Yes — we occasionally run free hunts. However, most hunts cost £2.50 to enter. As the community grows, the prize money on offer will increase.
Simply click the prominent “Enter Now – £2.50” button, complete payment, and submit your answer before the advertised closing time.
All fully correct answers are entered into a random prize draw. The winner is drawn live from the pool of correct entries using https://wheelofnames.com/
We craft every hunt to be solvable, and we aim to crown a winner each time. If no fully correct entry is received by closing time, the prize may roll over to the next hunt or be awarded to the closest correct answer at our discretion.
Winners are announced publicly (anonymized) within 24–72 hours of closing. Prizes are paid via PayPal within the same timeframe. We share proof of payment (screenshots) to show everything is transparent and real.
No — hunts are open to everyone aged 18+ only (due to prize payment and legal simplicity). International entries are welcome.
Yes. You must correctly solve the cryptic clues using knowledge, research, and deduction (skill). Only correct answers qualify for the final random draw. This structure keeps it a legitimate prize competition under UK law.
Paid hunts will cost £2.50 to enter. As we grow and more sleuths join in, we plan to offer much bigger prize pools — main prizes ranging from £50 up to £500+, plus runner-up prizes of around £50 (or more, depending on the hunt scale).
All 3 clues are published at the same time on this website and our Facebook page.
Yes, you can enter at any time before the advertised closing time.
We hope to introduce runner-up prizes as the number of entries grows.
You can contact us via Facebook message or email. However, we do not provide hints during the hunt. We encourage everyone to solve the clues themselves!
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing.
We share minimal data only when necessary:
With PayPal (for prize payments to winners only)
Submissions close at the advertised time. We then check all entries, run the prize draw (if there are correct answers), announce the winner, and post proof of payment. The next hunt is usually announced shortly after.
