Undercover Detectives in Bristol - Can YOU Solve the Art Theft?
Oh no! A gang of art thieves have stolen the priceless painting, 'The Icecream' by Eddie Munch, from the famous, family-owned Tasty Bar Chocolate Company. The thieves have left behind a ransom note demanding a whopping £1,000,000 for its safe return and have warned against police involvement. So, YOU have been called in as undercover detectives to identify the gang leader and how they guard their hideout. The gang have scattered a series of clues around the Old City, teasing the police. Can YOU get out there and solve them before it's too late? Be careful though - if you're spotted by the gang, the painting will be destroyed!

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Bristol, there are a few things you need to know...
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at the NCP Rupert Street Car Park (BS1 2PY), just a few minutes walk away. Or why not try Bristol’s fantastic Park and Ride service?
There are some fantastic events in Bristol’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your investigation.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.
Looking for more things to do in Bristol? Make a day of it and visit Bristol Aquarium to meet some fishy friends or Bristol Museum and Art Gallery to learn more twisting tales about the city. You could even challenge yourself to one of our other Bristol Trails!
