Dorset Self-Guided Tour App: Hidden Gems & Treasure Hunt

Hunt for hidden Dorset with GPS clues and earn points as you go

A self-guided tour app for Dorset that uses GPS technology to lead you to over 100 destinations and hidden gems, with treasure hunt clues and challenges you solve along the way to earn points and compete in a nationwide travel league. The 7-day pass covers your entire group on one device. You start whenever you arrive and cancel free up to 24 hours before. Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, whether you explore by car, on foot or hiking.

The experience

Download the Loquiz app and log in when you reach Dorset to see hundreds of map pins marking destinations, challenges and clues across the region. You navigate independently using GPS to guide you, visiting whichever sites appeal to you and solving the treasure hunt clues at each one to earn points. The app nudges you off the beaten track toward places you'd likely miss on your own: local secrets and unsung destinations mixed in with the better-known stops. There's no fixed itinerary and no guide narration. You move at your own speed, whether that's a quick afternoon loop or a full day of exploring.

As you visit destinations and complete challenges, you climb the Travel League rankings against other explorers across the UK. Each season brings new prizes for the top climbers, turning the exploration into a friendly competition if you want it to be. Friends and family travel together on one ticket per device, so a group of five books one pass and shares the phone between them. The flexibility runs deep: you can start any time that suits your day, pause and resume whenever, and cancel the whole thing free if plans change up to 24 hours before your visit.

The app works whether you're driving between stops, walking around a town centre or hiking across countryside. All ages can play: the mix of destinations and challenge types means there's something for young children, teenagers and adults in the same group. You handle the navigation and the decision-making. The app handles the route-finding and the point-tracking.

Top questions

How does the GPS app actually guide me around Dorset?

The app displays map pins for all available destinations and challenges in your area. You tap one to navigate to it using GPS, which guides you turn-by-turn like a standard maps app. Once you arrive, you solve the clue or challenge at that location to earn points and unlock the next one.

Can my whole family use one ticket, or do we each need our own?

One 7-day pass covers your entire group as long as you share a single device. You can pass the phone between family members as you explore, so a family of four or five books just one ticket.

What happens if I don't finish all the destinations in 7 days?

The 7-day pass is your access window to the app and the challenges. You can explore as many or as few of the over 100 destinations as you want during that week. There's no requirement to complete them all, and you set your own pace.

Can I really cancel for free if my plans change?

Yes, you can cancel free up to 24 hours before your visit. After that point, the cancellation is no longer free, so check your booking date before the window closes.

Is this suitable for young children or people who aren't very fit?

The app is designed for all ages and all fitness levels. You choose which destinations to visit and how far to travel between them, so you can pick a gentle afternoon of nearby stops or a more ambitious day of exploration. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.
