The sea pushes at the shingle and the town answers with gull cries and narrow alleys — this is Hastings on a brisk, game-ready morning. Teams fan out from the pier and Old Town, phones in hand, following riddles that nudge them toward fishing stalls, murals, and tucked-away courtyards. The app pings; a photo scores points; the leaderboard shifts in real time.

The sea pushes at the shingle and the town answers with gull cries and narrow alleys — this is Hastings on a brisk, game-ready morning. Teams fan out from the pier and Old Town, phones in hand, following riddles that nudge them toward fishing stalls, murals, and tucked-away courtyards. The app pings; a photo scores points; the leaderboard shifts in real time.
Hastings' streets are compact but layered: medieval lanes in the Old Town, Victorian terraces on the ridge, and the working Stade where boats still beached on shingle. Geologically, the coastline is chalk and sandstone scarred by erosion, which gives rise to the pebble beach and the low cliffs that frame the town. Culturally, Hastings leans practical — fishmongers, galleries, and community theaters — with history that brushes the Norman invasion at nearby Battle and the long lifeline of coastal fishing.
Practically, this is a 2-hour, app-driven, family- and group-friendly city game. Players can tackle tasks in any order, submit photos to score, and chat with a remote host for hints. Expect 2–3 miles of walking on paved streets and pebbled sections; bring a charged smartphone and pockets for small purchases. Start in the morning to avoid summer crowds, wear comfortable shoes for uneven pavements, and respect private property when photographing clues. The hunt is accessible and stroller-friendly but does require basic navigation and smartphone literacy. Whether chasing the leaderboard or exploring with friends, this scavenger hunt turns Hastings’ everyday corners into a strategic playground.
