About this Event

The Great Game Treasure GPS Mobile Phone Treasure Hunt around Edinburgh

We are rated 5/5 on Google and 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor!

This game is perfect for team building exercises or corporate activities as well as families and friends wanting to explore the city and do something quirky.

Get ready for an exhilarating treasure hunt experience! Here are the key details you need to know:

You can start anywhere you like in or on the outskirts of the New & Old Towns. All the questions are scattered around this area and the game isn't linear.


GAMEPLAY

• Load the app on your phone one phone per team.

• Explore your surroundings to find 30 thrilling questions/challenges.

• Prepare for a mix of environment-related questions, brain teasers, puzzles, and trivia.

• Each challenge is worth 50 points, but you only have 5 minutes to conquer it.

• There are some bonus questions each worth double points.

• Some challenges are tougher than others, so be ready for a real test of your skills.

• With a time limit of 2 hours, you’ll need to be quick and plan an efficient route to tackle as many questions as possible.

• At the end you will reveal your treasure - a great local pub at which you can receive discount!

• If you are playing in teams see your scores on a live leader board and purchase weapons to slow other teams down!


HOW TO PLAY

• Mobile Phones: Make sure each team has a fully charged mobile phone (up to 50% battery usage during the game) and some data. You’ll need an internet connection or data to initially download the game, but subsequent connections will be required only for occasional photo downloads and uploads.

• Starting: To begin, access the game using the provided link or QR code. Before diving in, carefully read the instructions on how to play. You can start anywhere you like in St James Park.

• Time: The game is set for 2 hours which starts as soon as you have read the instructions and are prompted to ‘Start game’ (there is a warning written above this button).

• Finishing: The game ends if a team either:

• Completes all the questions.

• The time runs out.

• After finishing, you’ll receive directions to the end pub for a well-deserved celebration.

Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable adventure filled with challenges, competition,

and the thrill of the hunt. Good luck, and may the best team prevail!


HOW TO BOOK:

  1. Choose your ticket for 1-3 people per team. Each team is £19.99, you can have multiple teams and compete for the most points!
  2. After purchase email [email protected] to redeem your ticket.
