This was just one of the exciting Edinburgh activities that took place over winter of 2011/2012. Check back in September for the top tips for Edinburgh Sparkles 2012/2013.
Taking place every week until Christmas, the Edinburgh Sparkles Treasure Hunt offers up the chance to find thousands of pounds worth of prizes on city-centre streets.
All you need to do is try and solve the clues on our Twitter account to find exactly where they’re hidden. Then, on your marks, get set, GO! The first person to get there and approach our Edinburgh Sparkles Angel with the phrase "Edinburgh Sparkles" wins.
Follow us here and look out for the hashtag #edintreasure.
Prizes include a VIP Panda experience from Edinburgh Zoo, a £1000 shopping bonanza from Thistle Street retailers and a diamond from Lime Blue.
Due to popular demand, we have added in second and third prizes courtesy of our friends at Edinburgh's Hogmanay and Edinburgh's Christmas. Up for grabs are tickets to Concert in the Gardens, Keilidh and Street Party as well as delicious freebies from the German Market, a twirl on the Big Wheel and a spin on the Ice-rink.
Dates of the treasure hunt are:
- Monday 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd December
Previous Treasure Hunt winners James and Georgia Rogers had this to say:
"We wanted to say thank you so much for our treasure hunt prize. We had a really wonderful time and felt very spoilt by the staff at Camera Obscura, and at Point Hotel. We are new to Edinburgh and the experience has made us fall in love with the city even quicker than we would have done otherwise."
