How a hunt gets made

The same process behind four years of birthday hunts, packed into a builder. You pick. We do the fiddly bits.

Tape 01Map

Draw your patch

Trace your hunting ground on the map. A park, a neighbourhood, a festival field. Everything happens inside the line.

Tape 02Stops

Pick your stops

Choose how long the chaos lasts, then name the places: pubs, shops, landmarks, the suspicious bench.

4–645 min – 1 hrQuick

7–81.5 – 2 hrsClassic

9–102.5 – 3 hrsEpic

Tape 03Theme

Pick a vibe

Generate a theme, from bananas and bubblegum to film noir. It sets the colours, the tone and the riddles.

Tape 04Crews

Assemble the crews

Name the teams and add the players yourself, or let each crew christen itself on the night. Every crew gets its own secret route.

Tape 05Challenges

Set the challenges

Decide what proves a crew was really there.

Tape 06Clues

Write the riddles

Draft a clue for every stop. Get a nudge when you're stuck, or keep it cryptic and cruel. Your call.

Tape 07Test

Print & rehearse

Download a print-ready sheet of QR codes, walk the route in test mode, then wipe it clean for the real thing.

Tape 08Live

Go live

Your hunt runs on its own link, like yourparty.treasurehunt.world. Players just scan and play.

On the night

Everything you need to referee chaos

Players use their phone camera. You hold the power.

Live leaderboard

Every crew's progress, live. Ranks shuffle the moment a clue falls.

Hunt clock

One shared stopwatch for everyone. It stops when the final selfie lands.

The gallery

Every photo and video in one wall. Stick it on a screen at the after-party.

Judges' dashboard

Approve or reject submissions from your phone, with an email every time a crew sends proof.

No cheating

Each crew gets its own order of stops. Scan out of turn and the hunt simply says: not yet.

No app to install

It all runs in the browser. Point a camera at a QR and you're in.

Questions from the long grass

Before you ask

Do players need to download anything?

No. Everything runs in the phone's browser. Scan the first QR and you're in.

How big can a crew be?

Anything from a pair to a dozen. Most hunts work best with crews of four to six.

Does it work anywhere?

Anywhere you can draw on a map and get phone signal: parks, high streets, campuses, festival fields, your aunt's enormous garden.

Who judges the photos and videos?

You do, from your phone. Each submission lands in your dashboard and your inbox. Approve it and the crew's next clue appears instantly.
