The bride doesn’t want something cliché that could have been anyone’s hen do. Those places where as soon as one hen party leaves, another one arrives. They're a total rip-off and there's no point going all the way to Glasgow for that.
You need to get all the hens on board. Otherwise there'll be breakaway groups just hitting the pub and splitting up the group. So it's got to be fun for everyone, aunties, the uni mates and the siblings too.
It's going to be like herding cats - getting everyone in the right place at a certain time is never going to happen. So best avoid activities with a rigid time slot and no flexibility. Especially where you have to confirm numbers months ahead - there are bound to be drop-outs.
You know Glasgow's a fab place for a hen do with cool bars, restaurants and quirky things to see. It's just a question of making the most of the city while all having fun together.
Fun activity for all the hens.
Super flexible and easy to organise.
Enjoy Glasgow together with a fun, chilled out treasure hunt game. See the best bits of the city with our carefully designed walking route. We'll show you the main sights and the lesser known spots too, so you'll feel like you actually got to see Glasgow.
Get all the hens excited… Who doesn't remember the thrill of a childhood treasure hunt? This one's made for adults, with proper puzzles, interesting facts, decent pub stops and a bit of banter too.
It's super easy to organise. We don't need a deposit and drop-outs aren't a problem: we do free cancellation because plans change. On the day, start when you like. Go at your own pace and enjoy the recommended pubs. No rush.
We're here to help you plan the perfect hen weekend. Pop us an email if there's anything we can do.

It's the perfect way to see Glasgow 🧭
You'll make the most of being in Glasgow. You wouldn't want to come all this way and not actually see anything.
No spoilers, you'll see the famous spots like the bustling Buchanan Street, but the real fun is uncovering hidden spots.
Learn something new
You're going to learn some interesting facts and stories, like the story of the Duke of Wellington statue and his ever-present traffic cone.
Nothing too heavy going, just enough to give you a taste of some of the people and stories that make Glasgow what it is.
All have fun together
With Treasure Hunt Glasgow, you'll all have fun together. No-one's going to feel uncomfortable getting involved. No breakaway groups disappearing to the pub.
You're going to have a laugh solving cryptic clues and following treasure maps. They're tricky but solvable and they'll get you bonding together.
Take your time, go at your own pace
You can start when you like, so no problem if you're struggling to get the girls out the door.
You could even finish the next day if the girls do get stuck in a nice pub!
Make it a competition
We recommend splitting into teams of 6, or 8 at a push. Who can get the highest score?
Points are awarded based on how many clues you got right first time. So think carefully if you want to win.
Don't worry, even though you'll split up, you'll see plenty of each other. Each team follows the same route. Why not arrange to meet up at the half-way pub stop? That way the hens will get to know their teams, then you'll all come back together later.
Free cancellation, no stress
Things change. You're going to have drop-outs, or maybe you'll all have such banging headaches you can't face a treasure hunt. That's fine, we understand.
We’re flexible. If your plans change and Glasgow is no longer on the cards, you can reschedule or cancel for free.
... confirm numbers later
Fun or your money back
We're so confident you and the hens are going to love Treasure Hunt Glasgow, if you don't have fun, we promise to give your money back. Just tell us what went wrong and we'll make it right.
By the end, you'll have explored Glasgow, learnt something interesting and made memories you'll laugh about at the wedding.
What if it rains?
If it's patchy rain, you can duck into one of Glasgow's pubs or ornate arcades. There's no time limit.
If it's pouring, feel free to switch days. Or you could start one day and finish on another.
If it's really chucking it down and you'd rather not get washed away in the Clyde, we offer a full refund - even if you've started.
Will it be too difficult?
Don't worry! The treasure hunt has some tricky clues, but if you get stuck you can ask for a hint.
You won't get totally stuck, going in circles around George Square...
Do we all have it on our phones?
That's right: everyone can open the game link on their own phone if they want to. That way you're not all squinting at one phone, and if you anyone gets lost they can see what's going on.
When you're playing in 2 or 3 teams, each team has a separate game link. Each team will be playing the exactly same game, but their own version.
Will I have fun if I'm from Glasgow?
Yes! You already know the city, but we bet you'll notice things you've walked past a hundred times before.
We've worked hard to find the less-obvious stuff - beyond the typical blue plaques - and some interesting stories and anecdotes. You're going to have a great time!
Will it be too physical?
It's 2½ miles walking, but Glasgow's streets are lined with plenty of spots to rest and refresh.
Can you recommend..?
We'll certainly try!
We've spoken to dozens of hens and we love hearing from you. We'll gladly share what we've learned to make your weekend as special as possible.
