Welcome to 18 Clues! As you haven't bought from us before, please select the POSTAL delivery format option at checkout for your first order. We will then send a Welcome Card with tips, offers and other information with your first Challenge(s). For subsequent orders, you will be able to choose between POSTAL or PDF Download.
How 18 Clues Works
You go to our Challenge Shop and purchase one or more of our 18 Clues Challenges. You can choose a Walking Challenge, which requires you to visit the location and find the clues in person, or a Virtual Challenge, which you can complete online, anywhere you choose, using tools such as what3words, Google Maps and your preferred search engine. Assuming you solve all 18 clues correctly, you will be left with the correct solution to the Challenge, which you can then submit online to be entered into an amazing prize draw.
All clues, facts and solutions in the Walking and Virtual Challenge versions are different, so if you are able to visit the Challenge location, you can complete both Challenge versions to double your chances of winning the prize. As you explore the location, be it physically or virtually, you will learn loads of interesting facts... but best of all, a healthy percentage of the price of each Challenge or Gift Card you buy will be donated to an animal welfare and/or environmental charity.

Give the gift of adventure with an 18 Clues Gift Card.
You can choose to have the Gift Card emailed to yourself to print out and present in person, or you can choose to have the Gift Card emailed directly to the recipient as an eGift Card on a date that you pre-schedule.
If you choose to have the Gift Card emailed to yourself, you can buy stylish Presentation Sleeves from our Challenge Shop for just £1 which we will post out to you free of postal charges. You then simply insert the voucher you have purchased and present to your friend or loved one. Twenty percent from all Gift Cards purchased plus all proceeds from the Presentation Sleeves will be donated to the relevant animal and/or environmental charity.
IMPORTANT: If you are buying a gift for others, always buy a Gift Card. Why? Whenever you purchase a Challenge through the Challenge Shop, a URN is generated that is specifically linked to you and your contact details, so only you will be able to request answers to clues or submit the final answer. If, however, you buy someone a Gift Card, they can choose whichever Challenge(s) they wish, and when they redeem their voucher they will be registered as a member in their own right.

The First Challenge
Welcome to our first 18 Clues Challenges, which are set in the West End of London. You will begin your Challenge in iconic Piccadilly Circus, then embark on a journey of discovery through parts of the West End, Royal Parks and Mayfair, before returning to your starting point... hopefully with your Challenge solved! Choose from the Walking Challenge, the Virtual Challenge or - as each have different clues, facts and solutions - why not try both?
Your Challenge is to correctly solve 18 clues to pinpoint the location of a devious device and thereby prevent the unscrupulous 'Disruptor' and her cronies from throwing London's West End into utter chaos! We hope you can help!
We will publish a Walking and Virtual Challenge for a new location at the beginning of each month. Each Challenge will support a different animal or environmental charity but as all Challenges will remain available for purchase in our ever-increasing catalogue, all participating charities will benefit on an ongoing basis. Our prize packages will change quarterly, with each prize draw closing at midnight on the final day of the quarter. All correct answers submitted will be entered into the prize draw active at the time of submission. All charities that we donate to in a given quarter will be listed on our website at the beginning of the following quarter. This list will naturally increase in size as time goes by, as will the donations.
We now invite you to buy your first Challenge and start exploring...
