The VQ Scavenger Hunt - Cork Heritage Open Day

An entertaining way to get to know the history and heritage of the VQ, the scavenger hunt is a fun, team-based event run live through WhatsApp, taking participants on a clue-solving adventure of discovery around The VQ.

How it Works:

- The group is split into teams (usually 3–4 people per team).
- Each team receives a unique set of clues.
- The scavenger hunt is fully managed in real time on WhatsApp. Each team is added to their own WhatsApp group, where they receive their clues.
- A few shared clues are included to keep energy up and add a bit of friendly competition.
- The clues lead teams to a mix of well-known landmarks, hidden corners, and quirky points of interest in The VQ.
- There are some task-based clues, such as speaking Irish or visiting a specific shop or bar.
- Local knowledge helps, but the use of Google and Google Maps is allowed.
- Fastest team wins!
