BOOKING OUR GAMES

When are your games open and available to book?2022-05-05T08:33:31+00:00

We are launching from 27th May 2022 – games will be available to be played from that date and additional games and experiences will be added throughout the year.

How does the booking process work?2022-05-05T08:31:37+00:00

Simple!   Just go to adventureout.co.uk/shop and choose the AdventureOut Game – complete the process and pay by credit/debit card.  We will send you a one-time access code by email which will give you access to the app whenever you wish to play a game.

Alternatively, buy a scratchcard from one of the local retailers and use the one-time code in the same way.

To download the app, visit the App store or Google Play and search AdventureOut!

Can we turn up and play?2022-05-05T08:26:27+00:00

As soon as you buy a one-time code you can play – so if you are on site and fancy playing one of our games, just go to adventureout.co.uk/shop and buy the game then and there.  You will receive the code automatically straight after your purchase, and you are then good to play.

Later this year purchases will be available directly from the app.

What is the minimum/maximum group size?2022-05-05T08:22:33+00:00

Minimum is one person.  Maximum is as many people you want to have (although for large groups you could consider splitting into two groups, buying 2 games and make a competition of it!).  Ultimately, it is completely up to you.

Do children have to be accompanied?2022-05-04T15:55:25+00:00

We ask that all children aged twelve and below to be accompanied at all times by an adult aged 18 and over whilst playing the games. Children older than this are perfectly capable of playing the games unaided although you will need to take care to ensure the safety of young people at each venue.  None of our games include any dangerous requirements but some puzzles are in isolated areas including woods and gardens.

How accessible are the games for disabled people?2022-05-04T15:52:41+00:00

This varies considerably as it depends on the location of the game and the any local restrictions that stop people taking part.  It is likely that some games that are initially not accessible will change or have accessible alternatives over time and we will ensure the website is updated regularly.  For museum adventures, please check the accessibility of the venue before you travel.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?2022-05-04T15:49:42+00:00

We offer a no-quibble guarantee for all of our games if they have been played and for any reason, have not reached expectations.  We will just ask you to complete a short form to give us input into why you were dissatisfied to help us learn and improve.  Refunds are not offered for games that have not been played at one of our locations.

I enjoyed the game – are all other games the same?2022-05-04T15:43:00+00:00

No!  Each game is different.  Themes vary and puzzles are based on local features so will always be different.  There will be some similarity in the way some puzzles work but we do throw in twists to keep everyone on their toes.

How do I buy a game?2022-05-04T16:10:38+00:00

Very simply!  Just click any of the BUY NOW buttons throughout the website and buy one of the AdventureOut! Game Tokens.  When payment has been successful, we will send you a confirmation email that will include a unique one-time code for use on the app.  Please keep this code safe.

When you wish to play a game, download the AdventureOut! App, and use the one-time code to access the game.  Once the game has started, the one-time code will no longer allow access to any other games.

We also sell scratch cards that have a one-time code included, either by post from the website or from local vendors who sell our games at their premises.  Details of vendors will be available from each location page and include any discounts they offer for AdventureOut! Game Players.

DESERT ESCAPE ROOM

Can we play with other groups?2022-05-04T15:40:42+00:00

One game will work on one mobile phone but the group playing can be any size.  If you want to have a race or make it a challenge, then simply buy another one-time code for £8.99 and the game can be started at the same time without having to stay together.  As always, we are as flexible as we can be.

How long does the adventure game take to play?2022-05-04T15:37:39+00:00

That is up to you.  All of our games are expected to last for around 90 minutes, although this will vary group to group.  And, of course, it will be longer if you use the pause button to take a break,  But each game also has an extend button, which is a optional 30 extra minutes of clues which you can choose to add only if the family are up for it!

Can I get help during the game?2022-05-04T15:30:19+00:00

The app has been designed to give you all the help you need, although it comes at a price!  The first available hint should get you on the way to solving the puzzle, but will add 2 minutes onto your time.  The second hint will give you much more information but will cost you 5 minutes.  And, if you are really stuck, you can spend 10 minutes and reset yourself to the next puzzle.  It is certainly possible to not use any hints during a game, but the fact they are there gives you peace of mind when you play the games.

