Typically, a team building scavenger hunt requires participants to find a series of items or places or complete a series of challenges. These can be completed in any order and a winner is determined by how many items were found or collected and/or how quickly everything on the list has been completed.

Idea: A

Hi everyone,
For those who are coming for the scavenger hunt, we’re meeting tomorrow 12:50 pm at St Pancras Station by the entrance.
Those who aren’t coming can join us later in the Greene Man Euston pub from 6 pm onwards (we’ll most likely be in the basement :))
Super excited to see you all tomorrow 😃

Hunt Day

Plan:

Meet: St Pancras Station 12.55. Pop on your party hats and let the hunt begin. Don’t forget to read the extras on the checklist – don’t want to miss before it’s too late. P.S no obligation to purchase things, but if you don’t, take a photo as proof you went there). Also, blank birthday card for strangers to fill. And before the team part ways, spin the colour wheel (on my phone) – whatever colour you land on, take photos of anything that colour along the way).

Realisation:

Colors: A’s Team – pink, K’s Team – blue

– First, head towards Granary Square via rainbow tunnel

– Find the autofoto booth (on lower stable street Coal Drops Yard). How many can fit in one booth?!

– Head to Angel St to ride the longest escalator on TfL.

– Head to Camden Passage. This is where we split up for a bit of friendly competition.

– Weirdest item you can find in the antiques market.

– Browse the shops and find an object beginning with the first letter of your team leader’s name.

– Blind date with a book- you won’t know the title til you unwrap the package (upper street bookstore).

– British Patagonia bakery (vegan to please an entire crowd)

– Now to find the most unassuming art gallery. Set inside an iconic London structure (telephone boxes!), not far from the British Museum. (Russell Square)(Visionary Brit Museum)

– Now off to another unusual piece of art. Worldwide theme tucked besides the campus of LSE (Holborn). (The World Turned Upside Down). Portugal St.

– What’s the weirdest chocolate flavour you can find in Lindt’s flagship store? (Piccadilly circus). Not obliged to buy anything though.

– Next underground stop is named after an ABBA song (Waterloo). Here, look for a giant mural of London’s favourite bear.

– Head underground to find a tunnel full of legal graffiti (Leake Street Arches)

– Borough Market if peckish. Either way, be at the final meeting point for 5.25pm – an old haunt and hangout of Shakespeare’s to soak up the food with a drink. At the Greene Man Pub Euston

Extra points:

– take a photo outside a pub named after a famous British figure (eg monarch, prime minister etc).

– Take a photo outside of London’s resident animal (the pigeon!)

– Take a selfie in front of a tube stop starting with the same letter as the team leader’s name (A and K)

Ewa’s POV: I didn’t take part on that birthday hunt, I came first to the pub in the evening. Thus I didn’t see how the teams realised their tasks. What you see in that post ist the deduction job, comparing list of tasks with pics.

Good job, Watson!
