Sight Seeker

You're a Sight Seeker! You love to discover what makes up a place - whether it's the historical buildings, past residents, art scenes or natural elements - and you try to soak everything up when you explore. Your love of learning takes you to a variety of attractions during your days out, and you relish stumbling upon hidden gems and quirky features as you go. Your keen observation means you often notice and remember more than the rest of your friends, making you the perfect addition to any quiz team! You're always up for a new activity or challenge, but you also appreciate quiet times to just relax in your surroundings, read a good book or work through some puzzles.

Your challenge is to: Keep your eyes peeled! We have 15 challenges plus bonus challenges for you to choose from. Will you complete 5, 10 or all 15 along with all three bonus challenges?

1. Tower challenge: Head to the top floor of the tallest publically accessible building in your area and enjoy the view of the buildings below.

2. Hidden Gem challenge: Explore 'off the beaten track' in a historical town or city, keeping your eyes peeled for interesting features and intriguing plaques as you go.

3. Museum challenge: Make a list of five museums within easy travelling distance that you’ve never been to before. Have a vote and plan a visit to the winner.

7. Colour challenge: Visit somewhere new and play rainbow bingo as you explore! Tally up how many times each colour appears in your surroundings - street art, shop fronts, nature etc. Which one is used the most?

Adventure changes the way you see the world for the better - something we all need after the last few years! So, tap into your inner sightseer, step out of the front door with your eyes wide open and make this your year of adventure!

Picking challenges can give you something to aim for, and sprinkling them throughout the year gives you something to look forward to, but pledging them makes you much more likely to succeed! Take a look at the challenges and decide how many you want to pledge to do: 5, 10 or 15.

Make your pledge below to confirm your commitment! We'll then email you a PDF of your challenges to print out and stick on the fridge or other prime spot in your home...
