What is Quest-Hero?

How the Scavenger Hunt App Works

Quest-Hero is designed to be the ultimate scavenger hunt mobile app for parents and kids. It combines the thrill of a classic treasure hunt with modern GPS technology.

1. Choose Your Adventure

Select from our library of immersive themes. Whether your kids want to join Captain Barnbeard on a pirate voyage, solve mysteries with the Detective Trio, or explore the forest with Clara, there's a perfect story for every interest.

2. Set the Stage

You are the game master! Open the app (no download needed!) and place the puzzle stations on a map of your playing area. You can play anywhere—a local park, a safe hiking trail, or even your backyard. The app automatically links the stations into a route.

3. Play & Explore

Hand the phone to the kids (or keep it yourself as the guide). The GPS compass points them to the next location. When they arrive, a riddle or challenge pops up. Solving it unlocks the next part of the story. It's active, educational, and completely self-guided, letting you sit back and enjoy the fun or join in the adventure.

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.”
Andrew D.

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.”
Mark D.

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.”
Rachel G.
