Ahoy, adventurer! Step into the storied docks of London, where whispers of pirates and plunder still linger in the air.
Centuries ago, Timon the Toothless—infamous for hijacking a shipload of fine tea—hid his greatest stash somewhere in these very streets. But forget maps and Xs... Timon was a trickster who left behind only riddles, puzzles, and clues tangled in time.
Now it’s your turn to follow his trail. Solve his mind-bending riddles, explore the secrets of St Katharine Docks, and uncover a hidden world of pirates, mystery, and maritime mischief. This walking quest is perfect for families, friends, and puzzle lovers who want to explore London in a fun, unforgettable way. Ready to outwit a pirate? Timon dares you to try.
Highlights
You will be working with The Historical Pirate Society to decode a diary that was found in the Thames. It won't be easy. It was written by Timon the Toothless Pirate and he loved puzzles but something seems a little off about it.
You'll explore St Katharine Docks, Aldgate, Tower Bridge.
There are a variety of different puzzles, varying in difficulty
The mission: Your story in London
He was known for stealing stacks of tea from a wealthy merchant. Timon and his crew drank most of it (getting high off their own supply), but he saved the best and stored it in some secret location.
He did not care for a map with an X, but rather for impossible riddles. Can you outsmart him and find where he hid the tea?
