Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of designing treasure hunts for teams, hen parties, couples, families, and groups looking for something a little different in Brighton. Every hunt is handcrafted, every route is tested, and every clue is designed to spark a moment — a laugh, a discovery, a bit of friendly competition, or a shared “aha!” moment.
Rather than tell you why Black Cat Treasure Hunts work so well, I thought I’d let the people who’ve taken part share their experiences. Their words reveal exactly how a treasure hunt can transform a team day, elevate a celebration, or create a unique gift that people remember for years.
Brighton Team Building Activities With a Difference.
Companies often tell me they want a team building activity in Brighton that isn’t forced, awkward, or predictable. Treasure hunts tick all the boxes: they get people moving, talking, solving, and laughing — without ever feeling like a corporate exercise.
Here’s what one team of 50 adults had to say:
“Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!...cannot recommend Black Cat Treasure Hunts enough. We did this as a team building challenge at work for 50 adults. From the original enquiry, to the final marking and administration of the day Tim was a pleasure to work with and made the whole thing so easy. He understood our requirements, tailored the hunt to our needs and delivered one of the best team building activities I have ever taken part of. This is a very unique and special activity and I highly recommend it to all – we had so much fun on the day, several people want to book Black Cats again in the future for their birthdays, hen do's and anniversary parties!!! Thanks Tim for such a wonderful day. Every single person in our group loved it!”
When a team of 50 says every single person loved it, that’s the kind of social proof no sales pitch can beat.
Hen Parties: Personalised, Playful, and Packed With Brighton Charm
Hen groups often want something fun, inclusive, and memorable — a Brighton hen party treasure hunt is perfect for that.They break the ice instantly, create shared jokes, and give the bride a celebration that feels unique to her.
This is what one hen group shared after their Brighton adventure:
“If you want a fun and unique treasure hunt experience, you should definitely choose Black Cat!! We had a fantastic Hen treasure hunt in Brighton for my sister and everyone loved it. It was a great way of getting everyone involved and seeing parts of the city that we may have otherwise missed. The detail was amazing, it was really clear to follow and I loved all the quirky and personalised comments. So much fun! Thank you Tim for your attention to detail, you were always on hand whenever I had a question and made the process so straight forward from start to finish!”
Hen parties love the personalised touches — the inside jokes, the references to the bride, the playful clues — and Brighton provides the perfect backdrop for photos, surprises, and laughter.
Birthdays: A Memorable Way to Celebrate With Friends and Family
Birthday groups often want something lively, inclusive, and full of shared moments — a birthday treasure hunt in Brighton is ideal for that. Birthday Treasure hunts are perfect for that mix of fun, challenge, and celebration.
Here’s what one birthday organiser had to say:
“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you, the treasure hunt went down a storm and my sister absolutely loved it! We all did. We had such a great time and the hunt was so well put together I was pretty blown away to be honest! We have some great pics and videos of the challenges and we had a right laugh working out the winning team.”
Birthdays are all about joy and connection, and a treasure hunt gives groups a shared adventure they can relive through photos, videos, and stories long after the candles are blown out.
Bespoke Treasure Hunts: Personalised Adventures for any Occasion.
Some of the most meaningful hunts I create are bespoke treasure hunts — anniversaries, surprises, gifts, or special requests that need a personal touch. These are the hunts where creativity meets sentiment, and where Brighton becomes the setting for a story that belongs entirely to the people taking part.
Here’s what one customer shared after commissioning a bespoke anniversary hunt:
“Black Cat Treasure Hunts are fantastic. Tim created a bespoke treasure hunt for my brother and sister-in-law for their wedding anniversary. It was just the two of them and they had the most fantastic time. Tim created the perfect treasure hunt for them, and having never been to Brighton myself, I was so impressed by Tim's knowledge of the area. Tim was wonderful to work with, he really tailors the treasure hunts to his clients needs and I very much valued and appreciated how quick he was to respond to any questions I had. My brother and sister-in-law had a marvellous time and I would highly recommend Tim and Black Cat Treasure Hunts for a unique, original gift idea. Tim creates Treasure Hunts that work well for any group and any occasion. It exceeded my expectations – Thank you so much!”
And another lovely comment that captures the spirit of these personalised adventures:
“One of my friends passed on your details, as apparently a trip to Brighton is not complete without one of your treasure hunts!”
These bespoke hunts are often the most rewarding to create — they’re thoughtful, surprising, and tailored to the people who matter most.
What Makes Black Cat Treasure Hunts So Popular
Across teams, hens, birthdays, couples, families, and bespoke events, a few themes come up again and again:
-
Personalisation — no two hunts are the same
-
Attention to detail — from clue design to route flow
-
Clear organisation — making the day easy for organisers
-
Brighton expertise — weaving the city’s quirks into every clue
-
Inclusive fun — something everyone can take part in
These testimonials aren’t one-offs — they’re a pattern. And they’re the reason so many groups return for birthdays, anniversaries, and new team events.
You can read even more treasure hunt reviews from teams, hens, families, and couples on my testimonials page.
