What we’re about
Hello and a warm welcome to our friendly group.
Our unique variation of Treasure Hunts take place mainly on Sundays. During cold or wet periods they are currently held in warm toasty places like the National Art Gallery. In better weather they are held in local historical areas.
Outside, we've been to St Katherines Dock, Whitehall, Carnaby St, Queensway, Putney and Tower of London. New venues are always being checked out for consideration.
As part of a team you are each presented with a sheet of 20 part images taken from a gallery or local area. They could be costumes, objects, buildings or scenery.
You will also have a local map split into four sections listed P, Q, R and S. The clipboard holder enters one of the letters to note the image location. Your collective mission is to find them.
Usually it’s groups of three to four depending on numbers. Or bring a team of three guests with you! If you want to add more than three guests, ask them sign up as free members.
Dead simple, right? Well, yes, if you can spot them all. Generally, results are always close.
Check event photos for the previous Hunt sheet. If you’re new, you can see what your team has to do. Stella said " I was apprehensive about trying this, but once I did, I loved it, our team was great fun".
We’ve done about twenty so far over the last eighteen months with the London Urban Adventurers. So now we have this dedicated event group.
We are a happy friendly group whose membership for some goes back eight years.
Picture Hunts are interesting and challenging, bringing out the best of your teams detecting skills.
The starting process is as follows. The earlier your team sets off, the more time you have. So turning up early for a 1.30 start is a bonus.
Team answer sheets have to be back by 3.15.
We meet back somewhere suitable where we mark up. In case of a tiebreak, there will be a general knowledge numerical question where the “nearest to” wins.
We have the usual prizes of chocolate, including some great new varieties, plus some interesting and famous Imperial War Museum fridge magnets.
There is also a separate prize for the funniest/outrageous team name (if there are at least four teams). So there’s everything to play for. Some players are thinking of team names before they turn up!
Picture Hunts are good fun and the proven experience so far is that members get to know each other better after working in teams as you all have to communicate. Great icebreakers. This is what Meetup is all about. Come and join us.
There is a £6 cash charge for this event.
Contact number on the day is 07422334411 if your transport is delayed.
Don’t forget to cancel via the “Edit RSVP” button if you can’t make it. Please do this well in advance when you know, so it allows good notice for someone else to take your place, and minimises waiting time for the odd non-attendee. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
