Outing Highlights

THE GAME

A hybrid treasure hunt and escape experience

Magic Portal layers traditional puzzle-solving onto an outdoor treasure hunt: teams follow clues, solve live-game puzzles and collect crystals as they progress through an imaginative narrative driven by goblins and a ticking clock.

THE TECH

GPS geocaching, gadgets and augmented reality

The experience integrates GPS-based geocaching with cool gadgets and AR elements, using technology to guide teams between puzzle points and to unlock parts of the story-world as they collect crystals.

THE SETTING

Outdoor, enchanted places turned into game terrain

Set outdoors in and around Llanidloes, the game uses local places as its stage—participants move across open-air locations to piece together the clues that will save the world.
