The Anywhere Adventure
A treasure hunt you can do anywhere — your street, a park, the high street. No special place needed: just look closely at the world right outside your door. Five stops, about half an hour.
Start here
Wherever you are right now. Step outside together — your own street, a local park, or the high street all work perfectly.

Every street has a story if you know how to look. Ready to explore the one right outside your door?
Preview mode — no personal link detected, so nothing on this page is recorded.
Look all around you. Find the oldest or grandest building you can see from where you're standing. Walk towards it together and stop somewhere safe in front of it.
Brilliant exploring. Every old building has watched this place change for years and years.
Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.
Type one thing you spotted right here
Look up at the building you found. How many windows can you count across the front of it? Count them out loud together with the buttons below.
Great counting. Builders long ago decided exactly where every one of those windows would go.
Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.
Here's a riddle for the road: 'I have a face and two hands, but no arms at all, and I tell you when it's time for tea. What am I?'
Type your answer
A clock — exactly right. See if you can spot a real one before your next stop.
Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.
Stop still and close your eyes for ten seconds. What can you hear around you? Find three different sounds and tell each other what they are.
That's the sound of your own little corner of the world, going about its day.
Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.
Type one thing you spotted right here
Last stop. Find the most interesting thing you've spotted on your adventure — a door, a statue, a funny sign, a view — and take one photo together beside it to remember today.
What a find. That photo is yours to keep forever.
Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.
Hunt complete
Adventure complete, explorers. You found the oldest building, counted its windows, cracked the riddle, listened to your street, and brought home a keepsake. You can do this anywhere, any day — the world is full of small mysteries when you look closely.
