A trail of clues awaits in

Swansea

It's a little-known fact that the man in the moon, Dr Justyn Thyme, is a cheese-loving Welsh time traveller from the year 2050. When the British first landed on the moon, he gave them a map and clues to the whereabouts of his first time machine, the Tardy Space Scuttle (or Tardyss for short). But now, he's gone missing and needs your help to find his time machine before the enemy operatives from LORDS (Large Organisation of Really Dangerous Spies) can get to it.

Treasure Hunt Through Swansea's Maritime Quarter

Are you ready for an exciting self-guided Treasure Hunt through Swansea's newly-developed Maritime Quarter? Follow the Trail route and solve the sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to discover the location of the buried treasure.

Your adventure starts at the Dylan Thomas Centre and takes you past the iconic Waterfront Museum and Tram Shed. As you journey over locks and bridges, you'll see historic ships that you can visit before returning to your starting point.

But watch out-the enemy operatives from LORDS will be hot on your trail, trying to stop you from finding the Tardyss before they do. So don't waste any time-let's get cracking and find that time machine!
