Anyone!

There is something for everyone – families, friends, work colleagues – the day will be suitable for all.

There will be a range of fun questions, challenges, puzzles, things to find and photo/video challenges to complete on the day that are suitable for all ages.

Teams can be made up of up to 6 players (over 10 years old).  Under 10s can tag along with teams as extras for free!

At least one adult should accompany teams if any members are under 16 years of age.

Registering a team is simple!

Simply make up a team of up to 6 people, register here, pay your entry fee and we'll reserve you a space! All the details you'll need for the day will be sent to you once you have registered your team.

We will have trophies and prizes for the winning teams plus a few giveaways on the day too for those teams who excel and really get into the spirit of the day!

Everyone who takes part will also receive a special 'Great St. Albans Challenge' medal too!

All you'll need to take part is a fully charged mobile phone (iOS or Android). – or a portable charger if you have one! We'll provide all the details and instructions you need ahead of the day.

Plus, of course a sense of fun! If you’d like to dress up there will be a prize for the best dressed team!

The treasure hunt is a walking based event around the central area of St. Albans.  

You can do as much or as little as you want to but if you do everything, it'll probably be a stroll of  about 2-3 miles all around the centre of St. Albans.

The event starts at 1pm and you can rock up and start the treasure hunt anytime between 1 and 2pm.

On the day simply pop down to the cathedral, check in with our events team and then you can get going.

The treasure hunt will take you approx 2.5 hours so there'll be plenty of time to stop for a coffee and lunch before heading to The Alban Arena for the grand finale, results and presentations!

The final results will be announced at a special presentation (with some surprises too!) at 4.30pm in The Alban Arena so make sure you are back there in time to see how you did and claim your crown (if you win of course!) and collect your participants medals too.

No problem – ideally teams are up to 6 people. That could be a mix of family, friends or work colleagues. 

Youngsters under 10 can simply tag along for free as part of the team on the day.

However if there are just two of you in your team it’s still possible to enter, but some of the challenges might be more difficult.

Once you register your team you will be sent all the details. 

It's a points-based game, not a race against the clock, so you can enjoy the game at your own pace. Take your time to enjoy the city stop for a cuppa and then join us back at the cathedral for a grand finale (and a few surprises too).  

The game will have a rolling start between 1 and 2pm and once you start you will have 2.5 hours to complete the treasure hunt at your leisure.

There will be a fun-packed wrap up presentation (with a few surprises too!) at The Alban Arena at 4:30pm where the winners will be announced and you can collect your participant medals too.

The event and final presentation will be finished by 5.30pm.

Rain or shine we'll be going ahead so just bring a brolly and a waterproof! :-) 

We'll also have some challenges in the game that can be completed indoors too so we've got all bases covered!

The treasure hunt last two and a half hours. 

It's not a race and you'll just need to complete as many challenges as you can to earn as many points as possible.

You'll have time to stop for a drink and sandwich if you want to as well!
