    Please take this into consideration when deciding whether to attend an event.

  • The safety of our event goers is at the forefront of our plans, and we have taken the following measures to ensure COVID-19 safety across our events.

    The number of tickets available for each event is limited, reducing the number of people at any one event.

    Teams will have different starting locations so as to avoid congestion.

    The game is completely self guided, so you can avoid other teams by taking an individual route - and we have extended the playing time window so teams will be participating at different times during the day.

    If you are experiencing Coronavirus symptoms, please do not attempt to play and contact our customer service team to exchange your ticket.
