Should I choose a Pub Challenge or Code Breaker Treasure Hunt ?

This really depends on the team! We're continually adding new locations to both formats but our Code Breaker Treasure Hunts currently operate at a larger number of locations in the UK and Europe. You will be prompted to choose your preferred format when placing your order.

Where does the Takeaway Treasure Hunt start and finish?

All our Treasure Hunts are designed to be flexible so that you can start and finish the treasure hunt at a location to suit yourself. We would recommend a pub, bar, hotel or restaurant which is central to the treasure hunt area.

What time does the Treasure Hunt start?

Due to the flexibility of the Takeaway treasure hunt, you can start your treasure hunt at a time to suit yourself! However, please be aware that our Pub Challenge Treasure Hunts need access to the six pubs listed in the six coloured zones so it is advisable that you complete Pub Challenge Treasure Hunts between the hours of 12 noon and 11pm.

Does each team have the same clues?

Each treasure hunt team has exactly the same clues. The treasure hunts is spread out between six different coloured zones which can be completed in any order. This is not a trail whereby each team must follow a set route, but rather each team is required to work out the best way of completing the hunt. No two teams ever plan their route in exactly the same way, thus ensuring that teams do not all complete the treasure hunt in the same order!

Is there any set-up required?

All of the clues are set-up for you so there is nothing for you to do on the day other than to read the instructions and get going!

Can the organiser be involved?

Absolutely! The Takeaway treasure hunt is designed so that the scoring is done via the text messaging feature, and not via the organiser, meaning that everyone can take part! As with a board game, the organiser may need to read the rules to everyone and ensure that all participants are clear on what is happening but after that, they are free to take part.

Are prizes provided?

We do not provide prizes as part of the Takeaway Treasure Hunt packages. Why not buy some prizes for the winning team or some wooden spoons for the losers! Unfortunately, we don't provide drinks for our Pub Challenge treasure hunts either!

How long does the Takeaway Treasure Hunt take to complete?

We recommend that you allow 2-3 hours for the actual Treasure Hunt, with timings dependant on how competitive and fit you are, and how well you plan your route! These timings are given on the basis that all individuals within each team stick together throughout the hunt. If the individuals within each team split up then you will complete the hunt in 1 – 1 ½ hours so please ensure that all teams agree on the rules beforehand (this is explained in the ‘Rules & Procedures’ Handbook that goes out with your pack). Conversely, you will probably spend more than 3 hours completing the hunt if you intend to have some refreshment stops along the way or get stuck in a pub!

What will the text messaging feature cost me?

The text messaging is free to use for UK phones in the UK! Roaming charges will apply from your network operator for non-UK phones in the UK or for UK phones abroad.

How many Team Packs will I need?

We recommend that you have up to 5 people in each treasure hunt team so as to ensure maximum enjoyment and involvement. You should therefore purchase one Team Pack for each team that is going to take part.

When will I receive my Takeaway Treasure Hunt?

Your boxed Takeaway Treasure Hunt will normally be posted out to you approximately 2 weeks prior to your event as long as payment has been received. Don’t worry if your event is less than two weeks away though, as we can send the packs out by Special Delivery for a guaranteed next day delivery if required!

How do we book a Treasure Hunt?

How much will my Treasure Hunt cost?

This will depend on how many treasure hunt team packs are required. Our treasure hunts are extremely competitively priced and are costed on a 'per team pack' basis. Postage and Packing is charged at a standard flat rate of £5 irrespective of the number of team packs. Click here for full details on our treasure hunt prices.
