The Missing Golden Kipper - A Treasure Hunt in Seahouses!

  • For years, the smokehouses of Seahouses have produced the finest kippers for locals and visitors alike. But it was the annual competition for the Golden Kipper that truly brought the town to life.
  • This much sought-after prize was awarded to the maker of the tastiest kipper. But a few years ago, the trophy mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
  • Rumour has it that the grumpy old trawler boat skipper, Mack Rhell, sick of the smell of kippers, confessed on his deathbed to stealing and burying the Golden Kipper on a nearby island.
  • But with his forgetful nature, he left behind a map with a series of clues hidden under his bed. Now, it's up to YOU, the top adventurers of the Intrepid Explorers Society (IES), to find the missing treasure!

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.

Ready to plan your birthday Trail?

  • Pick a location, choose your Trail, and you’re good to go.
  • If you’d like help choosing a Trail that suits your group size, ages, and timings, get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.

You can start your Trail whenever you like, as they are completely self-guided. Everything you need to complete your Trail is in the booklet, including directions and clues to guide you along the route.
