About this activity

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Bath on foot, with phone-based riddles leading from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Start whenever suits you, no booking slot required — go at your own pace with no time limit

• Works for families, friend groups, and couples; photo challenges at the Royal Crescent tend to generate some memorable group shots

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours.
