We've got a mission for you in

Gravesend

Attention all agents!

A serious situation is bubbling up in Gravesend, where a daft but dangerous plot threatens to throw the waterfront into total chaos. A shadowy figure has been tampering with the tide, sending water levels wildly out of control - swamping the riverside one moment, then leaving boats and ferries stuck fast the next. Vital shutdown codes have been lost across town, and a shady crew is already on the move to recover them first. Your mission is to track down the hidden clues, piece together the missing codewords and stop the chaos before Gravesend is left in a right old soggy mess!

Spy Mission Through Gravesend

Prepare for an action-packed spy adventure through the historic heart of Gravesend as you hunt for the missing intel. Starting in the town centre, you'll head through bustling streets, search near the waterfront and explore tucked-away corners as you follow the trail of clues. But this mission won't be plain sailing - the twisted mastermind behind the scheme has done their best to keep the codes out of reach.

Along the way, you'll need sharp eyes, clever thinking and excellent agent instincts to stay one step ahead of the enemy. Every clue solved brings you closer to stopping the plan and restoring order - before the tide causes even more trouble!

Gravesend is counting on you, agents - can you crack the codes in time?

More Information:

Navigating The Route

This is a circular spy mission through Gravesend’s town centre, historic streets, riverside promenade and parkland, with agents following pavements and well-laid paths as they race to recover the scattered codewords.

The route is fairly level and well paved throughout, making it suitable for both wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Important: Parts of the mission take place along the riverside, where paths run close to open water, and you will also be navigating busy roads and town centre crossings, so agents should use pedestrian crossings where available, stay alert at all times and keep younger operatives under close supervision.

Also note that riverside areas may flood in very wet conditions, so it is wise to check the weather and wear suitable footwear before setting off.

Getting There

By car: Thamesgate Shopping Centre Car Park (DA11 0AU) is the nearest parking to your starting point.

By public transport: Your mission begins at Gravesend Train Station, Clive Road (DA11 0HP), which is well served by rail services. If arriving by train, exit via Platform 2 to reach the start point quickly.

Need the Loo?

Even elite agents need a quick comfort break! Toilets can be found at the train station at the start, on the promenade near Clues 07-08 and at Borough Market near Clues 19-20.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks

Four-legged agents are welcome on this mission 🐾. With a mix of town streets and riverside paths, it is a great outing for canine companions - just keep leads handy near roads and especially along the water.

Food & Drink Stops

Agents, refuelling opportunities are well covered! You will be moving through the town centre at the start and finish of your mission, where there are plenty of cafés, shops and snack stops to keep your energy levels up.

It is a good idea to grab supplies early or plan a stop here before heading out along the riverside section.

Want to Make a Day of It?

Riverside Promenade and Thames Views

The Thames is at the heart of this mission, with wide promenades and ever-changing river views providing the perfect backdrop for your undercover work.

Forts, Gardens and Defensive History

New Tavern Fort and the surrounding green spaces add a layer of military history to your mission, complete with viewpoints and hidden corners to explore.

Piers, Statues and Maritime Stories

From historic piers to riverside landmarks, Gravesend’s waterfront is packed with stories of trade, travel and life along the Thames - perfect for extending your mission once the code is cracked.

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.
