From the English Middle Ages to urban modernity: there's plenty to discover on a scavenger hunt in Bristol. The city offers you a unique mix of maritime history, time-honoured buildings and youth culture. All of this can be wonderfully combined on a scavenger hunt, as the various sights are close to each other.
Bristol is a city with a long tradition. It already had one of the most important harbours in England in the 12th century. No wonder, as its location on the River Severn, which flows into the Celtic Sea just behind the city, is ideal. As a result, ships docked and disembarked here for centuries. You can still visit the huge facilities today. Harbourside is so diverse that you could probably easily spend a whole day there. The historic museum "M Shed", the scientific museum "We The Curious" and the museum ship "Great Britain" are particular attractions. The latter was launched in 1843 and has an eventful history from passenger ship to troop carrier to coal transporter. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions. If you want to learn more about the history of seafaring after your Bristol scavenger hunt, you are in the right place on board the Great Britain.
Even though the harbour has played a formative role for centuries, the city has more to offer than just ships and docks. As you wander through the city centre on your joint scavenger hunt in Bristol, you will spot at least three buildings from afar. Firstly, the two churches, Bristol Cathedral, built from light-coloured Bath Stone, and the late Gothic St Mary Redcliffe. The other is the Cabot Tower. It is located in Brandon Park not far from the city centre and offers a viewing platform at a height of 32 metres. From there, you have a wonderful panoramic view of your playing field for the scavenger hunt.
Have you got an overview? Then you're ready to start the Bristol scavenger hunt. It's very simple: you gather at the starting point and log into our app. Then you assign the roles: Who will be the photographer, who will be the trivia king and - most importantly - who will take on the role of game master? The game master will receive the GPS navigation on his or her smartphone and will guide you from station to station through Bristol. You will encounter a wide variety of tasks that you can solve together. Now it's time to scan the surroundings with a keen eye, make logical combinations and use your new knowledge. Then you will surely succeed in mastering the scavenger hunt in Bristol with flying colours. Maybe you'll even make it to the top of our leaderboard? You'll receive points in your group account for every task you solve correctly!
As you wander the streets together, you'll experience the city up close. You will soon notice that there is street art to marvel at in many places. In fact, the southern English metropolis is famous for its creative urban art scene. Rumour even has it that the most famous street artist - Banksy - comes here frequently. In any case, there are more works of art by him in the city than anywhere else. Famous works include "The Girl with the Pierced Eardrum" in Albion Docks and "Well Hung Lover" in Frogmore Street.
Maybe you'll even discover new works? Street art is known for the fact that it can produce new graffiti every day. In any case, it's fun to wander the streets of Bristol on a scavenger hunt with your eyes wide open. Maybe you fancy a little extra challenge: which of you will discover the most street art?
After so many impressions on your scavenger hunt in Bristol, you'll probably be hungry and want to reflect on your exciting experiences in a café. There are plenty of places to stop for refreshments, especially in the city centre. The banks of the River Avon, which meanders through Bristol, are particularly cosy. A picnic by the river is a favourite with visitors and locals alike, especially in summer. Or you can sit back and relax in a pub.
