Host a Find Dank Treasure Hunt
Turn your place into a checkpoint.

An experience people can take part in
A Find Dank activation gives visitors an agreed route, a clue or a reason to explore. Shops, clubs and event venues can host a hunt or checkpoint; brands can contribute vouchers, prizes or experiences.
Find Dank generally does not charge participating businesses for community activations. Contributions, venue responsibilities and the format are discussed per activation. Retail releases on the site have separate commercial terms.
Choose the right activation format
First-find hunt: publish a clue and a clear search boundary. Explain what counts as finding the prize, how a winner claims it and how the hunt will be closed once claimed. A small venue can use one agreed checkpoint without promising a wider trail.
Hidden-ticket collection: explain whether the winner is determined by a count or another published method, where tickets must be turned in, the deadline and tie handling. Find Dank’s Puff & Putt activity record describes a hidden-ticket activation; upcoming Soweto materials use a ticket turn-in format.
Checkpoint trail: use participating places as stops with clear opening times and a stated completion method. Agree the route with each venue before publishing it. A proposed route should not be advertised as a confirmed partner network.
Define the hunt before it opens
Agree the search area, date, start and closing times, participation conditions, prize description, sponsor attribution and claim method. A ticket-collection hunt needs a count and turn-in process; a first-find hunt needs a clear prize-claim process.
Venue permission, staffing and safe access need to fit the location. A hunt request is not a confirmed booking, and no specific audience size or sales result is guaranteed.
Build the community connection
A useful activation introduces visitors to the people behind the place. Clues and content should help discovery without misleading participants about prizes, opening hours or eligibility.
The record afterwards should identify what happened, who contributed and which results are supported. Announced prizes, printed tickets and distributed prizes are different measures.
Request an activation
The existing Find Dank hunt request form is available on the homepage. Provide the shop or venue name, town or city and contact email so Find Dank can discuss an appropriate format.
