They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

Great detectives needed!

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

St Annes-on-the-Sea

St Annes-on-the-Sea is the perfect place for a day out with family and friends. This charming town offers something for everyone, from stunning gardens to a beautiful promenade. But when the town's newest ice cream vendor, Mr. Sprinkles, is found in a sticky situation, it's up to YOU to solve the mystery and bring the culprit to justice!

Dial 99 for Ice Cream!

Mr. Sprinkles' success was causing quite a stir in St Annes, but when he is found flaked out between his cones, covered in raspberry syrup, it's clear that something has gone awry. Was this an unfortunate accident, a crime of passion, or the actions of a jealous rival? The evidence is scattered throughout the town like sprinkles on ice cream - it's up to YOU to piece it together and crack the case!

The Trail starts at the famous Pier and takes you on a journey through the scenic Ashton Gardens and the attractive centre of town. As you explore, keep an eye out for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. The route finishes along the promenade's gardens, close to the start point.

Chief of Police Evan Acklew has had brain freeze and let the trail go cold, his investigation taking as long as a month of sundaes with the leads melting away. It's up to YOU to achieve a big scoop, get the case licked, and put the villain where they belong - in the cooler!
