You tap 'start' and Reading's streets become a map of survival: shopfronts, public squares and riverside paths turn into checkpoints where scavenged items and quick challenges score points for your team.
The game threads through the town centre near the River Kennet and the broader Thames Valley — territory shaped by soft river clays and centuries of trade. Reading Abbey, founded in 1121, looms in the background of the route as a reminder that this compact city carries layers of medieval history, Victorian industry and contemporary student culture.
As a city-based scavenger hunt, the experience blends low-intensity walking with puzzle-solving. Expect paved sidewalks, pedestrianised streets and occasional narrow alleyways; total distance typically sits around 2–4 km depending on your route, with minimal elevation. You’ll use an app to find “survival” items and complete themed challenges, while a remote host monitors progress via chat and can step in if you need help.
Practical notes: the tour runs about 60 minutes, is stroller- and dog-friendly (service animals only), and requires only basic mobility. Bring a fully charged phone, comfortable shoes, and a small amount of cash for coffee or incidental purchases. Play during daylight for easier navigation and to appreciate landmarks like Forbury Gardens and the Abbey ruins. Respect private property, follow local footpaths, and be mindful of busy streets during market hours.
This hunt is a playful, social way to explore Reading — suited to friend groups, families and visitors who want an active, guided-but-independent taste of the city.
