TREASURE HUNT PEOPLE
Below you will find an excerpt from the first section of one of our OLD CITY TREASURE HUNTS. Participants have to figure out what the
STARTER clue is telling them to do. It leads them to a specific point where they will find a number or a letter on a door, a blue plaque, or even an inscription on a gravestone. This number or letter will correspond to another clue on the quest sheet.This Treasure Hunt starts outside Exit Three of Bank Underground Station. Outside the exit read the STARTER question go where it leads you and then figure out the next clue you must follow. Remember in an actual Treasure Hunt your team also has to answer observation questions concerning things and places they pass en route. For example can you find where Benjamin Disraeli worked from 1821 - 1824? Or can you discover what now stands on the site once occupied by the London Salvage Corps?
How about what was Old Change? In addition each team is given an instant camera with which to take photographs of themselves in creative (occasionally outrageous)! poses. Imagine persuading a person in uniform to pose with two of your team members. (There's never a policeman round when you need one!)Well, you get the gist. So why not go along to exit three of Bank Underground Station and see how you get on?
Good Hunting.
