01 · The Mission
Jersey Empire is an island-wide, digital-first adventure designed to turn Jersey into an interactive game board. Teams navigate 26 iconic landmarks to solve heritage trivia and complete strategic challenges, all while supporting the Jersey Scouts.
02 · Quick Start Guide
- Location: Start at Royal Square, St. Helier.
- Hours: 08:00 to 19:00 on your booked session day. Standard sessions run on weekends unless a special booking window is announced.
- The Hub: Log in at play.jersey-empire.uk and press “START EMPIRE” to begin.
- The Goal: Achieve the Highest Net Worth (Cash + Property Value) by the 19:00 cutoff.
03 · Core Gameplay Mechanics
- Conquering Landmarks: Arrive within a 75m radius of a map marker to unlock that landmark’s trivia challenge and the option to “BUY” the spot.
- Automatic Rent: If an opposing team arrives at your property, they pay you rent automatically.
- Starting Kit: Every team begins with £1,500 in digital Empire Money.
- Chance Cards: Random live events stay on a 30-minute rhythm, but only unlock after real landmark progress. Idle waiting does not stack missed chance-card opportunities.
- Timed Trivia: General Jersey timed trivia starts 15 minutes after your session begins and then repeats on its own 30-minute rhythm as a prestige-only knowledge check. It does not award cash or RC, and your team record appears in the dashboard.
- Passing GO: Collect a £200 bonus by passing through Royal Square (once every 3 hours). Check the in-game timer to see how long remains before your next claim.
- Free Parking: A random pot of at least £200 spawns dynamically; the first team to reach it wins the lot.
04 · Strategic Multipliers
- Full Set Bonus: Own an entire colour group to double (2x) the rent for those properties.
- Transport Tycoon: Station fees double for every additional station owned (up to 8x).
- Utility Mogul: Service fees double for every Utility held (Telecom, Water, Electricity).
05 · Challenges & Credits
- The Jail House: Wait 20 minutes for a free release or pay £50 Bail. You must remain within 50m of your spot or the timer resets.
- RC (Reward Credits): Earn RC through correct landmark trivia and approved selfies. Use them for Hints, Reward Boosts (x2), or Shields during gameplay. Timed Trivia does not award RC.
- Photo Challenges: Selfie/photo missions are treated as special live-event moments rather than automatic landmark triggers.
06 · Safety & Professional Conduct
- Car-Free Conquest: Use of private cars to move between landmarks is strictly prohibited to promote sustainability.
- Tide Safety: Mandatory tide checks are required for Elizabeth Castle and Corbière.
- Public Respect: No trespassing on private land or climbing on historic monuments.
- Group Integrity: Teams must stay together; participants under 16 require constant supervision.
