The experience

About this quest

This quest is an interactive trail set on the stunning historic grounds and riverside of Greenwich!

Explorer Ollie has lost his model ship, and needs your help to find it. By cracking secret codes, spotting animal shapes, and solving riddles on real-world sites, you will trace the ship's trail and save the day!

Start the tour anytime, go at your own pace and even pause if needed. Suitable for all the family from the youngest to the oldest on a flat, accessible route. Even the dog can join!

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Parents with children under about 10 who are visiting Greenwich will enjoy helping explorer Ollie track down his lost model ship. Over about 2 km from the Cutty Sark to Nelson's Ship in a Bottle, kids crack codes, spot animal shapes and solve easy riddles, and the dog can come along too. Older children or adults hoping for a detailed history of the Royal Navy may find the puzzles too gentle.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a treasure hunt for kids in Greenwich?
Yes. This free-to-play trail follows the riverside and historic grounds of Greenwich. Children help explorer Ollie find his missing model ship by cracking secret codes, spotting animal shapes and solving riddles at real places, including St Alfege Church and the Old Royal Naval College. It is rated easy.
Where does the trail start and finish?
It starts at the Cutty Sark and finishes at Nelson's Ship in a Bottle, so it is not a loop. Along the way you pass the Greenwich Market College approach, St Alfege Church, the Old Royal Naval College, the Painted Hall, the river gates, Admiral Nelson and the Queen Mary Undercroft.
How long does it take?
Most families take around 75 minutes, including the walking and the puzzles, over a distance of about 2 km. You go at your own pace and can pause the game and continue later, which helps if little ones need a snack break or a rest.
What age is it suitable for?
The trail is rated easy and is aimed at families with young children, roughly under 10. The puzzles are codes, animal shapes and riddles found in the sights around you. Children under 12 should be guided by their parents while playing.
Do we need to book a time?
No. There is no group to join and no guide, so you can start whenever you like. The route is open 24/7, but it is better in daylight, when the clues around Greenwich are easier to spot and the riverside is at its best.
