OutSmart® : Hi-tech treasure hunt event package on smartphone and tablet

What is an OutSmart® Hunt?

An interactive game of exploration, strategy, tactics, creativity and fun against the clock and other teams, using smartphones or tablets.

Where does it take place?

In over 60 great locations across 18 countries. See the list on the right.

Who can take part?

Any group of friends or colleagues, split into teams of up to 5 people each.

Which mobile devices are needed?

Our app works on iPhone and Android smartphones and on iPad and Android tablets with SIM cards. Devices can be hired from us or you can save money by using your own smartphones/tablets if you prefer.

This is the only treasure hunt on the market where you can have as many mobile devices per team as you want - and at no extra game charge - allowing team members to easily share information, interact and multi-task. What's more each team can have a mix of smartphones and tablets making using your own mobile devices an attractive option.

When can we do it?

Any day of the week, subject to availability. Start times are available from 9 a.m to 7 p.m. at half hour intervals and you can choose a 90 minute, 120 minute or 150 minute version - making it ideal for a morning, lunch time, afternoon or after work activity.

What's so good about OutSmart® Interactive Treasure Hunts?

• No more treasure hunting in isolation! Teams can see how opponents are doing and react accordingly - this is real-time treasure hunting with a twist.
• Choice of location and duration to suit most occasions.
• Use your own smartphones and/or tablets or hire from us.
• Any number and mix of suitable mobile devices allowed per team.
• No messing around with paper or text message clues. Get the missions, capture the answers and track your opponents - all from your mobile device.
• Not constrained to wi-fi hotspots - OutSmart® is a truly mobile and interactive event using 3G - enabling you to complete missions at specific locations and on the move.
• No set route - the OutSmart® format means missions can be done in any order your team chooses to maximise your points. Just keep an eye on those other teams...
• Our app prevents you from submitting photos or answers when time is up. No more disputes about the time and no more sneaky last minute answers. (Don't worry, there's still lots of opportunities for the über-competitive!).
• End wherever you want - retire to your office, a hotel or a favourite bar and await the final results!
• The advantages of an impartial facilitator but without the cost. The event is managed virtually (by a person, not a machine) - support is available throughout, photos are 'judged' independently and all the answer marking is carried out fairly on your behalf without the facilitator having to travel to be with you.
• Underpinned by the quality and creativity that make X Marks The Spot the market- leading treasure hunt specialist. It's the event everyone is talking about.
