Like a treasure hunt for words, use map reading skills, solve clues and riddles, and hunt for hidden words to complete the crossword puzzles.
If you love scavenger hunts and looking for buried treasure, if you like mystery solving and outdoor adventures, these word hunt quests are just what you need. Test your navigation skills and see if “X marks the spot” as you use maps and clues to complete fifteen crossword puzzles, where you search and find the words across beautiful locations of Britain.
Like Geocaching but without the electronic devices, Word Hunt Adventures takes you back to the time of ‘I spy’ and pirate adventures, where discovery and exploration come hand in hand with mystery solving in real life expeditions and treasure hunts. Compacted into one travel-friendly book, Word Hunt Adventures can be your companion throughout the year as you discover new places to visit and complete all fifteen puzzles and locations.
An additional adventure can also be had on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where three of the Word Hunts can be conquered whilst you travel aboard the iconic stream train, between Pickering, Goathland and Whitby. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will also know that Goathland was the filming location for the train station of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
If you love a bit of history, you will also find all that you need with Word Hunt Adventures. The hunts take you to ruined castles, through old churchyards, to majestic cathedrals, down historic streets, past playgrounds and along riversides. All you need is your pencil and a picnic!
