About the event
RULES? Teams score points by finding treasures and correctly completing Culture Quest challenges (making your look & laugh, some worth scads of points!). Photograph your whole team at each treasure — there’s no set route, so strategy matters on this covert mission!
MEETING POINT: We'll meet at the Knidos Lion, found in the Great Court. If entering from Great Russell Street, our feline friend (photo below) is to the left, behind a large circular desk.
SUPPLIES: Teams receive important strategizing instructions along with the Culture Quest treasure hunt, a map for the navigator, and score sheet for the scribe of your team, before being dispatched simultaneously.
TICKETS: Book your museum entry tickets (free, BM ticket link here) for about 4:00 pm (to allow for security lines, cloakroom & maybe a dash to the loo) prior to our prompt 4:30 start-time. We'll wrap up score tallying by 7 pm.
