Popular Questions

What does a hunt pack contain?

When you purchase a hunt, your hunt pack will be sent directly to the email address you provide. You will receive full instructions and the hunt itself.

And what does the hunt itself contain?

Each hunt is a series of interwoven clues and puzzles leading you from landmark to hidden gem across a specific area of London. Along with the clues, each hunt is bursting with information to help you get to grips with the area you're exploring. This can be anything from historical biography to spooky stories and oddball facts. The hunts are also clearly laid out and fully illustrated. You can see an example for our South Bank hunt, or on the individual hunt pages.

Do I need a map?

All hunts come with full instructions and directions, so you should have no problem navigating the streets of London. However, those unfamiliar with the city may find a map useful.

Will I need to pay anything further en route?

All London Treasure Hunts are designed so that no entry fees are required for any of the stops. The hunts do occasionally go past famous landmarks which require an entrance fee, and these will always be highlighted for you. However, you will never be required to enter a paid attraction to complete the hunt.

Are the hunts only available via email?

Email is our preferred delivery service as it reduces waste and allows us to offer you a faster, cheaper service. If you would like to receive your hunt in another way then do contact us. Please note an extra charge may be incurred for this.

What if we get a question wrong?

A wrong answer at one point in the hunt may make it more difficult for you to get through a later bit that refers back to it, but can't do any worse than slowing you down – you'll always be able to find a way through to the end.

And what if we get stuck?

There are no rules, so be as creative as you like in tracking down that tricky answer. Phone a friend, text the question to your favourite answering service, ask a passing policeman or gallery attendant. Anything goes.

Can you guarantee our personal safety?

London Treasure Hunts cannot take responsibility for your personal safety on the walks. However, all hunts have been designed with safety in mind.

Are the hunts an all-weather activity?

Yes, although we would suggest checking the weather forecast and dressing appropriately.

Are the hunts up-to-date?

Part of London’s charm is its fast-moving nature. We make every effort to keep an ear to the ground and update the hunts continuously, but just occasionally something might change without us noticing straight away. We're always keen to hear of anything we've missed.
