Our London Treasure Hunt takes your team on an exciting journey through the nation's great capital, exploring the history and sights of this historic city.
We meet you at a pre-determined location. Whether it's your offices, a hotel, conference centre, pub, restaurant or even Waterloo Station, we can start the Treasure Hunt from any location.
You will receive a briefing from your event manager and each team will be issued with an iPad. The iPads are loaded with bespoke software that allows teams to navigate around the city answering a variety of questions and completing various challenges.
Teams will plot their route based on the location of on-screen 'hot-spots,' each of which hosts a different challenge. These might include general knowledge questions, location based questions, photo challenges and a list of items that your team has to retrieve.
You may also have to find a couple of our characters during your journey. Once found, these characters will give you additional tasks for bonus points. London is full of characters though so keep your wits about you!
Our iPads and software ensure the day is fun, interactive and challenging; but also mean that there’s no Googling the answers from the pub!
During the Treasure Trail you will almost certainly visit prime locations such as The Tower of London, Globe Theatre, South Bank, The London Eye, Westminster, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and much more!
The Great London Treasure Hunt can be themed or personalised in a variety of different ways. For example, why not add Black Cabs? The length of the hunt may also be adjusted to fit your schedule.
The cunning Treasure Hunt software shows the exact location of every other team in real time and also displays everybody’s score. This definitely ratchets up the competition and tempo, each team will need to use their wits to plan their strategy and keep ahead.
At the Team Building Company, we have been running Treasure Hunts in London for more than 25 years. We know that the weather can play a big factor in deciding on what to do for your team day out, don't worry, we have you covered come rain or shine!

After a briefing, each team receives an iPad loaded with bespoke treasure-hunt software. The screen displays challenge hotspots around London, allowing teams to plan a route, answer questions, complete tasks and collect points while exploring the capital.
The starting point can be agreed around your plans for the day. Options may include your office, hotel, conference venue, restaurant, pub or a convenient transport location such as Waterloo Station, helping the event fit naturally around your wider itinerary.
The route can take teams towards famous locations such as the South Bank, London Eye, Westminster, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace or the Tower of London. The exact sights will depend on the chosen start point, route and event timings.
