Tour de France ...or Tour de Team?
We’re now well underway with Le Tour de France and Team Sky’s (GBR) Geraint Thomas is currently wearing the yellow jumper as we enter stage 4 of the tour. We can’t get enough of it in our office, so much so that our events consultant Sarah has started cycling every weekend!
It’s also why we came up with our very own take on the event… ‘Tour de Team’!
What’s Involved?
The event starts with teams creating their own branding and logo which will then feature on their race gear ‘sperm suits & caps’ and flag. A series of different challenges are then laid out which each team must complete in the allotted time frame. Puncture repairs, orienteering tasks and speed trails are just some of the challenges your team will face in order to prove their worth of competing in the final race.
Once teams have proven their worth, the final challenge set before your team is to assemble your bikes from scratch! Our expert technicians will be on site to guide you through this stage and gives the final check before they are ‘race approved’.
For the grand finale, a head to head relay race takes place on our pre-set track…

Monopoly Treasure Hunt
Overview
Monopoly Treasure Hunt
Don’t worry, we won’t be forcing you to sit around a table rolling dice to re-create ‘family games night’ with your co-workers. Instead we’ve created our very own spin on the classic game that requires clever planning, quick thinking and a good eye!
Our Monopoly Treasure Hunt is the perfect way to explore London, see the sights that the UK’s capital city has to offer as you race around earning points by completing location based challenges.
About
Event Format
To start things off, our event manager will brief teams on how the game works and provide each with an iPad Mini tablet with the pre-loaded game software. Based off a GPS system, teams will have to navigate their way around London to designated way-points where a location specific challenge will unlock. To make your way “around the board”, you can either choose to use every form of public transport the capital has to offer, or for that extra special London touch, each team can be provided with their very own private Black Cab!
Much like the board game, certain locations are worth more points but higher points means a greater challenge. Planning is essential, with so many locations and only a limited amount of time you will have to ensure you choose the right locations to maximise your points potential.
Will your team devise the perfect route and come out on top… or will you head straight for Mayfair only to waste precious time to find out the challenge is too tough!
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 with a plethora of Indoor Options!

How it works
How does Monopoly Treasure Hunt work?
The Monopoly Treasure Hunt is an iPad-led London team building event for 10 to 250 people, based on the classic board game, where teams race between famous Monopoly locations to collect points. It lasts 3 to 6 hours. Here's how it runs.
-
Pick up your iPad
Each team receives an iPad Mini with a GPS map of locked waypoints based on the Monopoly board, from Pall Mall to Park Lane.
-
Choose your transport
Teams travel by London Black Cab, one per team, or take on the extra challenge of using public transport.
-
Plan your route
There are more waypoints than any team can reach, and higher-value locations come with harder challenges, so route planning is essential.
-
Complete the challenges
Challenges unlock as teams reach each location, with points updating to a live scoreboard.
-
Crown the winners
The team with the most points when the clock runs out wins medals.

FAQs
Monopoly Treasure Hunt: Frequently Asked Questions
No. Rather than sitting around a table rolling dice, the event turns London itself into the Monopoly board. Teams travel between real locations, completing challenges to earn points and deciding which destinations are worth pursuing.
Teams receive an iPad Mini containing the event software and use GPS to navigate between designated waypoints around London. Reaching a location unlocks a challenge connected to that particular place, with points available depending on the location and difficulty.
Teams can use London's public transport network to move around the board, or you can choose the more distinctive option of giving each team its own private Black Cab. This allows the event to be tailored towards either a more independent treasure-hunt experience or a classic London sightseeing adventure.
Strategy is central to the event. Some locations are worth more points but also have harder challenges, so teams have to decide whether a high-value destination is worth the time and effort required to reach it.
Not necessarily, and that's where the strategy comes in. With a limited amount of time, teams need to plan their route rather than automatically visiting every available location, deciding where they can collect the most points efficiently.
Yes. Teams aren't expected to navigate the capital from memory because the iPad software uses GPS and provides the relevant waypoints. The challenge is therefore more about choosing an effective route and solving the location-based tasks than already knowing London's streets.
The event is designed around London and can be incorporated into a wider corporate day. The event manager briefs the teams before they head out with their tablets, so the starting arrangements can be discussed when the event is planned.
The event is suitable for groups of approximately 10 to 250 people. The final format can be planned around your group size and the transport arrangements required.
The event uses location-specific waypoints around London, with different destinations carrying different point values and challenges. This means the route can take teams across different parts of the capital rather than keeping everyone within one small area.
The event typically lasts three to six hours. That's enough time for teams to travel between locations, complete their challenges and make strategic decisions about where to spend their remaining time.
