Orienteering games for camps and youth groups

Create the big camp game, a night orienteering run or a getting-to-know-you route. Leaders see each team’s progress while participants stay active and work together.

One game for the whole session

The game can be split across days: new checkpoints open each day, and teams collect points for the whole camp. In team mode, each member can have their own role and clue.

Signal often drops in the forest, so answers are saved on the phone and sent once the connection returns. GPS checks help confirm the team really reached the checkpoint.

Works in the forest too

Answers are not lost without signal, and laminated QR codes survive the weather.

Roles and teamwork

Each team member gets their part of the information, so the task can only be solved together.

An overview for leaders

The map and results show where teams are and how many points they have.

Frequently asked questions

What if there is no signal in the forest?

Can the game run over several days?

Yes. You can set several days and times for an event, and the results add up.

Do participants need an e-mail address?

No. The organiser can register teams on site and hand out a username and code.
