You can learn more about them here - https://www.bucketrace.com/locations/scavenger-hunts-london
We specialise in London scavenger hunts; however upon request, we are able to offer events in other UK major cities. Please contact us to see if we can support an event in your location.
Our scavenger hunts have been designed to allow you to discover the hidden gems in locations all over the world, socialise and compete with your friends, and reinvigorate and inspire your inner child. Before your event we'll arrange a consultation to comprehensively understand what you'd like to get out of your day, allowing our creative team to piece together the most personal, special and unique experience possible.
We're flexible, meaning we can run our events from offices, a bar or pub, or an outdoor public space, so you can relax and socialise as everyone arrives. We then hand out your personalised Bucket List, do a brief introduction, go through the rules and task submission and then send teams on their way.
We can either finish where we started, or make the finish line a cryptic clue, which team must decipher to find. The winners are then announced and prizes for 1st place, best photo and best video are handed out.
How it works
BucketRace is a race around London, where teams compete against one another by completing tasks on the list or BucketList provided. BucketRace's goal is for participants to discover new places, activities and hidden gems within London, while meeting like-minded people and competing in a fun and friendly environment.
Rules
Teams must stick together at all times
Each photo should include the whole team; however, one member can be excluded if they’re taking the photo/video
Tasks are divided into Miscellaneous, Bespoke and Location catergories.
Location tasks are mutually exclusive
You cannot score tasks within multiple locations
Tasks must be submitted before the end of BucketRace to be counted
For late arrival to the finish, teams loose 150 points every 5 minutes
Any team more than 15 minutes late will loose all their points
Any teams caught cheating will be disqualified
Teams with the most points at the end of BucketRace wins
What you need
All you need is a well-charged smart phone more than one per team is advised and a comfy pair of trainers BucketRace will provide the rest.
Scoring
Each task carries a specific amount of points based on its difficulty, location and BucketRace classification e.g. location, miscellaneous, bespoke or bonus. The location tasks score the least; however completing enough of them unlocks a hefty bonus. Miscellaneous tasks score more points, but they don’t offer any bonus incentive. So choose wisely!
It’s worth noting that most of the BucketRace location tasks have been written in order of the quickest route. The exceptions are the final few tasks within each section, which have been chosen to fit the culture of each area and can be performed anywhere within that location.
Examples of Tasks
Location: Find a taxi serving coffee in Shoreditch | Find the giant Dragon in Camden | Build a human pyramid in Hyde Park
Miscellaneous: Serenade a stranger | Build a leaning tower of pizza | Share your last Rolo with a stranger
Bespoke: Spell out your Company Name in large letters | Locate a notable alumni | Find the backronym of I.T. written down
On The Day
We have various meeting points dependant upon the scavenger hunt you choose. Typically we meet in a social environment such as a pub, where we spend around half an hour assigning teams, checking task submission, explaining the rules and answering any questions. Teams then have 2-3 hours to complete as many tasks as possible, gain the most points and find their way to the finish line. All the task submissions are collated and verified, the best videos/photos are showcased, the final scores are announced and prizes, framed photos and/or medals are handed out.
