A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Fowey
The iconic Cornish pasty is under threat! A group of extremists, known as the Anti-Pasty Extremists (APEX), have declared war on the beloved pastry, planning to wipe it out completely. Their leader, a pasty-detesting, shadowy individual, is determined to rid the county of this delicious treat. And they're starting with the Giant Pasty Ceremony at the annual Fowey Regatta. It's up to YOU to stop them!
Treasure Hunt Through Fowey
Join the fight to save the Cornish pasty by embarking on this exciting self-guided Treasure Hunt through the charming town of Fowey. Starting at the Parish Church on South Street, your case will take you on a journey through the town's ancient streets, past the unspoiled Fowey Harbour, and into the beautiful Old Grammar School Gardens. Can YOU follow the clues, eliminate suspects, and save the pasties?
Keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. With the pressure on to solve the mystery, can YOU round up the members of APEX and uncover the item they used?
The pasties are counting on YOU… Will you accept the challenge and save them from extinction?
Every clue brings you closer to the truth...
Piece together the evidence, identify the culprit and discover how the case ends.

Mini Detective Club
Mini Detective Club
We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.
Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from
the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
