One ticket. One team. One map. Infinite potential for scandal.
Your ticket grants entry to this Pilot Event for a single team of lore-hunters. While there’s no official limit on team size, we recommend 2–4 players—you’ll be sharing one paper map and one phone, so unless you enjoy group squinting and philosophical debates about left vs. “your left,” keep it cozy.
The Deal: This is a Pilot Event. You are the first explorers to test our systems in the wild. Things might break. Clues might be fiendishly hard. You might have to actually talk to each other.
Date: Saturday 18th April 2026
Event starts: 9:00 AM
Location: Holmebrook Valley Park, Chesterfield
Duration: 2-3 hours
Access to the full trail and unfolding tale.
A beautifully printed map (yes, on actual paper).
App-based clues, twists, and questionable truths.
The chance to solve a mystery and win bragging rights.
The Post-Event Debrief: A chance to tell us what you really thought (and help set future prices).
A Smartphone: With internet access and a full battery (Non-negotiable).
Comfortable Shoes: It is a park. There will be weather.
A Teammate: Preferably one who can read upside down (Optional).
One Adult (18+): We don't make the rules. Actually, we do—but this one is real.
1. The Environment Please remember that this event takes place in the "Outside"—a high-resolution environment with realistic physics and zero safety rails.
Terrain: The ground is uneven, the mud is slippery, and tree roots are specifically designed to trip the arrogant. We are responsible for the digital clues; you are responsible for staying upright.
Gravity: If you climb a tree to find phone signal (all the QR are ground level, don't) and fall out of it, that is gravity, not a system error. The Institute cannot control the weather, the density of the mud, or the wetness of the water. Dress accordingly.
2. The In-App Safety Check (Mandatory) Buying a ticket is step one. Proving you are sensible is step two.
The "Pre-Flight" Quiz: Before the first clue unlocks on the day, the app will require you to complete a brief Safety Questionnaire. You must confirm that you are wearing appropriate footwear, that you understand the risks, and that you are not currently holding a pair of scissors while running.
No Tick, No Trail: If you do not complete this in-app check, the game will not start. We take safety seriously, even if we joke about everything else.
3. The Wildlife & The Locals Holmebrook Valley is a public ecosystem, not a closed movie set.
Animals: Do not feed the squirrels, do not antagonize the geese, and definitely do not attempt to scan a swan. They do not contain QR codes, and they have a very low tolerance for technology.
Humans: You will be sharing the park with dog walkers, cyclists, and people just trying to enjoy a quiet sandwich. Please be courteous. If a clue is near a bench occupied by a stranger, polite confusion is better than aggressive hovering.
4. The Technology vs. The Lake The app requires you to look at your phone. The park requires you to look where you are going.
Situational Awareness: Please alternate between these two states. Walking into the lake while staring at a screen is not a valid strategy.
Battery Life: Apps are power hungry. If your phone dies halfway through the mystery, you are no longer an elite lore-hunter; you are just a person standing in a field looking at a wooden post. Bring a power bank if your battery life is questionable.
5. Preservation of Secrets Our QR codes are attached to physical markers. Please treat them with respect.
Do Not Forage: Do not remove, peel, or re-hide the QR codes. If you take a code home as a souvenir, you ruin the game for everyone else, and we will be forced to send the "Director of Unscheduled Anomalies" to retrieve it.
6. The Liability: QRidian and The Institute of Advanced Wandering accept no liability for muddy trousers, lost arguments, damp socks, battery failure, or emotional distress caused by fiendishly difficult puzzles. By purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge that getting a bit lost is part of the fun, and that "I didn't see the puddle" is rarely a valid argument.
