Treasure Trails is the UK's leading treasure hunt company and was founded in Cornwall in 2005 with the aim of getting people out and about exploring their local area in a fun, healthy, and educational way. Steve Ridd realised that we are all surrounded by the most stunning scenery and architecture, but we often fail to notice it when it’s right in front of our faces. He created Treasure Trails to really bring the landscape and its stories alive for local people and tourists who enjoy spending time together in the fresh air, whilst solving a fun mystery.
Every year thousands of families, groups of friends and businesses enjoy Treasure Trails in all corners of the country. We now have a growing family of Licensees who run Treasure Trails businesses all over England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Click on the 'Our Licensees' tab for more information about the people who run Treasure Trails in your area.
We are still looking for the last few talented and motivated individuals to join our treasure hunt company and run their own Treasure Trails business. If you think you have what it takes to become a professional treasure hunt writer, see the Licensing page for more details.
