What is an X Hunt?

X-Hunts are self-guided, outdoor puzzle adventures through the real streets and hidden corners of the UK.

Instead of simply following a route, you’ll have a map and a series of clues. Each question requires observation, logic, or a little creative thinking as you explore the town, city or area.

No tour guides. No apps. No time pressure.

Just clever clues, fascinating streets, and the thrill of discovery.

How does it work?

Your adventure can start the moment your pack arrives.

1. Order your X Hunt direct from our shop.
   We’ll send your beautiful, printed booklet right to your letterbox, free postage.

2. Gather your team.
   Bring friends, family, or even competitive colleagues.

3. Head to anywhere on the map in the centre of your booklet.
   No booking, no guides — just pure freedom.

4. Solve the clues.
   Find the locations, crack the clues, and see the area in a whole new way.

There’s no time limit — explore at your own pace. If you like solving clues and discovering the unexpected, X Hunts are for you.

Where can I do an X Hunt?

X Hunts can be ordered for hotspots across the UK. Designed and written by us they take some time and we’re aiming for quality rather than quantity!

We’re constantly adding more so keep checking back to our shop. If you have any suggestions or ideas for locations then please let us know!

How many people can do an X Hunt?

One booklet works well for 2–4 people solving together. If you have a bigger group or want to split into teams just add some more packs to your order, postage is always free!

Who are X Hunts aimed at?

X Hunts are aimed at adults but that doesn’t mean children can’t join in, we’d just recommend there’s at least one adult in the group. Children can be particularly good at spotting things, then the adults can solve the riddle or work out the code!

Perfect for:

• Curious adults who enjoy puzzles and exploring

• Couples looking for a fun London date idea

• Friends planning a day out in central London

• Families with older children

• Escape room fans and puzzle lovers

Do I need to book?

No you don’t need to book as all hunts are self guided using the provided map to complete whenever you like, in as many stages as you like!

In addition to that, you can do them in any order so you don’t have to walk to the other side of town to start. If you’re the competitive sort, multiple copies can be used and then teams set off in different directions.

Do we need a phone or app?

No. Everything you need is in the printed clue hunt booklet.

What time should I do the hunt?

You can do hunts at any time, but given that some places close at dusk, we’d recommend having enough daylight to complete the hunt. Plus the earlier you finish, the more time in the pub!

Is my hunt still in date?

Our hunts don’t have an expiry date and we design them with as much longevity as possible in mind, but we recommend completing them as close as possible to purchase to mitigate this.

Why haven’t I received my order?

We post all orders by Royal Mail first class either on the day of order or next working day (depending on time of order). They usually arrive within two working days, but this can be delayed at busy times. Get in touch if you’d like any information about your specific order.

What happens if I can’t answer a clue or we get stuck?

If you can’t answer a clue for whatever reason don’t stress! The final quote is in plain English so if you’re missing a couple of letters you should be able to fill in the blanks. If you’re a completer-finisher like me and still want to know the answer, get in touch with us.

Are the routes dog friendly?

As everything is outdoors, generally yes, but it’s subjective depending on the dog who’ll you know best. We also can’t answer for any specific pit stops like pubs or cafes you may want to visit so always best to do your own research before you set off.
