What our heroes say
4 / 5
“The game worked well with seven children despite the mixed ages. We put all the expedition photos on the television afterward. An adult had to help with the search for tiny creatures. A little adult support kept things moving.”
5 / 5
“Tried this at the weekend with five children aged six to nine. Our junior detectives even invented code names for one another. The mix of movement and puzzles went down better than our usual party games.”
5 / 5
“My daughter asked for a proper treasure hunt this year. They found the secret cauldron at the end with a huge cheer. We hid a small box at the end, and the reaction when they found it was worth the preparation.”
Frequently asked questions
How does the outdoor treasure hunt work?
The treasure hunt runs right in your mobile browser (Safari or Chrome). GPS guides you to each station where exciting riddles await.
What do I need to play?
The best setup is a smartphone with GPS and its own internet connection - Android or iPhone both work perfectly. Tablets with GPS and their own internet also work fine. Tablets without GPS using mobile hotspots can be troublesome. For treasure hunt games you should also hide a small treasure at the final stop.
What can I use as a treasure?
Anything fun works: small toys, candy, chocolate, or another surprise. It doesn’t have to be expensive. A themed container such as a small treasure chest adds to the excitement.
What ages can take part?
Our quests are suitable for children ages 4 and up and adapt to the selected age range. Younger kids who can’t read yet may need a little help.
How long does a game last?
Playtime depends on your route and the number of quizzes. Plan for roughly 30–90 minutes for a typical adventure. The setup shows you the expected walking distance.
Where can we play the treasure hunt?
The quests automatically adjust to your chosen location. Play in a park, downtown, your neighborhood, or even the backyard.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Preparation is quick and easy. Pick the stations on a map to create your personalized route and you’re ready to go in minutes.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
A little rain is fine, but please postpone the game if thunderstorms or high winds are forecast to keep everyone safe.
Can we pause the game?
Yes. You can pause at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically.
What if we can’t solve a quiz?
You receive up to three hints. If you’re still stuck, you can skip the quiz and keep the adventure moving.
How many times can we play a purchased game?
Each quest can be completed twice.
How long is a game valid?
Your game license is valid for one year from the purchase date.
What if I placed a station at the wrong spot?
No worries - even if it ended up in a pond or on private property. You can adjust every station at any time, including while you play. Just reopen the setup and move the marker.
