Description
Darkness falls across the land, The Midnight Hour is close at hand, The ghouls and ghosts are out to play, With nothing but you to get in their way! Whether it be a trick or a treat, you will be tasked to come up with the most creepy and scary interpretations of our Autumn scavenger hunt clues. Creativity is key, and whomever can give us the most chills will be in for a spooky adventure like no other. But be careful there may be some bumps in the night, so find all the clues and don't get a fright! Explore the hidden gems London has to offer, while competing against other teams. On top of our central London scavenger hunt, all our seasonal scavenger hunts involve an additional list of seasonal challenges, as well the option to play in a seasonal themed game.

When you arrive you will have the opportunity to choose either our classic central London scavenger hunt game, or our seasonal game. Alongside both of these games, you’ll find an additional miscellaneous list of seasonal challenges. So it’s up to you if you want to go all out for the time of year, or mix and match a little festivity with some classic scavenger hunt style fun.

Our classic central London scavenger hunt game, finds teams following a route around some of London’s most iconic sites, while interacting with various landmarks in order to complete tasks and challenges, to earn their team points. If you complete enough challenges in series you will unlock hefty bonus points! Our seasonal games have been designed so they balance evenly against our classic scavenger hunt, meaning any team can win!
Both routes come with the same set of miscellaneous tasks created for the season. These miscellaneous tasks don’t come with any bonus points, but they’re stand alone points value is a lot higher!

If you’re feeling competitive, some well planned tactics, and a careful balance between game sections goes a long way! If on the other hand you’re all about the silliness, then forget the tactics, just strap on your best fancy dress and get ready to have some fun!

BucketRaces 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.

What you need
All you need is a well-charged smartphone more than one per team is advised, and comfy footwear. 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, or seasonal.

The location tasks score the least points; however, completing enough of them unlocks hefty bonus points. Miscellaneous tasks score more points, but they don’t offer any bonus incentive. So choose wisely!

It’s also 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. Any teams who arrive at the finish late will forfeit a cumulative 50 points every 5 minutes.

Tasks Examples
Central London: Read out Shakespeare in front of Shakespeare | Take a perspective photo of Big Ben | Photobomb a selfie in front of Buckingham Palace | Perform a next to Hyde Park's bandstand.

Halloween Miscellaneous: Shake hands with a skeleton | Mummify a team mate |  Get caught in a spiders web | Clown around dressed as a clown

    I haven’t had that much fun in a long time! The tasks were really well constructed and it was great to have to think creatively about how to complete them! I did it with a friend but it was lovely to see families there as well; great fun for anyone of any age. Would highly recommend to anyone.
