You start on the pebble promenade with wind doing the thinking for you and gulls eyeing your progress. The smartphone map lights up and a friendly, remote guide nudges you into the first riddle — then the town becomes a playground of clues, photos and small dares.
Eastbourne’s grid of Victorian terraces, the wide esplanade and nearby South Downs geology mean you’re moving through layers of history: Georgian and Victorian architecture, wartime coastal defenses and the chalk cliffs that frame the horizon at Beachy Head. The game routes thread past civic squares, public art and independent cafés, giving a quick tour of local culture as you chase points.
The scavenger hunt format uses an app-driven checklist of ~120 objects and 13 categories; teams photograph finds and complete timed challenges while a remote host texts hints and scores your efforts. It’s social, family-friendly and stroller-accessible — fitness demands are low but expect two hours of steady walking across paved streets and beach promenades.
Practical guidance: arrive with a charged phone and good walking shoes, set notifications on for messages from your remote guide, and pick a start point near public transport on the seafront. Plan for changing weather — the coast can shift from bright sun to a brisk wind in minutes. Play competitively for leaderboard bragging rights or take it easy to discover lesser-known corners of Eastbourne between clues.
