These are optional and include collecting things, photo opportunities and other fun activities! The aim of the hunt is to gain as many points as possible by answering the clues correctly and completing the extra tasks.
When you have completed your treasure hunt get back together maybe at a bar or restaurant to mark the answers 'pub quiz style' and if you visit the members area on our website you can personalise and print your very own huntfun certificates. (There is no actual treasure at the end by the way sorry!) The winning team is the one with the most points!
Several sets of steps around the route which are not easily by-passed make this hunt unsuitable for wheelchair users.

Organisers can set a start and finish point and the time the teams have to complete the hunt in. It is then up to each team to navigate their way to the 'huntfun hotspots' where challenges including clues to answer and tasks and activities to be completed can be accessed. Teams will be awarded points for correctly completing the challenges set. Scores are calculated real time so you are able to see how you and the other teams are doing throughout the hunt. The aim of the hunt is to gain as many points as possible in the allocated time. You will earn bonus points for getting to the finish early and penalty will be deducted if you are late! Strategy and team work is needed to plan your route carefully to ensure you get as many points as possible and if you access a 'hint' only half the points available will be awarded!
