What is the aim of the game?
Simple – to have fun and get to know your team mebers better.
You also need to earn as many points as possible by completing a range of challenges, questions and fun photo and video challenges! Once you’ve joined the game unlock the challenge hotspots shown on the map to reveal the tasks. The more you do, and the more you get correct, the more points you’ll receive!

How do I load the game onto my device?
Simply download the Mobile Adventures app onto your device. You’ll then be prompted for an access code which will be shared with you by your Event Manager at the start of your activity via video call.
How much mobile data will the game use?
This will vary but the app will generally use between 5-10 MB to load your game depending on your chosen activity. During play, your device will use about 25-50MB of data during the normal course of play.
What happens if my phone runs out of battery?
Whilst most devices will easily last a full game, we strongly recommend that you fully charge your phone before you go out to play. Reduce the screen brightness to save on power too. If your battery is getting low then the app will warn you and if needed you can swap to another device by using the rejoin game pin.
To do this simply load the game on another device, tap the grey cog on the top right-hand corner of the selfie screen and type in your team re-join pin. Enter the game and it will pick up where you left off on the new device – the old device will then be deactivated.
How far will we walk?
Most GPS events involve around 2–4 km of walking, but this varies depending on the venue, the activity and the route your team chooses.
Where do we start?
Your organiser can decide where the group starts and finishes. Make sure to tell everyone where the finish location will be and by what time. If you chose to have an on-screen host, make sure to check / test the AV.
What should we wear?
Dress for comfort and for the weather!
Do all teams complete the same route?
No – the game can be completed in any order and teams make their own decision about which ‘hotspots’ to visit and in which order they complete the tasks.
Who do I contact if I have questions on the day?
During the game you can message the Remote Host or Game Master in-app. Alternativly reach out to your event organizer.
What happens if it rains?
Reach out to your event organizer – our outdoor GPS challenges are covered by our *wet weather back-up
