Description

Stuck for ways to keep the over-excited little ones busy this Christmas? Imp-rove your Christmas experience with our fun, free Christmas trail.

All you need is your smart phone, as Hunt for the Lost Toys takes you on a free trail through the centre of Oxford searching for the Christmas Imps.

The trail works by using QR codes, without the need for players to download or sign up to anything. Ten city centre businesses will display an image of a different Christmas Imp in their window.

Kids, big and small, engage with the story by scanning each QR code, choosing what happens and seeing the characters burst into life in augmented reality. The trail takes about 90 minutes to complete and can be done in more than one visit. There is also no limit on how many times the game can be played.

Other Info

The trail starts at Hoyle’s, an independent, family-run games shop and you can join in finding their Queen of Hearts before you start your trail. The trail finishes at the Oxford Castle and Prison, with Christmas activities and shopping.

The trail takes in many of Oxford’s stunning landmarks such as the Radcliffe Camera and the Covered Market, so players can stop and start the trail at any point while they enjoy other attractions along the way.
