Telephone Treasure Trails This very popular countrywide quiz over the telephone has been going successfully since 1995. The quiz usually runs for four nights: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. November is the best month to hold it. Usually well over 350 of NWR's 450 groups take part. This means generally that approximately 100 groups take part each night. Treasure Trail 2008 10th - 13th November GODALMING NWR Group invites you to take part in the 2008 Telephone Treasure Trail.

Of the 23 questions each group will answer only 20 sequentially, starting at the number appointed to them. First of all a theme is chosen. These have included in the past for example: seasons, colours, famous battles, towns with similar names, plants The quiz also involves volunteer clue holders who sit next to their phones for the 8-10 pm on their allotted nights and accept answers and provide groups with the next question. The complicated sequence is all worked out by the Office beforehand. Clue holders will not be doing this on the same night that their own group is participating. There is a list of emergency clue holders to stand by for last minute changes or emergencies. All the Groups are informed of their first clue, sent in a sealed envelope to be opened on the night. Answers are written on the sheet provided and returned to the group organising the TTT to be marked. Prizes are allocated to winning groups per night - on a first marked basis. Only after the marking do the questions (and answers of course) appear on this website. Every year there are twenty-three clues to solve, it is great fun to take part!
