bert incurred the anger of the taxi driver for not being able to pay the fare and then got stuck trying to climb through a window into his flat. Spotted by a passing patrol car and unable to produce any ID or contact phone numbers, Bert was taken to the police station!
