Keep discovery close.
Discuss a route around the event setting when the programme leaves a smaller window. Permissions, access and opening times need checking.
Conferences
Give delegates something to talk about.
A shared puzzle can make it easier to start a conversation. Ask about a route around your venue or a hunt that introduces the host city.
An illustrative event sequence
A good conversation needs a starting point.
Start with the gap in your programme. Shape the route around it.
Leave the session
Bring small groups together at an agreed start, with joining instructions ready.
Follow a shared curiosity
Look for a detail, compare ideas and work out the next clue together.
Meet back with a story
Regroup at an agreed finish before the next part of your programme.
Illustrative clue
One detail. Several theories.
Look at the bird carved above the arch. What is it holding? Compare your ideas before you answer.
Reveal the idea
The group has a shared thing to investigate. A place-based prompt gives conversation somewhere to start, even when people have only just met.
An example of the approach, rather than a clue from a bookable hunt.
Make it your day

What to tell us
Send the venue, date, delegate count and available time. Include opening hours, access needs, themes and any proposed partner stops so they can be checked as part of the route.
What to agree with PuzzleDuck

Practical questions
A few things to check before you set off.
Does every player need a phone?
Phone requirements depend on the hunt format. The public hunt page or booking confirms whether each player needs the app. Anyone playing on a phone should bring it charged and have mobile data available.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Weather arrangements depend on the booking terms. Contact PuzzleDuck as early as possible to discuss rescheduling or other practical options.
How accessible are the hunts?
Public places can change because of roadworks, closures, or other local conditions. Share access requirements before booking so the proposed route and any known constraints can be checked and discussed.
Discuss a conference hunt
Tell us what you have in mind. Approximate numbers and dates are useful if the plans are still taking shape.
