The Great Coffee Break Treasure Hunt 2026

The Great Coffee Break Treasure Hunt 2026

Author: Coffee Break Languages August 22, 2026 Duration: 3:05

Four mystery cities. Four cryptic clues. One week to work out where we're going.


The Great Coffee Break Treasure Hunt is back for 2026, and everything happens here: https://coffeebreaklanguages.com/treasurehunt


Each clue is a short poem describing a European city without ever naming it. Every clue is written from scratch in French, Italian, German and Spanish by the team who teach it, so it rhymes and reads properly in each one. Watch in whichever language you're learning.


WHEN THE CLUES GO LIVE (all 1pm UK)

Clue 1: Monday 24 August

Clue 2: Wednesday 26 August

Clue 3: Friday 28 August

Clue 4: Sunday 30 August


HOW TO ENTER

The entry form opens on the Treasure Hunt website on Sunday 30 August, alongside the final clue, and closes at 11:59pm UK on Monday 31 August.


WHAT YOU CAN WIN

Get all four right and you win a free month on Coffee Break TV, our on-demand video platform, in whichever language you're learning. You also go into a prize draw. One name comes out of the hat for each language, and that person takes the whole collection of Coffee Break courses in their language.


THE BONUS CLUE

Sign up for the Treasure Hunt emails and we'll send you an extra clue with every city: roughly how far it is from the last one, and in which direction. That one only goes out by email. You can sign up on the landing page.


THE REVEAL

Mark names all four cities, and the hidden spot the final clue points to, on Tuesday 1 September at 4pm UK. A second video on Wednesday 2 September goes back through every clue line by line and explains how each one worked. It's free, it's open to everyone, and there's no travel involved.
