A great day out for teams who communicate well. (And a long one for those who don’t).


QRidian: An Interactive Scavenger Hunt Event in Chesterfield. (We put the "Quest" in "Questionable decision making".)
Officially, we operate under the name QRidian. Unofficially, we are The Institute of Advanced Wandering, running the only digital mystery event in Chesterfield that requires sturdy boots.
We are a network of lore hunters and puzzle solvers, quietly decoding the secrets your local council forgot to redact. Our pilot event at Holmebrook Valley Park isn't just a standard scavenger hunt—it is an expedition into forgotten folklore where you will:
Trace symbols through tangled trails.
Chart strategic routes (and argue about them).
Uncover the truth about the 1724 scandal. (Did the mayor duel a goose? We’re not saying yes, but we’re not saying no).
Using QR codes as digital camouflage, we hide these stories in plain sight. We offer a simple promise: there will be mystery, a test of logic, and a solid chance of getting lost in a hedge.
No membership card required. Just a smartphone and a pair of boots.

Environmental Policy: The Invisible Directive
The Institute operates on a 'Ghost-in-the-Woods' philosophy. Our gameboards are digitally layered and physically non-invasive; we utilize existing landmarks and temporary markers to ensure that the only trace of our presence is the satisfied curiosity of our participants. We leave the mud where we found it.
