The Hunt Is On

Groups and parties

Team building and parties on the Sunshine Coast

Briefing // Groups, teams and events

Split into teams, race through a town and settle it on the leaderboard. For work teams, Christmas parties, birthdays and school holiday groups.

Split up, race, compare times

Every game but one works for a group. Split into teams of two to six, give each team a name, and send everyone off from the first stop. Each team plays on one phone, so there is always someone reading the clue and someone spotting the answer. Teammates can add the team's code to their own accounts, so the finish lands on everyone's passport and leaderboard spot.

The one exception is Stay on the Line. Best played alone. Got company? Keep the phone in your hand and let them watch.

When the last team comes in, the leaderboard settles the argument: fastest time wins, and hints cost time, so the team that solved it clean can still take the lead.

Ideas for your group

Team days

Work Christmas parties and team days

A couple of hours outdoors, a story to crack and a scoreboard at the end. Pick a town with somewhere to eat at the finish, start teams a few minutes apart, and meet for lunch or drinks once the last case is closed.

Birthdays

Birthdays

For kids, the story trails are the pick: no clock, free hints, and something of their own to make at the end: a sketchbook page in Pip and the Pelican, or Nan's postcard in Nan's Postcard Dare. For teens and adults, a mystery with a twist and a leaderboard works better.

Holidays

School holidays and visiting family

A way to see a town with a story to follow, at your own pace. Players under 18 play with a parent or guardian, who ticks the safety box for them.

Groups

Clubs, schools and community groups

Teachers and group leaders can run several teams through the same town. Tell us what you are planning and we will help you choose the game and the route.

Planning the day

  1. 1

    Pick a game. Each game page shows the town, how you get around, the time and the stops. See every game.

  2. 2

    Set your teams. Two to six people per team works best, one phone each, fully charged.

  3. 3

    Start at the first stop. Stagger the teams by a few minutes so you are not all crowding the same clue.

  4. 4

    Meet at the finish and check the leaderboard together.

Safety for groups: whoever starts a game for a team confirms that everyone has read the safety rules. Keep teams together near roads, cliffs and water.

Tell us what you are planning

Questions

How many people can play together?

As many as you like. Split into teams of two to six, one phone per team, and everyone races on the same leaderboard.

Is it good for team building?

Each puzzle needs someone reading, someone looking and someone thinking, so everyone has a job. The leaderboard at the end gives the day a winner.

What does it cost for a group?

Prices are on each game's card: the trails are free, and the mysteries are $10. Planning something big? Message us first.

Can kids come?

Yes. The story trails suit families best. Players under 18 play with a parent or guardian, who ticks the safety box for them.
