Itinerary
An outdoor fantasy treasure hunt for the curious!
Our magical class will walk you through the Old Town streets identifying and learning all about the fantastic creatures that inhabit them. You will need a team of 2-5 wizards, internet access on your phone, your eyes and legs! We will provide the kit. The game takes around 1.5 hours (more or less). It covers a good portion of the historic Old Town and lots of folklore.
You can pick up your treasure hunt pack and code anytime during opening hours at Hot Toddy on 15-19 Jeffrey street (10am-7pm). Show your booking to collect it. Start the treasure hunt whenever you please. We recommend starting near the Royal Mile and we highly advise minding the daylight hours as the game won't work in the dark. You will then explore the city following the clues that will take you from one spot to the next, unravelling Edinburgh's quirks.
It finishes in a special secret location which is a 10 minute walk from the Royal Mile. If you complete the hunt you can collect your completion souvenir prize by showing a screenshot of your result at Hot Toddy on 15-19 Jeffrey street or at The Grassmarket Project on 86 Candlemaker row (10am-4pm).

We were in 2 groups but actually we just went round together and worked as a big team. We were 3 adults, 3 teens, and 2 ten-year-olds. Everyone got something out of it and enjoyed solving the clues. Nice way to show people who didn’t know Edinburgh a little of the Old Town. It took us just under 2 hours to complete which was about right before tiredness set in for the littler ones.

This was a fantastic hunt! Suitable for our family (2 adults, 14 and 11 year olds) Very well organised, great to discover Edinburgh and very attentive host/helper. Would highly recommend.

We waited for more than half an hour and couldn't find anyone of the crew. They also didn't pick up the phone or answer the voicemail.

This is our third time doing one of Sabi’s treasure hunts and we absolutely loved it like we have every other one! It is a brilliant day out and a fun and different way to explore the city. It’s perfect for small groups, big groups and all ages- perfect for couples, families, everyone really! Her clues and puzzles are very clever and a perfect level of difficulty. Sabi is always on hand to help if needed via WhatsApp and you can see the amount of time and effort that has gone into making these treasure hunts. These are a must when in Edinburgh and I am already looking forward to the next one!

Absolutely brilliant. This is the third one of Sabi’s scavenger hunts that we have done. Her creativity is second to none. So clever the way she thinks everything out. Looking forward to her Christmas one. Highly recommend them to everyone looking for a fun thing to do outdoors with family. Great way to see Edinburgh and notice things you haven’t before.

Had such a blast running around Edinburgh searching for all the fantastic beasts! This tour was equally educational as it was fun. Jule was an incredibly helpful game leader and there to give us clues when needed.
Highly recommend this treasure hunt for groups of all ages! (We were just a couple of 20something pals, other groups at our time slot were families)

Very funny discover of the town, some hidden streets and part of monuments that you're not see without the tour. When you have some difficulties, the What's app help is immediate. This is a very good attraction.

My partner discovered this unique experience which we took my parents on. As we worked with a secret professor to investigate the magical and fantastic creatures of Edinburgh. A unique take on the many tours, you get to discover some hidden treasures as you look up. With a unique twist you can’t go far wrong and I’m sure this would be loved by all ages.
