Families are invited to follow a trail of Christmas mischief through Truro as The Grinch Christmas Quest arrives in the city from Saturday 21st November to Thursday 24th December.
Brought to you by Truro City Council, with support from Visit Truro, and created by High Street Safari, the free interactive adventure invites families to find seven Grinch sightings around the city centre.
At each stop, families can search the artwork for a hidden Christmas symbol and scan a QR code with their smartphone to unlock games and activities. Along the way, they can become the Grinch in a festive selfie, meet Max, explore Who-ville and try to balance the Grinch’s sleigh.
At every sighting, players also choose an attachment to add to their own digital Grinch Tracker. Once all seven stops are complete, they’ll discover whether their creation can finally track him down.
Families can start at any participating stop and complete the Quest in any order. No app download is needed, with the activities opening directly in a smartphone browser.
Families can pick up a Grinch Tracker Sheet from Visit Truro Visitor Information Centre on Boscawen Street or Truro Community Library on Pydar Street. Once they’ve completed all seven sightings, they’ll unlock a digital Christmas reward and can return to either location to collect a Grinch prize sticker, while stocks last.
The Mayor of Truro, Councillor Chris Wells, said:
“Truro City Council is providing The Grinch Christmas Quest as it helps to support high street vitality but also provides a free activity that gives families something new to enjoy in Truro this Christmas. It’s a chance to explore the city together, have some fun and visit local shops and cafés along the way.”
The Quest forms part of Christmas in Truro, with markets, shopping, food and drink, and festive events giving residents and visitors plenty to enjoy throughout the season.
