Choosing the theme, route and tone
Run through the five steps with the group in mind. Spy mission and wild west give a stag day an excuse for costume; mystery and carnival night suit a hen weekend. The custom theme is where you describe the bride or groom’s particular obsession and let the scenario build on it.
Location decides the character of the day. The city option — where you type the city name and a radius in km — produces a bar-crawl shape with tasks between stops; the indoor setting keeps everyone in a rented flat, which is easier late at night. Set the audience to party, and keep the difficulty easy or medium so tasks stay solvable after the second round.
- Theme: spy mission, wild west, mystery or carnival night for a night out
- Location: the city option for a crawl, or indoors in a rented flat for the after-party half
- Audience: party, so the wording matches a night out rather than a family afternoon
- Difficulty: easy to medium — nobody solves a hard cipher at eleven at night
- Task types: observation, a trivia quiz about the bride or groom, physical and creative tasks
Task ideas for a hen or stag day
The bride or groom is the material. A trivia round on their worst haircut, their first job and the story everyone tells about them will beat any generic dare, and the inspirations step is where you supply the details for the model to build clues around.
Alternate thinking and doing. Two riddles in a row lose the group; a riddle, then something to photograph, then a challenge involving a stranger keeps the pace. Ten to twelve tasks across an afternoon and evening is a comfortable count, spread between the stops on your route.
- A trivia card of five questions about the bride, where wrong answers cost a forfeit
- A cipher naming the next bar, handed over only once the current task is done
- An observation task: find a shop sign containing the groom’s surname
- A creative challenge — invent and perform a thirty-second toast in the style of a film
- A spy-mission task to photograph a landmark without anyone in the group facing the camera
- A final envelope at the last venue holding the group photograph brief and a note from the couple
Keeping a big group together
Groups over eight drift, so split into two teams and set them the same tasks in a different order. That avoids twelve people crowding one clue and gives you a natural competition, with the losing team buying the first round at the final stop.
Print two card sets and keep the host notes with the organiser, not the guest of honour. Cards in a pocket survive a night out better than a phone screen in the rain, and because the tasks are numbered you can drop the last two if the group would rather stay put.
How it works
- Choose a theme, then indoor or outdoor location.
- Set the audience, difficulty and how many tasks you want.
- Generate the scenario, tasks and host answers, and read the free preview.
- Pay once, then print the tasks or read the clues aloud.
