Scavenger Hunt in Poole: Nearly 120 Objects to Find

You compete on a live leaderboard while hunting objects across Poole's downtown.

A scavenger hunt in Poole where you use a smartphone app to find nearly 120 objects scattered across the downtown area over 2 hours, solving riddles and completing challenges for points. A remote guide texts you hints and encouragement throughout. You photograph each find to score points, track your rank on a live leaderboard, and compete against other teams playing the same day.

The experience

Nearly 120 objects spread across 13 categories are waiting in Poole's downtown, each worth different points depending on how hard it is to spot. You'll use an app on your own smartphone to see what you're hunting for, then wander the streets photographing each item you find. The riddles guide you to the right locations, and once you've got the shot, you upload it straight into the app to lock in your points. Challenges scattered throughout the city add bonus points if you're willing to take them on. Some are quick, others take a bit more effort.

A remote guide stays connected to you by text the whole time, ready with hints if you get stuck, encouragement to keep going, and real-time updates on how you're ranking against the other teams hunting the same day. You'll see the leaderboard update as you score, so you know exactly where you stand. The 2-hour window is tight enough to keep the energy up but long enough to explore a good stretch of the city and chase down the trickier finds.
