Sorry but the 2022 event has already happened! It was great fun and thanks to all who attended; also congratulations to the two winning teams!
If you would still like to take part in your own time (but unfortunately without the amazing home-baked cakes as a reward for reaching the end, sorry about that…) it’s not too late. You can simply email us at the address below (in the Preparation section) and we’ll get back to you with a pdf of the participant pack, including answers so you can mark your own. The donation amount for the pack is your choice, payable by BACS if possible to avoid fees. Also, if you took part in the event and just want to see the answers please let us know at the same email address.
It makes a fun day out for the family and it’s a good chance to get outside and walk around. If you do try it, let us know how you got on.

Registration
Pre-registration for the event has now closed but we are very happy for you to come along to the Parish Hall from 13:15 onwards and we can get your team registered there.
Preparation
You, or someone in your team, will need to have the What3Words app installed on a suitable mobile device during the event. It’s worth checking this app beforehand to ensure you know how it works and to check that it works well on your phone. Some phones do not have the correct compass sensor for the navigation feature to work but all phones with GPS should be able to display your current location on the map.
Also you, or someone in your team, will need to be logged in with a Google account when completing the registration form and when submitting answers on the day of the hunt. This is because:
- we need to ensure we can contact you on a valid email address in case of any questions about your entry or payment details;
- on the day, the responses for the What3words Scavenger Hunt will be collected and scored using a Google Quiz Form, which also requires a valid Google account.
If you don’t already have a Google account, it’s quick and free to sign-up for one here: https://accounts.google.com/signup
Most people will already have one that they use with their phone or email. If you have any problems using a Google account to register for the hunt, or questions arising from the registration form, please contact us by email on:
h u n t at launton.org
(remove all spaces and replace “at” with the @ symbol).
Responses
The form you need to use to submit your responses to the Question and Answer sheet is now closed.
