A trail of clues awaits in

Hastings

Join us on an exciting adventure through the charming town of Hastings as you search for the legendary golden pawn. Local fisherman, Ivor Bignet, made an incredible discovery in his latest catch - a golden pawn, not a prawn! According to legend, this pawn is part of a golden chess set awarded to the victor of the Hastings International Chess Congress. But the set vanished after local champion, Chick Maite, controversially lost the final and disappeared with his memoirs. Will YOU be the one to finally solve the mystery and find the golden pawn?

Treasure Hunt Through Hastings

Get ready for an exciting self-guided treasure hunt that will take you on a journey through the quaint streets and scenic views of Hastings. Starting at the Fishermen's Museum, you'll follow clues through picturesque streets, past old pubs and churches, and up onto West Cliff. But don't let the stunning views distract you - there's treasure to be found!

This quest may seem a little fishy…or is it? With hidden clues and intriguing riddles, only the most daring explorers will be able to uncover the truth and track down the golden pawn. Will YOU be up to the challenge?

Get on board and master this grand mystery in Hastings!
