Next month, a treasure hunt will take place around Liverpool, to celebrate the upcoming release of John Lennon’s album ‘Mind Games (The Ultimate Collection)’.

The family friendly day will start at 9am on Saturday 6th July, at Liverpool Town Hall, and takes fans across the city where there will be hidden QR codes, which can be scanned with a chance to win prizes.

The locations will be revealed on the day, and the first person to scan all of the QR codes will win a grand prize of a Super Deluxe ‘Mind Games (The Ultimate Collection)' Box Set worth £1,350.

Don't worry though, everyone who takes part in the treasure hunt will get a chance to win a prize, depending on how many locations they scan during the day.
