Leicester Tour App: Hidden Gems Game and Big Britain Quiz

Hunt for hidden gems across Leicester while competing for points on a nationwide leaderboard

A self-guided GPS treasure hunt and quiz game in Leicester where you explore hidden gems, solve clues and complete challenges using a smartphone app. One ticket covers your whole group or family on one device, with flexible start times and full-day access. You earn points for each destination visited and climb the Travel League rankings. The app nudges you off the beaten track to places you'd miss alone.

The Experience

Leicester's hidden gems are scattered across the city and countryside, and this app-based hunt uses GPS to guide you to them. When you arrive, log into the Loquiz app and hundreds of map pins appear on your screen: each one a destination, a clue or a challenge. You pick which ones to visit and in what order, moving through the city on foot, by car or however suits your group. Friends and family share one ticket on a single device, so a family of four books once and explores together.

Points come from visiting destinations, solving treasure hunt clues and answering the Big Britain Quiz questions along the way. The more you explore, the more points you earn, and those points push you up the Travel League: a nationwide ranking where you compete with other explorers across the UK. Each season brings new prizes for the highest climbers. The app handles all the navigation and the logic. You just move through Leicester and decide what to tackle next.

The four-hour window is a suggestion, not a limit. You get full-day access, so you can start whenever you want and pause to grab lunch or wander into a shop without losing your place. Cancellation is free, and the app works whether you're hiking countryside trails or walking around town. Service animals are welcome, and strollers work fine for families with small children.

Top questions

How does the app guide me to the hidden gems in Leicester?

The Loquiz app displays map pins for hundreds of destinations on your smartphone screen, and GPS technology guides you to each one as you choose which to visit. You navigate independently at your own pace. The app shows you where to go but you decide the route and the order.

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

One ticket covers your entire group or family as long as you explore on a single device. Friends and family share the app on one phone and earn points together, so a family of five books one ticket and plays as one team.

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

Four hours is a typical duration, but you get full-day access with your ticket, so you can start anytime and explore at your own pace. There's no pressure to complete everything. You pick which destinations and challenges to attempt and move through them whenever it suits your day.

Do I need to be fit or experienced to use this app and explore Leicester?

The app is suitable for all physical fitness levels. You choose how far to walk, whether to drive between destinations, and which challenges to attempt, so you can tailor the experience to what works for your group.

What is the Big Britain Quiz, and how does it work?

The Big Britain Quiz is part of the app's challenge system. As you visit destinations and explore, you answer quiz questions to earn additional points toward the Travel League rankings. The quiz is built into the app and appears as you move through Leicester.