What should we wear?2022-05-04T15:14:13+00:00

Light, comfortable clothing and suitable footwear with treaded soles is usually best although wet weather gear will be useful in adverse weather conditions. We don’t want to see anyone have accidents so it is important that you take the time to make sure you will be safe.  AdventureOut Ltd take no responsibility for accidents during our games, howsoever caused.

What happens if we are late?2022-05-04T15:11:59+00:00

Late?  Late?  You cannot be late!  You start the game when you are ready.  There may be some local time restrictions – eg the closure of a castle or access to gardens, but these will be indicated in the game description and travel details.

Are there coronavirus restrictions?2022-05-04T15:10:31+00:00

Most of our games are outside or are in a single car, so the risk of any transmission is tiny.  For our museum adventures, please check with the local venue to ensure that you are aware of any local rules and requirements before you travel.

What happens after the game?2022-05-04T15:07:58+00:00

When you have solved the final puzzle, you will be able to take a selfie to show how clever you all are!  This selfie will be added automatically to the certificate showing your (fast) time.  The certificate can be shared by email, but also WhatsApp, messaging and onto social media.  When sent by, the image cam also be printed to hang proudly on the fridge. Finally, we will ask you to give us a review so we can understand how much you enjoyed the game and to get ideas on how we can keep improving.  Then you are free to enjoy the surroundings or have a well-earned sit down!

How do we find the starting point at each game?2022-05-04T14:59:30+00:00

Consult the website for details of where the starting point is, where to park and any other travel and local advice.  The details are also in the instructions for each game which can be accessed before pressing the start button to play.

How do I recommend friends and family?2022-05-04T16:19:50+00:00

Just share your score via the app!  You can share the time you took and challenge others to try and beat you!

QUESTIONS WHILE YOU ARE ON-SITE

Where should we park?2022-05-04T15:03:00+00:00

Parking instructions will be given as part of each game, both on the website and the app. If you cannot park in the suggest location, look for other parking nearby.  As the game only starts when you are ready, you can take your time.

Are there on-site toilet facilities at game sites?2022-05-04T14:57:16+00:00

Most sites will have public toilets nearby, as the games are set in towns and parks and museums,  There is no guarantee that they will be open, so it is advisable to check before you arrive.

Can we bring some sort of temporary shelter to the games e.g. a gazebo?2022-05-04T14:53:21+00:00

Consult local guides for permissions before you make plans.

Will the weather affect the games?2022-05-04T14:51:10+00:00

Road Adventure & Museum Adventure can be played anytime.  Adverse weather can affect Town and Park Adventures, although as long as the mobile phone is waterproof, a deluge could give a new challenge and we look forward to seeing some soaking selfies.  We do not recommend playing games in thunderstorms or high winds.  The good news is that none of the games are timebound, so if the weather is rotten, then there will always be another day.

Can we purchase food and drink nearby?2022-05-04T14:47:05+00:00

While AdventureOut! does not provide food and drink, all games are near cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops.   To make life easy, we have added a pause button in the game which enables you to stop the clock once, giving an opportunity to find food & drink, or just have a break, without impacting the game!

Can I bring my dog with me when we play a game?2022-05-04T14:43:24+00:00

Dogs would enjoy the walk!  For parks and museums, check the local rules before you travel.

What ages do the games suit?2022-05-04T15:46:06+00:00

The games are aimed at families with children aged 7 to 12, and for groups of young people who want something different to do.  That is not to say that a group of adults won’t enjoy the challenge but they might find the puzzles on the easier side.

We are also able to organise games for youth groups and schools.  Contact is at customer@adventureout.co.uk and we will be happy to discuss requirements.

When do games expire?2022-05-04T16:12:57+00:00

They don’t!   There are never any expiry dates so you can play the games whenever and wherever you want.

Can I work for AdventureOut!?2022-05-04T16:16:24+00:00
