Worldwide · TREASURE HUNTS IN LONDON
Every trip has one free evening. These 8 treasure hunts in London justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
You’ll follow Sir Francis Drake’s mission along the Thames, solving WhatsApp riddles and finding food stops on a self-guided route. Meet at the Founder's Arms for a three-course British meal, pub lunch, sweets, and London stories. Bring a charged phone with data.
“So much fun! Not too hard…we all had fun with the clues. Enjoyed each of our stops and the learned a lot of London history. Do it! You won’t regret it!”
Use your phone to follow 15 cryptic clues across 4.5 km of central London, starting at Piccadilly Circus and heading through Covent Garden, Seven Dials, and Soho. You choose the start time, use hints when needed, and can race other teams or take your time, with optional pub breaks along the way.
“Well worth doing, discover areas you wouldn't otherwise go to. Just remember that if your answers don't send straight away...wait! Getting a second person to send them gets them out of sync and can result in time penalties for wrong answers!”
Follow 15 phone-based clues from St Paul’s through the Square Mile, finding Roman ruins, a Victorian market, magical underground remains, and two optional pub stops. You solve at your own pace, request hints when needed, and compete on a leaderboard for $41.11 per group of up to two.
“A lot of the streets were closed for planned construction, which the hunt should really account for. This really made the tour a bad experience.”
Start at Oxford Circus and follow a 5.2-kilometer Dickens-themed trail by phone. Choose Pip or Sikes, solve 18 clues, explore arcades, passages, shops, and pubs, and finish where you began. Allow 2.5 to 3.5 hours, including stops and wrong turns.
“6 of us did this on Good Friday and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The clues were about the right level of difficulty and the route was excellent. Thank you.”
You use a mobile app to follow a private, self-guided puzzle trail from St. Paul’s through the City of London and Southwark. Expect riddles, riverside views, bridge art, historic markets, sculptures, and clues in Classic, Relaxed, or Spanish formats.
“Very interesting however some of the clues don’t quite match up to the location! Be prepared to walk a long way! It’s difficult to get to requested location if you can’t get a signal on your phone!!!”
Join a private two to six person food treasure hunt around London Bridge and Southwark. Follow phone-based clues linked to Sir Francis Drake, British royals, and Shakespeare, with a British treat, pub lunch, and dessert included.
“A Brilliant Way to Explore London! Gourmaze was such a fun and unique experience! The London Bridge historical maze took us through hidden streets and fascinating landmarks I would’ve missed on a regular tour. The clues were clever, the stories rich with history, and the food stops absolutely delicious. Whether you’re visiting or a local, it’s a fantastic way to see the city in a whole new light. Highly recommend!”
You and your private group play spies on London’s South Bank, using a GPS-enabled app to follow clues, solve puzzles, and spot landmarks. Starting at the Graffiti Tunnel on Leake Street, this family-friendly outdoor escape game runs about four hours and returns to the same meeting point.
“We had a wonderful time following the clues and solving the puzzles which were just at the right level. The fabulous thing is that you get to explore parts of London that you wouldn't normally see. It's a fabulous way to spend an afternoon in London! Would thoroughly recommend for all ages.”
Follow CityDays clues through Greenwich on a private, self-guided walk lasting about two to three hours. You’ll connect witches with tea, find the Observatory, explore Queen’s House, learn about Greenwich time, and uncover maritime stories at your own pace.
“Our whole family took the Greenwich trail and had a great day out. The variety in the difficulty of clues meant that there was something to keep everyone interested while uncovering some wonderful hidden spots and unique architectural gems that we would otherwise never have seen. Clues were delivered instantly as advertised, accompanied by facts and trivia about each location, and when I contacted CityDays with a query their response was pretty much instant too, as well as being polite, courteous and just generally really helpful.”
Pick a country, a city or a kind of puzzle.
