Set the boundaries out loud
Announce the limits of the playing area clearly before you start. A group on a hunt goes further than you'd imagine.
Group activities
Running an activity at a summer camp, campsite or holiday club
Forty children, a large site, and three leaders.
Group activities always hit the same wall: the bigger the group, the more supervisors you need to keep the game running. A traditional treasure hunt needs one leader per station to check answers, which staffing never allows.
With QR codes, checking is automatic. A single leader follows the whole group from their phone, while the others stay free for safety and support.
How to go about it
- 1
Cover the whole site
Codes spread across the grounds keep participants walking and stop everyone crowding round the same hiding place.
- 2
Play in teams
Teams of three or four sharing a leader's or an older child's phone. That keeps the number of devices needed down.
- 3
Match the theme of the week
The questions can be rewritten in five minutes: nature, sport, cinema, depending on the programme.
- 4
Supervise from one screen
The dashboard shows where each team has got to. A group that stops moving is telling you there's a problem before anyone comes to find you.
Example questions
Each question offers four possible answers, only one of which is correct. You decide how many points it is worth.
- How many trees line the sports field?
- What is the name of the camp director?
- What colour is the flag at the entrance?
- How many cabins does the campsite have?
Advice from the field
Keep the codes out of the rain
A plastic sleeve is enough, and the code scans straight through it. Outdoors over several days, it's essential.
Refresh it with new questions
Changing the questions takes a few minutes and the QR codes stay valid. A different hunt every week, with no reprinting.
Frequently asked questions
How many leaders does it take?+
One to follow the game, since answers are checked automatically. The others stay free for supervision and safety.
Does it work without signal on site?+
No, every question loads from the internet. Test the coverage where you plan to hide a code, and favour areas covered by the site's Wi-Fi.
How many participants at most?+
There is no limit. For a large group, play in teams of three or four to keep the number of phones needed down.
