Blackpool Hidden Gems Game: Self-Guided GPS Tour

Hunt hidden gems and climb the Travel League on your own schedule

A self-guided GPS activity in Blackpool where you use a smartphone app to visit hidden destinations, solve treasure hunt clues and compete in the nationwide Travel League. You explore at your own pace with flexible start times and free cancellation. One ticket covers your whole group on a single device.

The Experience

You download the Loquiz app, log in when you arrive in Blackpool, and the map fills with hundreds of pins marking hidden gems and must-see destinations across the area. From there, you choose which ones to visit. As you travel (by car, on foot around town, or on longer walks), the GPS guides you to each location. At each stop, you solve a clue or complete a challenge to earn points. The more you visit, the more you climb the nationwide Travel League, and each season brings prizes for the top explorers.

The activity runs for four hours, but you set when that window starts and stops within your day. Friends and family share one ticket across a single device, so a group of five books once and explores together. There's no fixed route and no guide narration. You pick the pace, the order and which destinations matter to you. The app nudges you toward places you'd likely miss on your own, but the decision to go there stays yours.

You'll need a smartphone with the app installed and a data connection as you move around Blackpool. The activity suits all ages and fitness levels, and you can pause, restart or cancel at any point. Public transport runs nearby if you want to cover ground faster, or you can walk the whole thing. The stress of planning a route vanishes because the app handles the navigation. What you keep is the freedom to explore exactly as you want.

Is this one for you?The four-hour window is flexible (you start and stop when you choose), so it fits easily into a morning or afternoon alongside other plans in Blackpool. If you want a fixed itinerary with a guide leading the group, this independent GPS hunt is not the format for you.

Top questions

How does the Travel League work and what do I actually win?

The Travel League is a nationwide competition where your points from visiting destinations and solving clues place you on a leaderboard against other explorers. Each season, the top explorers win prizes. The app tracks your rank in real time as you accumulate points.

Can my family all use one ticket, or does each person need their own?

One ticket covers your entire group on a single device, so a family of five or a group of friends books once and explores together using the same phone or tablet.

What happens if I don't finish all the destinations in four hours?

The four-hour pass is a day pass with anytime access, meaning you can start and stop whenever you choose within that day. You're not locked into a fixed schedule, so if you run out of time, you simply pause and pick up later.

Do I need to visit every destination on the map, or can I choose which ones to go to?

You choose which destinations to visit. Hundreds of map pins appear on your screen, and you decide which hidden gems and challenges interest you. The app guides you to whichever ones you select.

What if I cancel or decide not to use the pass?

Cancellation is free, so you can cancel anytime before or during your day pass with no penalty.
