The Covent Garden treasure hunt takes players on a fun and fascinating journey through the heart of London’s most vibrant district. Players will receive challenges, solve puzzles and have a great time among London’s best shopping, historic theatres, wild street performers, restaurants and pubs. Highlights include Covent Garden Piazza, London’s oldest restaurant, The Palace Theatre, The Royal Opera House, the Lamb & Flag Pub, Savoy Hotel as well as insights into some of Covent Garden’s most interesting historical personalities.
The City of London hunt treats you to a trip through a district brimming with a mix of historical sites and modern panache. With its roots in Roman times, the City is the birth place of London. Today, it’s London’s financial hub and is the place where past meets present with interesting features and facts around every corner! Take in the sounds and sights of this fascinating area with our City of London hunt. Highlights include the Great Fire of London, the Bank of England, The Royal Exchange, London’s first Coffee House and much more.
Additional districts and cities are coming soon including Westminster, Oxford, Windsor and Edinburgh. More hunts will follow as UK: The Game spreads its treasure hunts across the UK.
