This app-led scavenger hunt takes you from the town centre down to the seafront on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow clues through the Lower Gardens to Bournemouth Pier and the War Memorial — three landmarks that trace the resort from empty heath to Victorian pleasure ground • Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure • Works for families, couples, and friend groups; photo challenges on the pier and in the gardens add a fun competitive edge Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.
