Why April Is the Moment Everyone Starts Booking
There’s something about this time of year that gets people planning again. Companies begin thinking about team socials, managers look for ways to reconnect their teams, and groups of friends start plotting summer celebrations.
Treasure hunts tick every box:
-
Fresh air and movement after months indoors
-
Team bonding without the awkward icebreakers
-
A sense of adventure that feels different from the usual pub and pizza social
-
Brighton at its best, full of colour, character, and hidden stories
April is when enquiries suddenly jump — and with six hunts in one long weekend, it’s clear the season has officially begun.
Planning a Summer Social? Now Is the Time
If you’re organising a summer social, team-building day, or company celebration, April is the sweet spot to get your date locked in.
Why?
-
Prime dates go quickly — Black Cat can attend your event to organise it or he can mark it remotely if he is booked in elsewhere
-
Weather improves - Sun is not guaranteed of course, but Black Cat has a good record of `arranging sunshine` on your treasure hunt day!
-
You get the widest choice of bespoke routes, timings, and custom clues. No-one else is this flexible.
-
It gives you time to personalise your hunt with inside jokes, team references, or a competitive twist
Whether you want a relaxed, scenic route or a fast-paced competitive challenge, booking early means you get exactly the experience you want.
What Treasure Hunt Season Means for You
For companies, April to September is the golden window for outdoor socials. A treasure hunt gives your team:
-
A shared experience that feels fun, not forced
-
A chance to explore Brighton in a new way
-
A natural mix of teamwork, creativity, and friendly rivalry
-
A memorable story to take back to the office
And for celebrations — birthdays, hen parties, reunions — it’s a brilliant way to kick off a day out.
Ready to Start Your Own Adventure?
If April is the start of Treasure Hunt Season, then summer is where it truly comes alive. With six hunts happening this weekend alone, the momentum is already building — and I’d love to help your team or group be part of it.
Whether you’re planning ahead or want something sooner, get in touch and let’s create a treasure hunt that fits your group perfectly.
