Ready-made Treasure Hunts for independent groups to run themselves

If you’re going on a city break then you’ll be looking forward to visiting famous landmarks, meeting the locals, absorbing the culture, art and history and sampling the cuisine.

Ready-City-Go® introduces you to what’s worth seeing both on and off the beaten track, saving you time on research and planning beforehand, and helping you savour the highlights and experience when you’re there.

You can choose how long you want to take depending on your group and schedule. Ready-City-Go® treasure hunts typically last half a day if you don't stop en route, but why not give yourself a little longer to enjoy what you see.

Most treasure hunts force you to start at a given point and follow other teams like sheep to the end! For larger groups, this can mean a bottleneck of teams at the same place at the same time - and if you stagger the start to avoid this it prolongs the event with the risk that those who have already finished get bored waiting.

Ready-City-Go® treasure hunts have a unique format that gives you flexibility. You start together and agree when you'll finish. You are free to start and end wherever you want and tackle the clues in any order. This means that you could begin from your hotel for example. The infinite number of ways to tackle the challenge eliminates the need for a staggered start and keeps the suspense as to who has won right up to the last minute.

A treasure hunt is only as good as its clues. Our experienced clue-setters know what works and what doesn’t. We wouldn’t dream of sending you on a contrived one-way-only route where all the clues are solved solely by observation – because that’s dull, uninspiring and insults your intelligence.

The best treasure hunts get everyone involved through clues that require a mix of skills, knowledge and creativity to solve. From the cryptic to the seemingly obvious and from the straightforward to the downright devious, Ready-City-Go® clues appeal to groups of all ages and abilities by combining puzzles, code-breakers, cross-references, anagrams, challenges, riddles, brainteasers, crosswords, photos, word games and number challenges.

Are your collective powers of deduction, observation and lateral thinking up to the test?

It can be very frustrating when information in guide books is out of date. Ready-City-Go® treasure hunts are researched in detail and regularly walked to keep them fresh and current.

We provide all the support materials you need to run a Ready-City-Go® treasure hunt yourself. If you’d prefer to have us run it for you just let us know before you buy.

For a small supplement, we can personalise the materials by adding an event name of your choice, and personal photo or company logo. Just select the 'get personal' option when you buy online.
