The VQ Scavenger Hunt - Cork Heritage Open Day

A unique way of learning about the history and heritage of the VQ, the scavenger hunt is a fun, team-based event run live for Heritage Day!

About this Event

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 so they’re not just following each other around the same route.
• 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!

Practical Info:

• Duration: approx. 90 minutes to 2 hours
• Starting Point: Harley’s St., The VQ, Cork
• End Point: The final clue will take you there!
• Group size: Minimum 12 people (max 30 places)
