How does the Race Pack work?

The following locations are available for racing (London Westminster, The City of London and Edinburgh). At each of these locations there are two routes starting at the same point and finishing at the same treasure. They are of equal distance so it is possible to team up and race, some of them overlap so you may bump into each other!

I'm confused on how many to buy for a Race Pack...

If you purchase for two people you will have 1 v 1, if you purchase for 3 you will have 1 v 2, if you purchase for 4 you will have 2 v 2 etc..

How does the pub discount work?

Important T&C's of pub discount - the discounts offered at each pub range from 10% - 20% and is subject to either being applied on food or drink or only when food is purchased. This will be stated on your treasure hunt - if it says 'food and drink' this means discount is applied only when buying food but if it says 'food or drink' this means discount can be obtained on just drinks. For clarification please check before ordering or get in contact with us. COVID-19 - due to loss of earnings some pubs are not offering discount for the time being, sorry for any inconvenience caused.
