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

Unlock Newquay’s secrets as you solve clues and outscore fellow explorers

A self-guided treasure hunt and tour app for Newquay that uses GPS to lead you to over 100 hidden destinations and challenges. You earn points by visiting locations, solving clues and completing challenges, then compete in the Travel League against other explorers across the UK. One ticket covers your whole group on a single device, and you can start anytime and cancel free up to 24 hours before.

The experience

Download the app, log in when you arrive in Newquay, and the GPS takes over. 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 town on foot or driving between spots as you choose. The app guides you to each location, and when you arrive you solve a puzzle, answer a quiz question or complete a task to earn points. There's no fixed route and no schedule. You move at whatever pace suits your group.

The treasure hunt and the Big Britain Quiz are the mechanics that keep you moving, but the real pull is the Travel League. Every point you earn climbs you higher on a nationwide leaderboard of explorers. Win prizes as the season progresses, or just chase the satisfaction of discovering places you'd never have found in a guidebook. The app nudges you off the beaten track into local secrets and unsung destinations, so you're not retracing the same tourist path everyone else walks.

One ticket unlocks the app on one device, but your whole family or group shares it: no need to buy separate passes. You can start whenever you arrive, cancel free up to 24 hours before if plans change, and take as long as you want. The app works whether you're hiking across countryside, walking around town or hopping between spots by car. Service animals are welcome, and the experience suits all fitness levels since you set the intensity yourself.

Can my family all use the same ticket, or do we each need to buy one?

Can I start the tour whenever I arrive, or are there set times?

What if my plans change and I need to cancel?
