Top 10 Scavenger Hunts in London, England

July 1, 2021 Alice Mieles

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Played this game with a group of friends and family over video call for a birthday. It was great fun! Very clever and well thought out clues to follow and we enjoyed the different ways to interact with the game from home. I would definitely recommend.

My friends and I played over a zoom call, and the problem solving and lateral thinking have been perfectly adapted to the current lockdown situation. It gave us an incredibly fun hour or so of puzzles and interaction with a brilliant actor who was witty, quick and very engaged with all of us. We had the best time and would not hesitate to do another version and recommend this to anyone looking for something fun and different to do during this time. Thank you so much.

Of the Escape Rooms I've done it was one of the best. Also, this was the first one that I've done with just two people (I took my son and it was his first escape room) but we managed to escape ... allbeit with 4 minutes to spare! It was not easy but the clues were well written and all was definitely not what it seemed. We had a lot of fun and the staff were great too.

What a great company! We had our staff of 40+ participate in the remote scavenger hunt, and it was a great success! All tailored to our company. It was great fun, and everyone enjoyed it so much, and such a good way to bring the team together even though we are all apart working from home and working from different countires! Our communication with the team prior to the event was so quick, efficient and friendly! We highly recommend this company for any of their tailored events! We will for sure use them again! Valiantys
