The Ghost and Ghoul Hunt will guide you around the town centre, exploring the high street and both shopping centres searching for some wanted posters of 6 pesky escaped ghosts and ghouls.
6 clues, 6 Ghostly Posters, 6 letters!!!
Using a spooky map, you and your family can locate 6 posters to find a letter (one letter
per poster). Add the letters to the text box on the map, to spell out a topical word.
Submit the map into the letter box outside the BID office (located within Wheatsheaf Centre) or email it to paul@rochdalebid.co.uk to be in with a chance of winning a prize!
There is a spooky secret if you use the QR code on the poster! Give it a try!
