FAQ's

How is the day structured?

All our games are mobile, and we currently offer multiple real-world locations through the U.K. In terms of spaces, we can run or begin your game from a public space, private space, or a hired venue. We can also start some of our games in one location and end in another. Depending on the entertainment you choose, we will arrive up to 4 hours before the game is scheduled to begin. (For some games we can arrive as little as 15 minutes before your scheduled start time). During this time we will set up our equipment, sound check, load any relevant media and lay out our game packs. When the players arrive we do an ice breaker game to divide everyone into teams (we advise one adult per team of 6, who will take charge of the technology part of the game). 

We explain the rules of the game, and then teams will need to come up with and submit a ‘winning team name'. This submission makes sure the adults are familiar with our technology. Once all the team names are in, the games will begin. All our games are points based, and therefore the team that accumulates the most points throughout the game wins. At the end of the game we will do a ceremony, which consists of a media showcase, of photos/videos submitted by the teams during the game, followed by a run through of the points and a hand out of the prizes / trophies.

How does it work?

Once you've enquired through our website, you will receive a product brochure, which outlines our different games and packages. Once you've confirmed your game, group size, location, event time/date, and the package you'd like to purchase, we will send you an invoice/payment link to confirm your booking, and an event organiser checklist.

The event organiser checklist includes a link to our bespoke questionnaire. Once you've filled in our bespoke questionnaire, you will receive an instruction email, with all the details about your game, as well as a draft copy of your bespoke game.

Once you've signed-off on your game, we send it for production, and look forward to seeing you on game day.

How many people can play?

Our children’s events require one adult to six children, and we can cater for a maximum of 40 children in public spaces, and 200 on private land.

Where are your locations?

We offer games throughout the U.K. However, for game’s outside of London there is a travel charge.

Can we create our games and tasks?

We love creativity! All our Scavenger Hunt games include 20 bespoke tasks, and we can create additional rounds for our on stage games. Before your game we will send you a personalisation questionnaire to fill in, the more detailed information you send us the better! For an additional fee we also offer fully bespoke games and services, meaning the sky's the limit.
