This unique foodie adventure takes you to three of Manchester’s most interesting dumpling destinations, from long-established favourites that have been perfecting their craft for decades to modern kitchens putting their own creative spin on this comfort food classic. Along the way, you’ll discover just how varied and exciting dumplings can be.
Expect everything from delicate handmade parcels packed with flavour to rich, satisfying dishes that deliver pure comfort with every bite. Each stop offers something completely different, showcasing styles, techniques and traditions that go far beyond what most people imagine when they think of dumplings.
A series of clues will be sent directly to your phone via WhatsApp. To unlock each restaurant, you'll need to solve puzzles hidden throughout Manchester’s streets, buildings and hidden details. Every correct answer reveals your next destination, guiding you on a food-filled journey through Manchester while uncovering some of the city's hidden corners along the way.
The treasure hunt is timed, meaning you'll be racing against the clock for a place on the leaderboard. But the timer pauses whenever you reach a restaurant, giving you plenty of time to sit back and enjoy your food.
