A trail of clues awaits in
Guisborough
Eccentric archaeologist Doug Uppahole claims to have discovered a rare Roman mosaic in his back garden. But instead of leaving it there, he dug it all up, transported it to a desert island, and buried it again to keep it safe from rival relic hunters. Some say it's just a tall tale, but there's only one way to find out-by following the clues he's scattered around Guisborough and uncovering the truth.

Join the Intrepid Explorer Society on a thrilling Treasure Hunt through the charming market town of Guisborough.

Your adventure begins at the market cross and takes you through the heart of the town, past the Guisborough Museum, and towards the St Nicholas Parish Church and Guisborough Priory. But beware-Doug Uppahole is a master of deception, and only the most daring explorers will be able to piece together the final clue and find the buried mosaic.
