Manchester Treasure Hunts Now Available
A few days ago we added something new to the site. We now have a pair of treasure hunts available. Go and have a look.
Both the treasure hunts are based in Manchester, and offer a series of clues based on interesting stuff lying around in the city. They’re aimed at families, as all our stuff is, and available as downloads in PDF format. We actually wrote them about a year ago, and we were selling them through our other site clooz.co.uk, but we thought it would be nice to have everything in one place. So they’ve been rebranded under the Point Zero Games and added to our site.
It’s pretty amazing what’s around in Manchester. The connections with the rest of the world start to fly thick and fast when you’re looking for them, and the number of hidden meanings and allusions in buildings and sculpture is a joy: here at Point Zero Games, we love hidden messages, as you’ll know if you’re an Army Of Zero fan. But the nice thing about our treasure hunts is that you’re not expected to know this stuff before you start. The puzzles are easy, and they guide you through the stories of Manchester and its history, so rather than needing to come equipped with lots of useless information, you actually pick up the useless fascinating information as you solve the clues.
Incidentally, if anyone out there wants us to create a treasure hunt for their own location, let us know. It’s a great thing to include in any local publication, such as a newspaper or regional children’s magazine.
