The organiser can still take part and not be at    any advantage!
* One set of sealed answers
* One score sheet
* Two team packs, each containing a set of   rules, a set of clues and a map. Each pack has
a seal to discourage prying eyes prior to the   day of the event!

* One set of clues
* One map.

Expect cryptic clues, anagrams, code breakers, general knowledge, a variety of word and number puzzles and the odd trick question. Beware, we can be devious.

Your team will need to be observant, take photos, piece together information, think laterally, carry out tasks, work together, be resourceful and hold their nerve.

Here's a puzzle to get you started...
Imagine these colleagues in a Moorgate office...

Sue - enjoys walking & eating out (not Chinese)
Dave - quiet technical geek, lateral thinker.
Jo    - family oriented, into history and art.
Rani - Brummie, lunchtime crossword queen.
Lucy - eco warrior, outdoorsy type.
John - Cockney geeza, could drink for England.
Larry - 48, jovial boss. Wants his 3 new staff           from Accounts to be "part of the team".
You - social organiser. Your task is to find "something different" for an office team building event so everyone is as happy as Larry!  How?

Answer

"If you wish to have a just notion of the magnitude of this great city you must
not be satisfied with seeing its great
streets and squares but must survey
the innumerable little lanes and courts."

Dr Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

NEW for the summer! Ideal for after work. 45 minute treasure hunt along London's South Bank between London Bridge and Blackfriar's Bridge. Follow the Thames and absorb the history as you search for clues in and around Borough Market, Southwark cathedral, the Golden Hinde, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Millennium Bridge, Tate Modern, Christoper Wren's house and more. Then grab a riverside table, food and well-deserved drink at the Founder's Arms, Anchor or Old Thameside Inn or nip into one of the famous coaching inns off Borough High Street to mark your score. Can you be first back with the most clues solved in 45 minutes or less?!

The West End is the centre of London's shopping, cultural entertainment and restaurant scene. A vibrant mix of famous landmarks, theatres, fashion, museums, music venues and tourist tat make for an eclectic mix of clues. Retire to a restaurant to mark the answers and if you haven't fared so well then at least you can begin your quest for world domination!

I'm the organiser, what do I need to do?
It's straightforward, and the treasure hunt pack contains some guidance on what to do.

Things to think about in advance:

* Decide how many teams are taking part.

* Order the packs. If your group wish to pay    individually or you'd prefer an invoice, please
   call us and we can arrange.

* Decide when the event will be and when it will   start and end. The flexible format allows for any   start point and for any duration from 45 minutes
to 4-5 hours!

* Decide where the event will start and end. We   provide suggested tube stations/pubs but you   could start/end at your offices or a restaurant.

* Decide if you want to dress up!

* Make sure each team has a mobile phone with
  a camera.

* Decide if prizes will be awarded, what they    might be and if you want any "special prize    categories"!

* Decide if you need anyone else to help you.

* Call us on 07801 693001 if you need advice.

From finance to fish and lawyers to livery companies, the “square mile” is the business heartbeat of London, Monday to Friday. Follow in Dr Johnson's footsteps and you'll explore a myriad of alleyways where medieval churches and historic pubs jostle with modern skyscrapers that are icons of the world's greatest financial district. But can you bank on your team to win?
