FAQs

How long do the trails take?

The duration of each of our trails is different, you can see specific information on the "plan your day" section of the specific trail. In general our routes aim to last around 2.5 hours on average.

Multiple Teams - Competitive

You can take extra breaks or come back to your route at anytime. Just continue from where you left off at your own convenience. Handy if the heaven's decide to open! Your team clock will still be ticking, but not everything's a race!

When can I start my adventure?

Some of our trails have specific time slots that you should start within, this is usually due to closing public areas that you'll be travelling through. Some adventures can be played at any time so you can start whenever you're ready.

The latest start time assumes that you'll take no longer than the maximum duration, most teams will complete the trail within this time, if you'd like to go slower then start a bit earlier!

Can I book and play the same day?

Of course! After purchasing you can login to your dashboard, where you can enter your team name and number and get setup to go within a couple of minutes. If you're a larger group and would like the booking split into smaller teams, please book in advance so we can accommodate this for you.

Along the way we'll take you to fantastic secret areas and breaks at brilliant pubs/cafes.

What size groups can be accommodated?

Our activities are perfect to get a bit of friendly competition going, simply let us know how you'd like your booking split into teams and we can get you setup with a live leaderboard too!

Are you flexible with dates?

Absolutely, when you're booking you can select to choose your date later. If you've already chosen a date and would like to change this, just reach out to the team and we can process this for you, completely free of charge.

How do the breaks on the way work?

On your adventure you'll reach 'rest stops' where we'll recommend some great local businesses - feel free to enjoy a recommendation, find somewhere else or skip entirely - there is absolutely no pressure to enter or use any of the businesses mentioned.

The game timer will stop during the rest zone so feel free to relax!

How does it work with multiple groups on the same route?

For multiple teams you can start all at once or stagger start times by a couple of minutes - groups organically spread out and overtake throughout the activity. The fastest team may not be the winning group as there are time penalties for wrong answers, a fine balance!

What if groups arrive at different times, can we start at different times?

Absolutely, each team's timer will start when they send 'start' and each team will receive their overall time (with penalties!) at the end for comparison.

If you'd like us to set you up a private live leaderboard for your teams, just ask!

Will groups overlap on the route?

Maybe. Depending on how busy the route is you might be on the tail of another group, overtaking or getting overtaken. It's a great way to meet other like minded adventurers on the way, don't forget to say hi to each other and get a bit competitive!
