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 and facts 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, £1 from each Challenge you buy will be donated to charity.

The First Challenge and Charity
Welcome to our first 18 Clues Challenge, which is set in the West End of London. We are pleased to announce that £1 from each copy sold from launch onwards will be donated to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The world’s oldest and largest animal welfare charity, the RSPCA has rescued millions of animals from harm in England and Wales since 1824, showing them the compassion and respect they deserve. They have become the world-leading, science-backed voice for animals and aim to inspire everyone to create a better world for every animal. With the RSPCA celebrating its 200th anniversary this year, and site where the orgnaisation was originally formed located within our first Challenge location, we thought it the perfect charity for this Challenge.
After purchasing your first 18 Clues Challenge, we urge you to click on the 'Challenge Charity' box below to learn all about the history of the RSPCA, and the incredible work it does 'healing wounds, mending hearts and changing lives forever'. We are sure, like us, you will become completely engrossed.
We will publish a Walking and Virtual Challenge for a new Challenge location each month. Each Challenge will support a different 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.
We now invite you to buy your first Challenge and start exploring...
