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, and/or a Virtual ('Armchair') Challenge, which you can complete online, anywhere you choose, using tools such as what3words, Google Maps and your preferred search engine. Solve all 18 clues correctly and 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 Voucher you buy will be donated to an animal welfare and/or environmental charity.

The Perfect Gift Anytime
Give the gift of adventure with an 18 Clues Gift Voucher!
You can choose to have the gift voucher emailed to yourself to print out and present in person, or you can opt to have the voucher emailed directly to the recipient on a date that you pre-schedule.
If you choose to have the gift voucher emailed to yourself, you can buy a stylish presentation sleeve from our Challenge Shop for just £2, including postal charges. You then simply insert the voucher you have purchased and present to your friend or loved one.
£1 for each £10 spent on gift vouchers and £1 for each presentation sleeve purchased will be donated to animal and/or environmental charities.
IMPORTANT: If you are buying a Challenge for others, always buy a gift voucher. Why? Whenever you purchase a Challenge through the Challenge Shop, a Unique Reference Number (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 voucher, 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.

Latest Challenge Location...
Edinburgh
The Scottish capital constantly ranks as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Brimming with rich history, striking architecture, lush green spaces, and undeniable character, Edinburgh is a captivating place to explore.
Your Challenge is to correctly solve 18 clues to identify who started a fire on Castle Rock, very close to Edinburgh Castle. Needless to say, this deed could have had devastating consequences, making it crucial for the culprit to be identified and the truth revealed.
The Walking version will give you a fantastic overview of stunning Edinburgh. It is around four and a half miles long and will take around three and a half hours to complete. Allow longer for refreshment stops, picnics, and/or taking in points of interest along the way. As with all Challenges, you can start and finish at any clue, and may split it over a couple of days if you wish. NOTE: You won't be required to climb Arthur's Seat to complete this Challenge, but Edinburgh is built on several hills, so do be prepared for some upward gradients along the way!
The Virtual version will take up to two hours to complete, although you can, of course, start and stop whenever you wish. You never know where you will pop up next to find and solve a clue!
Clues, facts and solutions for the two versions are completely different, so if you live near or are visiting Edinburgh, why not buy both Walking and Virtual versions to not only discover twice as much, but also enhance your chances of winning the prize draw?
£1 from each Challenge sold will be donated to an animal or environmental chairity. Thank you for joining us in supporting animals and the environment!
