Extra Info

The App is designed for Android phones and tablets, the iPhone and the iPad. It will not work on Windows phones or Blackberry.

There are also minimum versions of the operating system that are required for the App so if you can't see it in the store it probably means your phone isn't compatible.

  • Android Version 4.4 and above,
  • Whatever phone or tablet you use, it will also need a data plan, a compass and have GPS activated.
  • A fully charged smartphone will be required per team.

Whilst the App will normally work on other unrecommended Android & iOS devices, there may be times where users experience issues with certain areas such as poor battery life, GPS signal or small issues in the game. In particular, you may have issues if running the App on an old phone.

The GE team had a great time doing the Smartphone Treasure Hunt, it was a great way to see a city!

We would definitely love to do something similar again.

The event ran really well last night and thankfully the weather remained on our side for the Glasgow areas anyway.

Everyone had a great night and for next years events, we will definitely consider doing this again with Funktion Events.

Just wanted to say thank you for organising the event for us – the ‘Pub Treasure Hunt’ was fantastic, we didn’t manage to get to the end as the weather was so bad, but we gave it our best shot and had lots of fun!

We will definitely be doing this again

Event went really well and the team all enjoyed the hunt round Reading! The teams really got into the challenges and some of the videos I have seen were hilarious! Including our apprentice playing Simba in a lion king reenactment!

Everything went really well, we had a very fun time.

The only issue we had, was a team of 4 but none of them were able to play. They all had the app on their phone and they could see some questions, but all 4 phones wouldn’t let them answer. There was no option to type etc.

However, all other teams had fun
