FAQ's

Is Sofa Sleuths free to enter?

Yes — every pilot hunt is 100% free (no payment required). For future paid hunts, we offer a low-cost paid entry option (£2.50–£3) with instant clue access, but a free entry route will always be available where required. No purchase is necessary to take part.

How do I enter a hunt?

For free hunts: Email [email protected] with your name, email, and guess (subject line: "Free Entry – [Hunt Name]"). For paid hunts: Pay via the secure PayPal button and submit your guess. Full instructions are on the Enter Hunt page.

When do clues get sent?

Clues are delivered instantly (within minutes) after entry via email and/or our private Facebook group. You’ll get the full set to solve at your own pace.

How is the winner chosen?

The first person to correctly name the exact hidden location (with any required proof, like a description or screenshot) wins. Judging is based on accuracy and timestamp — fully skill-based, no random chance involved.

What happens if nobody gets it right?

We craft every hunt to be solvable, and we aim to crown a winner each time. If no fully correct entry is received by closing time, the prize may roll over to the next hunt or be awarded to the closest correct answer at our discretion.

How and when do winners get paid?

Winners are announced publicly (anonymized) within 24–72 hours of closing. Prizes are paid via PayPal within the same timeframe. We share proof of payment (screenshots) to show everything is transparent and real.

Do I need to live in the UK to enter?

Yes — hunts are open to UK residents aged 18+ only (due to prize payment and legal simplicity). International entries are not eligible at this time.

Are the hunts really skill-based (not gambling)?

Yes — success depends on your ability to decode cryptic clues using knowledge, research, and deduction. There is no element of chance. This makes them genuine skill competitions under UK law (no Gambling Commission licence required).
