How does it work? πππΈ
- You'll get a load of clues (15 of them), which you need to solve - each clue will lead you to a particular location in Surrey
- Simply take a photo of at least one team member plus your mascot at the location - no mascot, no points!
- After you've taken your "answer" photo, upload it here (after logging in), where you'll also be able to get hints (at a points cost) and check the leaderboard.
- Locations have been chosen to include some great spots for lunch and liquid breaks!
- Photos will be checked that you're in the right location and your mascot is in the photo... if all OK, you keep your points.
- Random points can also be added or deducted to your team's score at a whim, but mainly deducted for whining or loud shirts.
- There will be a surprise addition to the main menu at midday, which might help the less celebral teams.
What's the "Treasure"? π
- Your team name on the WCC Treasure Hunt Shield (to be kept at WCC)
- Bottle of bubbly for the winning team!!!
- A mention and team photo in the WCC newsletter (WOWZERS!)
- Medals for 1st, 2nd, 3rd... and last place too!! And they're collectibles, as they have the 2024 centenary year on them!!!
- But most importantly: Bragging rights
So round up your mates, pick a team name (click the REGISTER tab), fuel the car, grab a map of Surrey, pack the kids, bring along the dog and don't forget a Team Mascot π¦ for a day of adventure! Ideas for mascots:
- "Captain Cuddles" the teddy bear
- "Sir Flaps-a-lot" the inflatable flamingo
- "Shady McGnomeface" the sunglassed garden gnome

- GETTING STARTED
- Read the clues and try to figure out some locations before you drive off. Or don't. It's your call. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
- Read clues; solve clues; drive to locations; take photos. Simples. You're solving clues, not string theory's 11 dimensions (Ed: It's an idea for next year's though).
- What3Words β you might want to download the app. Just a suggestion.
- POINTS & SCORING
- There are 15 clues with a max loot of 235 points. Scores range from 10 (duh!) to 30 (aaargh!) points.
- You've plenty of time, but be back before 15:30 β lose 1 point per minute after that (excluding being under arrest β warrant required as proof).
- Late? Lose points. Very late? I'll assume you've eloped with your mascot.
- PHOTO RULES
- Take a photo of at least one team member plus mascot at each location. No mascot, no points.
- Upload your photo to this site before 15:30 or your photos purn into tumpkins. (If you know, you know.)
- Let your photos do the talking: allow location access when first uploading to ease verification.
- Upload, get points, then await the validation verdict: VALID or INVALID (the antici...pation!)
- All photos will be checked, so your score may change.
- Not happy with a pic? Delete and upload again.
- HINTS & HELP
- Need help? Click βHintsβ in the menu β each hint costs you 5 points. Clues have between 1-3 hints. There are 34 hints in total.
- Hints only become available 30 mins after the start β so from 11:30.
- Hints are public once requested β so check first, as a more useless team may have requested one already.
- I may release the odd free hint without notice. Emphasis on *may*.
- MISC
- Live flappy leaderboard (Γ‘ la old airport departures board) in the clubhouse during the hunt β for those who want a quieter Sunday lunchtime.
- Check out all photos in the club from 15:15 and online the next day.
- Bragging rights start at 16:00 β prize-giving time! Magnificent perpetual shield and bottle of bubbles for the winners, medals for the top 3 teams, and wooden spoon to
David Miller the losing team (but probably Miller β he has form... though lovely hair).
- Still need help? Call or WhatsApp - see below - don't take it personally if I ignore your pleas for free hints.
- DON'Ts (aka How to Not Get Arrested):
- No: Speeding, drink/driving, stealing or skinny-dipping.
- Keep it Clean: This isn't that kind of treasure hunt.
- DOs:
- Have fun! It's mandatory. You're being watched. No, really.
- BUT SERIOUSLY:
- If you have issues with photo uploads or logging into the website:
-
WhatsApp Niki (add your name to your message so I know who I'm talking to!)
- Remember, all decisions are final(ish). Now go forth and hunt!
