The builder · 7 steps
How to plan your hunt
The same planning behind four years of birthday hunts, turned into a builder. It takes you through each decision in order and saves your draft on your device as you go.
Step 01Basics
Name it, set the patch
Give the hunt a title, say where it happens (a park, a neighbourhood, a festival field) and when it starts. Players see all three before they join.
Step 02Stops
Plan the route
Pick a length, then name each stop and write its clue. Reorder them until the route makes sense on foot. The last stop is the finish line for every crew.
4–645 min – 1 hrQuick
7–81.5 – 2 hrsClassic
9–102.5 – 3 hrsEpic
Step 03Challenges
Decide what counts as proof
Each stop gets one challenge. Answers can be checked automatically, or left for you to judge. Put a hidden QR in front of any challenge so crews have to find the spot first.

Step 04Theme
Pick the look
Five looks for everything players see, from the join screen to the leaderboard.
Name the teams and list the players yourself, or let crews name themselves on the night. Up to 30 crews. Each gets its own order of stops, so nobody can just follow the crew ahead.
Step 06Preview
Play it before they do
Walk through the whole hunt as any crew, on screen. Pretend-scan the QRs, submit answers, approve photos. Typos and broken routes show up here, not on the night.
Step 07Live
Publish, print, hide
Go live in test mode for free: 2 crews, so you can print the QRs and walk the route. Reset, unlock the hunt for £25, then hide the QRs at the stops. You get a player link and a start QR to send round, plus a private host link for approvals, crews and resets.
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. It starts when the first crew joins and 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
Every photo, video and judged answer queues on your phone. Approve it and the crew's next clue appears straight away.
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
What does it cost?
Building, previewing and a test run with 2 crews are free. Going live for the real thing costs £25 per hunt, paid once. No subscription.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If no crew has started your hunt, email us within 30 days of paying and we refund the full £25. Refund policy.
How long do you keep the photos?
90 days after the last upload. Download the whole gallery from your host dashboard before then.
Do I need an account?
No. When you publish, you get a private host link. Keep it: that link is how you get back into your dashboard, on any phone.
How long does planning take?
The builder itself takes minutes. The real work is choosing stops and writing clues, so walk the area first. Most people plan over an evening, then hide the QR codes on the day.
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 with 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 host dashboard. Approve it and the crew's next clue appears instantly.
Can you run a hunt for us?
For bigger events, yes. Get in touch and tell us what you're plotting.
