Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is Jersey Empire™?
Jersey Empire™ is an island-wide, digital-first adventure that turns Jersey into an interactive game board. Teams explore landmarks, solve trivia, and complete live challenges.
What is a "Season"?
Seasons keep gameplay fresh. Each season introduces a distinct theme, landmark rotation, and time-limited challenge set.
What is the current theme?
Opening Season: The Foundation. It focuses on core landmarks that shaped Jersey identity, from medieval fortifications to Liberation sites.
What is the incentive to play?
Aside from the glory of topping the leaderboard, every session supports the Jersey Scouts. A percentage of all proceeds is donated directly to local Scouting initiatives.
Gameplay & Strategy
How do I conquer a landmark?
Travel within 75m of the landmark to trigger a challenge. Answer questions correctly and complete tasks to earn Empire Cash.
Who is The Banker?
The Banker is the game's ultimate authority. He manages the economy, distributes your starting funds, and delivers the challenges.
What are Chance Cards?
These are random, live events that pop up every 30 minutes. They can bring unexpected rewards, like a "Cider Bounty," or fun penalties, like a "Seagull Theft".
Logistics & Sustainability
Can I use my car?
No. To protect Jersey's environment and ensure a fair playing field, the use of private cars is strictly prohibited. Navigation must be done on foot or via public transport.
Is transport included?
We are currently working with LibertyBus to integrate digital passes into your booking. For now, we recommend the AvanchiCard "Discoverer" Day Pass, more info HERE.
When can I play?
Current standard sessions run Saturdays and Sundays, 08:00 to 19:00, with extra dates opened only when officially announced.
What about weather and tides?
The Empire never sleeps, but safety comes first. Check your booking confirmation for mandatory tide warnings regarding sites like Elizabeth Castle.
Future Conquests
Will the game expand?
Yes. Roadmap planning includes wider operating windows during peak periods.
Can I play next season?
Absolutely. Your legacy may carry over, but the landmarks and trivia will change as we move into future themes like the "Occupation Path" or "Maritime Legends".
