A trail of clues awaits in

Paignton

The sleepy town of Paignton is in an uproar-the historic Oldway Mansion has been broken into! Valuable artefacts, including an intricate tapestry of a secret island off the Devon coast, have been stolen. Rumours are flying that the notorious local thief, Rob Banks, is behind the crime. But he claims he's been framed. Luckily, the Exploration Society has a replica of the map and a list of clues to help unravel the mystery.

This Treasure Hunt is Oh Sew Serious

Put your detective skills to the test with this immersive and family-friendly self-guided Treasure Hunt through the charming seaside town of Paignton. As you explore the Esplanade, harbour, parks, gardens, and seafront, you'll uncover sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.

Can YOU weave through uncharted terrain, unpick the clues, and pinpoint the hidden stash before the sneaky thief beats you to it? The clock is ticking, Explorer. We're counting on you!
