Escape the Dark Curse Treasure Hunt

A dark curse has been cast across a distant land, robbing its people of their good magic. You must re-discover your magic skills to lift the curse in this thrilling treasure hunt adventure.

Working your way through 3 enchanting levels, you and your fellow spellcasters will use your smartphones to navigate around your chosen location. Along the way, you’ll be presented with GPS hotspots containing various magical challenges and tasks. You only have until the Blood Moon sets (90 minutes in human time) to learn magic and potion-making skills, all whilst collecting important virtual items and valuable points!

As the clock ticks down, it’s up to you to help the land back to its former glory, break the curse and escape. Can you restore the magic of this befallen land before the Blood Moon sets?

The aim of the game!

One of our Remote Facilitators will kickstart your mystical mission with a virtual briefing, giving you as much information about your quest as possible!

Working in teams of 4-6 players, you and your team will set off to navigate your chosen location using your own smartphone devices. As you explore the interactive GPS map, you’ll be presented with hotspots containing a variety of mythical challenges, questions and tasks. As you complete the challenges across all 3 levels, you’ll learn important spells and potions whilst collecting virtual items and valuable points. But beware of the ticking clock, there’s only 90 minutes before the Blood Moon sets and the good magic is lost forever!

All the items you find on your adventure will be added to the ‘Magic Items’ area within the app. Each player will be able to track their progress through the live scoreboard and toggle between their tasks and the GPS map.

The aim of the game is to score as many magic points as possible and escape the curse, restoring all good magic! The winning team will be the ones who have escaped the curse, with the most points.

How is this activity run?

You can choose from three different delivery methods depending upon your requirements and budget. We have explained these in a bit more detail below:

Fully Hosted

With our fully hosted option, an experienced facilitator will be onsite at your chosen venue from start to finish to ensure everything runs smoothly and everyone has a great time. Your facilitator will present an engaging initial briefing at the start of your event as well as the all-important results session at the end. They will also be on hand throughout to answer any questions and troubleshoot any issues.

In addition to having one of our awesome facilitators on-site with you, we will also provide each team with their own iPad, pre-loaded with the gameplay app which they can use for the duration of the activity.

If you are looking for a hassle-free solution, then the fully hosted option is a perfect choice.

Part Hosted

Like our fully hosted option, the part hosted option also includes an experienced facilitator onsite at your chosen venue from start to finish to ensure everything runs smoothly and everyone has a great time.

Your facilitator will present an engaging initial briefing at the start of your event and the all-important results session at the end. They will also be on hand throughout to answer any questions and troubleshoot any issues.

Unlike the full hosted package, the part hosted option does not include iPads for the teams. As a result, they would need to download the gameplay app onto their own compatible device (either a smartphone or tablet) in advance of the event and would use this to complete their treasure hunt.

Remote Hosted

The remote hosted options is our most cost-effective solution. If you choose this option your treasure hunt team building activity will be delivered live by an experienced facilitator via Zoom.
The remote hosted option does not include iPads for the teams. As a result, they would need to download the gameplay app onto their own compatible device (either a smartphone or tablet) in advance of the event and would use this to complete their treasure hunt.

In advance of your event, we will provide you with an event details sheet which has all the information you need including a link for your Zoom call and also details of how to download the gameplay app.

For all of these delivery methods, we will have one event host/facilitator for every 50 participants.
