Why Choose Pedal & Puzzle
Pedal & Puzzle is a completely different way to explore the New Forest coast. Instead of following a fixed sightseeing route, you unlock your journey by observing the landscape, solving clues and thinking laterally. An escape room game on wheels!! Using fun and comfortable e-bikes, you’ll link together adventurous coastal and forest trails, reaching hidden landmarks and lesser-known places that most visitors never see. The puzzles are woven into the environment, encouraging you to slow down, look closer and engage with where you are, not just ride through it. It’s active, immersive and quietly addictive. Can you solve the challenge to find the code to unlock the safe?
