Scavenger hunt: The Hunt For The Lost Jewel

Superfun smartphone scavenger hunt with map to follow and puzzles to solve on the go. Ruthless treasure hunters are trying to find the legendary lost jewel and professor Jones has asked for the childrens help to find it first! Set the scavenger hunt up anywhere you like – you decide where, when and how far!

Long ago, there was a famous jewel that the Maharaja of Bhundipur gave to his great love, the young, beautiful, poor girl Aditi. It is said that the jewel has magical powers and that whoever possesses it can bewitch all its surroundings. The jewel has been missing for hundreds of years but its legend lives on.

Your friend, the archaeologist Professor Jones, has been looking for the jewel his entire life. He wants to find it and display it in a museum so that all people can enjoy its beauty. Now, all his notes have been stolen – someone else is after the jewel for their own gain! The jewel must be found before these ruthless treasure hunters do. The professor is too old and frail to go off on this mission and he asks for help – it’s time to go on the hunt for the lost jewel!

The scavenger hunt can be solved by one group of children or by several teams competing against each other on time. The hunt for the lost jewel is suitable for children about 9-12 years old. The scavenger hunt has 11 map locations to find and 10 tricky riddles to answer in the hunt for the jewel!

This is how it works! 

When you order, you will receive an email with a link to a small organizer’s website. On this you post teams and decide where the teams should go. You can choose to send all your teams along the same track, or create up to five different routes. You create the routes by placing map pins for the various questions on a map of the area where you want to do the scavenger hunt. You decide when, where and how far!

One smartphone with internet connection is needed per team. Each phone also need to have our free app GrapevineGO installed.

On the organizer’s website a QR code per team is generated and the scavenger hunt is started by scanning each team’s QR code with the app. Then it all gets going and the time start running.

Participants see one map pin at a time, only when they have answered a question correctly do they see the next pin. If you answer a question incorrectly, you get a time penalty of 30 seconds before you get to try to answer the question again. However, the questions have multiple choice answers, so sooner or later the team can continue.

Since only the next pin is visible, you can, if you want, run a scavenger hunt with a secret final destination without revealing where it all ends. 

When all teams have reached the final destination, a result is calculated on your organizer’s website. In this scavenger hunt teams can compete for time and the winner is the team that gets the most correct answers in the shortest time.

On your organizer’s website, there are two test teams that you can use to test the event yourself before running it “for real”.

You choose the size of the product when you order. If you want between 1-5 teams in your event, you choose this option, if you want more teams, you choose 6-10 teams.
