How It Works

Urban Adventure Questions

: Yes - our games make a fantastic pub crawl/stag do/hen do. All of our scavenger hunts feature several great York bar and pub stops! What's more, breaks can be taken from the game at any time - whenever you see a pub you like the look of, head in and enjoy for as long as you want! The hunt will be waiting for you whenever you are ready to continue.
: Yes, our hunts are suitable for all ages and feature puzzles of various types and difficulties so that everyone can get involved. Cafe alternatives are available as rest-stops and there are hints for every clue, making our games great fun for all the family!
: Explore York
Our main York Exploration Games aim to showcase York's districts to you; the places you know about and the places you don't, with a fine list of fantastic York pubs & cafes along the way.
Let your Exploration Games guide you, as you weave through secret passageways and hunt for hidden gems across the city of York!
: Explore York and its hidden gems. Solve clues of a puzzle-filled adventure, intertwined into the city itself. Race between strange and fascinating locations, untangling enigmatic directions sent directly to your mobile phone.
Solve each clue to receive your next riddle, revealing the pathway ahead. Along the way discover brilliant buildings, bizarre sculptures, great pubs and markets and that special something unique to each York district.
Leave it to Exploration Games York to bring the city to life!
: The Exploration Game activity will begin in a well known York location. From there you'll begin before the latest start time (if applicable, some hunt start times can be 24/7) just reply to your welcome message with 'start'.
The York Exploration Games will then provide the first clue, that can be broken down into two components. Firstly, you'll receive a set of obscured directions that you'll solve and follow the references to the next location. Secondly, there will be a riddle to work out - you'll find the answer lurking in York's rich history all around you.
