They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

We've got a mission for you in

Dartford

Top agents needed to save the town from rhythmic rampage.

A toe-tapping emergency is breaking out in Dartford, where a wonderfully weird plot threatens to send the whole town into a flapping, foot-shuffling frenzy! A pair of faded rockers have cooked up a sneaky device designed to blast an invisible pulse through the air, lodge an earworm tune in everyone's heads and wipe out all rhythm-related self-control! The result? Innocent locals and visitors bursting into the Funky Chicken at the drop of a beat! Vital codes have been hidden across town and time is running short. Your mission is to track down the scattered clues, recover the missing codes and stop Dartford from descending into a full-scale dance emergency.

Spy Mission Through Dartford

Prepare for a music-fuelled spy adventure through the heart of Dartford as you hunt for the missing intel. Starting by the railway station, you'll follow the route through busy streets, explore hidden corners and keep your eyes peeled for dead drops packed with vital information. But this mission won't be all jazz hands and easy answers! Along the way, you'll need sharp eyes, quick thinking and first-rate agent skills to stay one step ahead. Every clue solved brings you closer to shutting down the device and restoring order before the whole town starts strutting in sync.

Dartford is depending on you, agents - can you crack the codes before the dancing takes over?

VITAL INTEL:

Central Park and St Edmund’s Pleasance are locked at dusk, so be sure to leave enough time to complete your mission in daylight.

Navigating The Route

This is a circular spy mission through Dartford’s town centre, historic streets and Central Park, with agents following pavements, footpaths and some off-road sections as they track down the Four-Note Override code.

The mission includes some steep hills and off-road terrain, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs, but lighter pushchairs should be manageable with care.

Important: You will be travelling through busy town centre areas, crossing multiple roads and navigating parkland paths, so agents should use crossings where available, stay alert to traffic and keep younger operatives under close supervision at all times.

Getting There

By car: There are several parking options close to the start, including Westgate Car Park, Kent Road (DA1 2AU) and Orchards Shopping Centre (DA1 1DN).

By public transport: Your mission begins at Dartford Train Station, 5 Station Approach (DA1 1BP), which is well served by rail services.

Need the Loo?

Even elite agents need a quick comfort break! Toilets can be found at the train station (booking hall, during staffed hours), in shopping centres along the route and in Central Park near Clues 16-17.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks

Four-legged agents are welcome on this mission 🐾. With a mix of town streets and parkland to explore, it is a suitable outing for canine companions - just keep leads handy near roads and in busier areas.

Food & Drink Stops

Agents, keep your energy levels topped up! You will be sneaking through the town centre during the early part of your mission, so take advantage of cafés, shops and food stops as you pass them.

There are fewer options later on, so it is a good idea to grab supplies early or bring snacks to keep you going through the park section.

Want to Make a Day of It?

Central Park and Riverside Wandering

Central Park offers a lovely green escape with paths, open space and the River Darent running through it - perfect for a post-mission wind-down once the code is cracked.

Historic Streets and Hidden Stories

From Roman finds to railway tales and rock-and-roll history, Dartford is packed with surprising stories that add extra intrigue to your mission.

Optional Detour - Brooklands Lake

If you have time, take the optional wander to Brooklands Lake for a peaceful loop away from the action - a great spot to decompress after saving the town from rhythmic chaos.

Mini Secret Agent Club

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
