London Bus Treasure Hunt
Hop on. Solve as you go. See London differently.
Aboard your privately hired vintage bus, teams roll past the icons — Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Piccadilly — hopping off at pre-planned stops to crack clues, snap photos and tackle playful missions before climbing back on for the next leg. There’s even time for a quick coffee stop where it suits.
Expect a lively mix that lets every personality shine: London trivia, creative poses, 60-second landmark sketches and photographic challenges — think a London cab by Big Ben, or a pigeon mid-flight at Nelson’s Column. Want more theatre? Add character meets, from costumed hosts to covert contacts your team has to spot and approach, to unlock puzzles or crack our Da Vinci-style cryptex.
The day can finish almost anywhere in Central London, wrapping up at your chosen venue for prize-giving, a meeting, or drinks.
Perfect for…

Your Team, Your Bus, London’s Ultimate Treasure Hunt.
Your privately hired vintage bus winds through iconic London routes in the City or West End, stopping at pre-arranged locations such as Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and Piccadilly, where teams hop off to tackle treasure hunt tasks before reboarding for the next leg. There’s time to grab a coffee along the way too, whether at Covent Garden or elsewhere. At the end of the hunt, we can finish at almost any venue of your choice in Central London for a celebratory wrap-up, prize-giving, meeting or drinks.
The London Bus Treasure Hunt mixes activities so every personality can shine. Teams test their knowledge of London’s history and general trivia, complete photographic missions (like snapping a smiling traffic warden or striking a pose by the Houses of Parliament), and unleash hidden artists with quick landmark sketches. We can add themes such as character meets — either an obvious version with our team in costume, or a covert one where teams must identify their contact and approach them. Whatever the format, the interaction tests confidence and communication, whether to crack a puzzle or open our Da Vinci Code-style cryptex.
With location-based activities, timed clues and tasks like spelling your company name with bodies and clothing, or photographing a London cab by Big Ben, or a pigeon mid-flight at Nelson’s Column, this hunt has plenty of laughs. Tasks stay achievable and lightly competitive, keeping the focus on fun, networking and shared wins.
From the first briefing to the final cheer, our experienced event team manages everything, making sure no one is left behind before the bus moves on. If your group prefers a traditional feel, we can run the whole hunt via printed booklets for maximum inclusivity; if you want more tech, our iPad app takes away the stress of paper. This treasure hunt is ideal for international delegates, meetings, conference entertainment and fun team events.
If this isn’t quite right for you, why not consider a foot-based Scavenger Hunt?
