Black Cat Treasure Hunts Pricing Guide & FAQs: Cost, Bookings & Custom Events

Planning a group day out, a corporate away-day, a hen do, or a weekend family exploration can sometimes feel like solving a puzzle before the game has even started. Questions pop up left, right, and centre: How much does it cost? Is it worth it for our group size? Can we customise the clues?

To make booking your next adventure with Black Cat Treasure Hunts as smooth and stress-free as possible, I have put together the ultimate Q&A blog. Let’s dive straight into the questions I get asked the most, demystifying the pricing structure and showing you why a treasure hunt is the best way to experience Brighton, Sussex, and London.

Q1: Let’s talk numbers—how much does a Black Cat Treasure Hunt actually cost?

A: I pride myself on keeping the pricing transparent, flexible, and exceptionally good value. Because I cater to different types of adventurers—from families downloading a self-guided route to corporate teams wanting a fully hosted experience—my pricing scales to suit your needs:

• Self-Guided Sussex & Town Trails: If you are looking for a fun local walk or a casual tourist activity, ready-to-go routes (covering places like Brighton, Lewes, Hastings, Chichester, Rye and more) start at very pocket-friendly prices—often ranging from just £1 to £6 per route download. It is a fantastic, low-cost way to turn a normal afternoon walk into an exciting challenge.

• Personalised Hen Party Treasure Hunts: For groups celebrating a bride-to-be in Brighton, Sussex, or London, my tailored hen party hunts start at £13 per person (with a minimum booking value of £105). This includes custom trivia about the bride, hilarious photo challenges, and a completely bespoke route designed to give her an unforgettable send-off.

• Corporate & Team Building Packages: For corporate away-days and large groups, I offer incredible flexibility. Self-organised group packages start around £120 per group, while fully Black Cat-organised team building experiences start from £200 per group.

I hate hidden fees as much as you do, so what you see is what you get—straightforward, honest pricing for memories that last a lifetime. Be aware that corporate prices are around £15pp but with discounts offered for larger groups. I have added discounts for NHS organisations as well.

Q2: Why should we pay for a treasure hunt instead of just wandering around on our own?

A: It is a fair question! You can technically walk down any street for free. But here is what happens when you introduce a Black Cat Treasure Hunt:

1. You actually see things you usually miss: Even locals who have lived in Brighton or Lewes for years tell us they noticed architectural details, historical plaques, and hidden alleyways they had walked past a hundred times without seeing.

2. Built-in team bonding and laughter: Walking in a line can be quiet. Hunting for clues together triggers friendly competition, sparks conversation, and gets everyone laughing—whether you are working out a cryptic riddle or posing for a ridiculous team photo.

3. Zero prep stress for the organiser: If you are the Best Man, the Maid of Honour, or the Office Social Secretary, planning an event is exhausting. For a very small investment, Black Cat does all the heavy lifting, crafting the narrative, designing the clues, and setting up the challenges so you can actually enjoy the day alongside everyone else.

Q3: What is included in the price for corporate and hen party bookings?

A: When you book a personalised or group event with me, you aren’t just buying a generic list of questions. You are paying for a meticulously crafted experience. Depending on your package, your fee covers:

• Custom Content: For hen parties and corporate bookings, we weave in personalised facts, inside jokes, and tailored trivia about your team or the guest of honour.

• Flexible Add-Ons: You can tailor the level of support you want. Want to keep it completely DIY? Go for our self-organised options. Want us to take the pressure off completely? You can add Remote Marking & Scoring Services (£40) where we review answers and announce final standings, or On-the-Day Event Hosting (£80) where a Black Cat expert runs the show from start to finish!

Q4: Are there minimum or maximum group sizes?

A: Flexibility is my middle name!

• For Hen Parties and Special Celebrations, I typically cater to groups ranging from 10 to 40 people, though smaller or larger groups can easily be accommodated with a quick chat.

• For Team Building and Corporate Away-Days, I routinely handle groups anywhere from 6 up to 50+ adults (I’ve even run events for 150+ corporate colleagues smoothly!).

• For solo explorers, couples, or families, my instant-download routes require no minimum group size at all—just grab your phone or print out the clues and head out whenever you are ready.

Q5: How far in advance do I need to book?

A: The earlier, the better—especially if you are eyeing up a popular weekend in the summer, peak hen-do season (spring/summer), or a busy Christmas corporate party period.

However, I know that life happens and spontaneous plans are sometimes the best ones. If you are working with a tighter timeline, drop me an email or give me a ring. I will always do my absolute best to pull together a fantastic route for you on short notice if my schedule allows!
