A campus treasure hunt in five clues
For freshers’ week, a club, or just a Friday when nobody wants to study. Teams, clues and something real at the end.

Campus is full of places everyone knows and nobody really looks at. Here’s a treasure hunt you can copy, with the clues written for you.
The five clues
- “Where everyone pretends to read but mostly charges their phone.” (The library, obviously.)
- “The tree that has heard every breakup on this campus.”
- “Where the chapati runs out by 12:30 and people fight about it.”
- “The noticeboard nobody has read since 2019.”
- “Where the whole of first year met on day one, lost.” (The main gate.)
How to run it
- Make it a Trail: each clue only opens at the place before, so nobody can skip ahead.
- Teams of three or four. Any bigger and one person is just carrying snacks.
- Put something real at the end: sodas, a prize, a limited number of something for the first team there.
- Keep it in daylight and in public places. Nobody should have to climb anything.
