On our London Bus Treasure Hunt your privatly 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 Picadilly where teams hop off to tackle treasure hunt tasks before reboarding ready for the next leg. This activity is highly engaging and there is of course time for teams to grab a coffee in various locations (such as Covant Garden) as they see fit. At the end of the hunt we can finish at almost any venue of your choice so long as it is in Central London, for a celebratory wrap-up, prize-giving, meeting or drinks.
The London Bus Treasure Hunt is a great mix of activities and is designed 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 in themes and activities to the hunt such as character meets! These can either be obvious with our team in costume or more ‘covert’ where teams must identify their contact and approach them. Whatever happends the interaction tests confidence and communication in order to crack one of our puzzles or to open our Davinci code style Cryptex.
With location based activities, timed clues and tasks such as spelling your company name with their bodies and clothing through to photographing a London cab by Big Ben and a pigeon mid-flight at Nelson’s Column this hunt has plenty of laughs. Tasks are all very achievable and lightly competitive so the emphasis stays on fun, networking and shared wins.
From the first briefing to the final cheer, our experienced event team manages everything for you and of course ensure that no one is left behind before the bus moves on! If your group prefers a traditional feel, we can run the entire hunt via printed booklets to maximise inclusivity; if you want more tech, our ipad app takes away the stress of lots of paper. This treasure hunt is ideal for international delegates, meetings and conference entertainment and of course fun team events.
If this isn’t quite right for you why not consider a foot based Scavanger Hunt?
