Seoul Searching
A phone game played by over 4,000 young people at the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea.
The situation
In summer 2023 UK Scouts took their contingent to South Korea for the World Scout Jamboree. The UK Management Team wanted a way to get young people exploring Seoul: visiting landmarks, noticing local customs, completing challenges and meeting Scouts from other countries.
What we did
We built Seoul Searching on our London Monopoly Run game. Teams played on their own phones. To earn points they uploaded a photo of themselves at a location, answered a question or completed a challenge. An admin team marked each photo in a separate part of the app, and accepted photos credited the team’s points automatically.
The outcome
Over 300 teams joined the game while they were in Seoul and sent in more than 3,000 photo submissions.

I can’t thank you enough for all you did to support us and to provide a truly amazing experience for the UK Contingent game you produced (for over 4000 young people in South Korea). Your attention to detail to deliver, your dedication to understand what was needed was truly appreciated and it meant a lot to be able to engage so many people in the finished article. You are a star and you are worthy of more than 5 stars!
