FAQs about our London Treasure Hunts:

What kind of clues are there on these Treasure Hunts?

Answers to clues will be found on statues, fixed information plaques and in architectural features. As well as clues to unravel and riddles to solve there will be bonus challenges too - just to keep you on your toes! 

How many can be in a team?

Up to six people in a team but we would recommend four; too many chefs spoil the broth 'n' all that.

How long will the treasure hunt take?

Our fully managed Treasure Hunts are designed to take around 2 hours.

What's a self-managed treasure hunt?

A self-managed treasure hunt gives you maximum flexibility to run the event as and when it best suits you. We send you everything you need from individual team packs containing laminated question sheets, team stickers, permanent markers (to write the answers). We will also provide the organiser with easy to follow rules, a comprehensive marking matrix and the ever important answers in a sealed envelope!  Find out more here

No, but you are welcome to provide prizes for winning team/s. We find an extra days holiday to be welcomed by all.

Are these treasure hunts suitable for children?

The cryptic clues on our Greenwich treasure hunt are designed for adults. However, children are able to and do enjoy being able to contribute to the challenges and also answering the clues once they have been de-riddled. 

Are these treasure hunts accessible for wheelchairs and prams?

We try and make our treasure hunts as accessible as possible including avoiding stairs. You do, however, need to be able to comfortably be out for 2 hours with your team. Even though no stairs are involved in our Greenwich team building treasure hunt there is an incline in order to get up to the Greenwich Observatory. The treasure hunt does involve curbs and so not suitable for mobility scooters.

Is the Greenwich treasure hunt up to date? Will we be able to find all the clues?

We regularly check the treasure hunt routes and update the treasure hunt packs accordingly. Answers to clues will be found on fixed statues, information plaques and in architectural features.  You will not need to go into any buildings or paid access areas.

Absolutely! Your event manager will be taking off the load so go out and join the fun!

We would like to have to have a drink at the end and possibly something to eat. Can you help?

Our fully managed treasure hunts end at venues which provide food and drink but can be tailored to suit budgets and requirements.
