On a brisk Brighton morning the gulls keep score while you work through your first riddle — the sea itself seems to prod you toward the pier.
This self-guided scavenger hunt turns the city into a compact outdoor playground. You’ll move from the pebbled shoreline and the carnival clang of Brighton Palace Pier into the dense alleys of The Lanes, reading clues that point to Banksy’s Kissing Coppers, the exotic domes of the Royal Pavilion, and other civic quirks.
Brighton grew from a 19th‑century fishing village into a Regency-era seaside escape; the Pavilion’s onion domes and lavish interiors reflect that era’s taste for theatrical architecture. Geologically, you’re walking along the mix of pebble beach and reclaimed Victorian promenade with the chalk of the South Downs visible inland — a landscape that shaped Brighton’s role as a health and leisure destination.
Locals prize eccentric shops, independent cafés, and pop-up art in side streets — all useful detours between clues. The scavenger app keeps the route flexible: you pause, take photos for creative challenges, and look for answers hidden in plaques, shop windows, and public art.
Practical notes: allow 1–2 hours, wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven pebbles and pavements, and bring a fully charged smartphone (the game runs in-app). Start early to avoid heavy foot traffic on the pier and schedule breaks for coffee or a quick seafront snack. Keep an eye on the tide line when exploring close to the water; the sea’s presence is a living part of the route and will influence how you move through the city.
