FAQ's Takeaway


  • Where does the Takeaway start and finish?

    The Wildgoose Takeaway is designed to be flexible so that you can start and finish the treasure hunt at a location to suit yourself. We would recommend a pub, bar or restaurant which is within the area covered by the treasure hunt.

  • What time does the Takeaway start?

    Due to the flexibility of the Wildgoose Takeaway, you can start your Treasure Hunt at a time to suit yourself! You’ll find it easier to complete in the daylight but feel free to do it at night although you might need a torch!

  • Does each team have the same clues?

    Each team has exactly the same clues. Our treasure hunts consist of six different coloured zones, each of which covers a different part of the location. These can be completed in any order; this is not a trail whereby each team must follow a set route, but rather each team is required to work out the best way of completing the hunt.

    No two teams ever plan their route in exactly the same way, thus ensuring that teams do not all complete the treasure hunt in the same order!

  • Is there any set up required?

    All of the clues are set-up for you so there is nothing for you to do on the day other than to read the instructions, send your text and get going!

  • Can the organiser be involved?

    Absolutely! The Takeaway is designed so that the scoring is done via the text messaging feature, and not via the organiser, meaning that everyone can take part! As with a board game, the organiser may need to read the rules to everyone and ensure that all participants are clear on what is happening but after that, they are free to take part.

  • Are prizes provided?

    We do not provide prizes as part of the standard Takeaway package but we can offer you medals for an additional charge. Alternatively, why not buy your own prizes for the winning team, and even some wooden spoons for the losers!

  • How long does the Takeaway take to complete?

    We recommend that you allow two - three hours for the actual Treasure Hunt, with timings dependant on how competitive and fit you are, and how well you plan your route! These timings are given on the basis that all individuals within each team stick together throughout the hunt.

    If the individuals within each team split up then you will complete the hunt in less than two hours so please ensure that all teams agree on the rules beforehand (this is explained in the ‘Rules & Procedures’ Handbook that goes out with your pack). 

    Conversely, you will probably spend more than three hours completing the hunt if you intend to have some refreshment stops along the way!

  • What will the text messaging feature cost me?

    The text messaging is free to use for UK phones in the UK! Roaming charges will apply from your network operator for non-UK phones in the UK or for UK phones abroad. Contact your network operator for further information.

  • How many team packs will I need?

    We recommend that you have no more than five people in a team so as to ensure maximum enjoyment and involvement. You should therefore purchase 1 Team Pack for each team that is going to take part.

  • When will I receive my Takeaway?

    Your Takeaway will be posted to you approximately two weeks prior to your event provided payment has been received. If you have a last minute booking then we can post Takeaways out by Royal Mail Special Delivery up to the day before your event.

  • How do I book a Takeaway?

    Contact the office on 0845 838 2402, e-mail info@huntthegoose.co.uk or complete an online enquiry and we can e-mail you a booking form to sign and fax back to us. We require payment at the time of booking, preferably by credit card. If this is a corporate booking, then payment can be made by VAT invoice if necessary. In all instances, a VAT receipt is supplied for your records, along with proof of payment.
