Organising well means getting the information you need, and that's different for everyone

Checking availability, choosing the right game, grouping your players - let our experienced Events team help you make the right decision for your staff...

Events can be run for up to 300 people. Each team can have 2-6 players. Teams can work together, or compete for time.

Here are some top tips for large groups to get the best out of their game:

🗹 Prepare - check out the How it works page.

🗹 Put yourself, or a trusted colleague, down as the captain of Team 1. Only the Team 1 captain can begin the game, so you’ll be in control.

🗹 If you’re concerned about your teams overlapping, then you can stagger them. For groups with 6 or more teams we would strongly recommend doing this. After the Team 1 captain commences the game (by sending 'begin'), the first message each team receives allows them to go when ready (by sending 'go'). We recommend that you allow a few minutes between each team. The timer for each team starts when that team sends 'go'.

Do I have to play at a specific time of day?

The games involve locations with specific opening and closing times. The start time windows of each game ensure players can access these locations within the time it takes to complete the game.

Each game is designed with built-in breaks. If you want to play at a leisurely pace, or think you may go beyond the allocated break timing, then begin your game at least an hour before the latest start time to ensure that locations will be open.

How can I pay?

Our online payment system accepts most major debit/credit cards.

For 30 or more players we can also issue an invoice payable via Bacs.

All payments must be recevied before you play.

• Nurture collaboration. Over the course of your game, teams will encounter a variety of challenges requiring different skills and strengths. Teams that communicate effectively with each other and work well together will be rewarded by speedy progression on the game.

• Encourage dynamic leadership. Each team member enjoys a level playing field, as every player on a team can receive clues and send answers – so any player can be the one to unlock the next part of the puzzle.
