Firstly thanks for visiting our blog, we are an online craft shop, however this summer, we are using our website blog as part of a treasure hunt. We are doing this for our grandchildren whilst on holiday with them , but have decided all visitors to the campsite can use it, We have permission from the campsite.
As well as clues we have used the what three words app as locations, the
what three words app is free, and can be found in your mobile phone app store , or here https://what3words.com/about.
Percy the Pirate Treasure Hunt Guidelines
You will need a map of the campground which was issued on arrival at the reception.
Prior to starting the hunt, please place on your own map the letter X where you want the children or adults to find the treasure, then place your treasure here ( please keep it a secret).
The final clue on the hunt which we have provide will tell the treasure hunters to go and find the treasure at "X marks the spot", show the treasure hunters the map and ask them to find the X then navigate to that location. In the example below you can see we have placed our treasure in the play area, however you can place your treasure anywhere you wish, just mark it on the map with an X
For our own Treasure Hunt We have bought treasure chests (see below) from the Works and filled them with trinkets which we got at a carboot, (I think some where donated by Mr T) and some Gold coins (pounds) which are to be used at the Arcade at Lyme Regis, however its your treasure hunt so its up to you.
