Welcome to the chase.  The Glasgow Chase, made specially for the Buchanan Street Apple Store.  Even as we speak, we’re creating  a mini treasure hunt app (free of course!) for you to take a virtual chase through Glasgow with the help of your phone and some of that nice shiny stuff in the store. 

Unlike our previous treasure hunts we are not sending you out on a trail outdoors. Although some of the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets outside, this time we will be staying in the store.  The treasure hunt, lasting roughly 30 minutes, is presented in an app for iPhone and iPad featuring destinations from our other tours exploring music, art, cinema, architecture and streetwise culture in some of the quirkier nooks and crannies of the city.

It won’t be a race against time but you might like to sort yourselves into competing teams and set the clock ticking. Alternatively, please feel free to join in as a solo player, just for fun.

You can answer the questions and solve the riddles by using your imagination, sharing common knowledge…and you can even cheat a little by using some  smart technology on the table to dig up the answers.

The Glasgow Chase features tasks based on Glasgow Music Tour, Cinema City and two new tours, Glasgow’s Landmarks and Clydeside Promenade  created by Walking Heads in collaborative projects for Culture 2014.

The free event takes place at the Apple Store on Buchanan Street at 6pm on Thursday July 24th. Registration via the Apple Store website is required, guests are advised to arrive early to take part. Register at the Apple Store Website: apple.com/uk/retail/buchananstreet
