Historical Treasure Hunt
Come along on Saturday 28th August for a Historical Treasure Hunt around the city of London!
How it works
The treasure hunt starts at Tower Hill Tube Station at 1pm, then depending on numbers you will be divided into teams of 3 or 4 people.
A written clue will then be given to each team to help you find the next clue and so on. The first team to correctly work out all the clues and then return to base will win a prize each.
The clues will test your historical knowledge of London, although they won't be too difficult!
We will be meeting up at Tower Hill tube station at 1pm, inside the station, near the ticket barriers. If you can't see us at the station, please call.
Afterwards we will head to a local bar for a chat over a drink.
Hope you can make it.
Regards
Robert

Depending on how long it takes your team to find the clues, the treasure hunt should be finished by 3pm.

I think one of the questions should be: "When was the Great London Fire of 1666?" Good solid question there Robert (hint hint) and my four digit answer would make me feel amazing and clever!

I could go on about why we of Team Tabasco took so long on the treasure hunt. There was the kidnapping incident by someone with an unconvincing accent. Then we had to fight off a legion of rabid badgers....there was the wandering tribe of zombie cannibals who spoke with no vowels... the car chase, the bus chase and the chase on horseback, all of which slowed down rather than sped up our quest in the jungle of London! But we all had fun and really enjoyed it. As usual Robert, brilliant!
