A little planning goes a long way.
The details depend on the route, your group and the day you have in mind.
A possible format
For an orientation day, a route could introduce useful places around campus, with a prompt at each stop to give students a reason to look around and talk. Start and finish points need to fit the rest of the day.
What to tell us
Share the campus or area, age group, headcount, date and learning goals. Tell us about supervision, access needs and any places the route should include or avoid.
What to agree with PuzzleDuck
PuzzleDuck can shape the route and app prompts around the brief. Agree the difficulty, timing, site permissions and supervision arrangements before choosing a format.
What affects the price
Route research, learning content, player count, the play window and any agreed support affect a bespoke quote. Tell us what material you already have and what needs to be created.
Practical questions
A few things to check before you set off.
How many people can do a hunt?
Capacity depends on the route, venue, timing, support, and format. Tell PuzzleDuck your expected headcount so the team can confirm what is practical for your brief.
How long does a hunt last?
Duration depends on the number and spacing of stops, challenge difficulty, group pace, and the booked play window. The public hunt page or booking details give the estimate for that route.
Where do hunts start?
For bespoke hunts, you can specify the start point or ask PuzzleDuck to recommend one. Public hunts show their route facts before play.
Are hunts entirely outside?
They are outdoor by default, but bespoke routes can include indoor stops such as galleries, museums, offices, venues, or on-site buildings when that supports the experience.
Does every player need a phone?
Phone requirements depend on the hunt format. The public hunt page or booking confirms whether each player needs the app. Anyone playing on a phone should bring it charged and have mobile data available.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Weather arrangements depend on the booking terms. Contact PuzzleDuck as early as possible to discuss rescheduling or other practical options.
How accessible are the hunts?
Public places can change because of roadworks, closures, or other local conditions. Share access requirements before booking so the proposed route and any known constraints can be checked and discussed.
What should players wear?
Wear clothing and footwear suitable for the route, forecast, and expected walking distance. Check the public hunt page or booking for route-specific advice.
Discuss an education route
