School term is back in full swing, the leaves are beginning to fall and you’re wondering when it will be acceptable to turn the heating on again. Before you know it, half term will flash before your eyes and Halloween will creep up on you, scary right? But let’s not think about that right now. Let’s think about you and your free time now the kids are back into the books, some special ‘me time’ that you deserve and to have some fun! Treat yourselves this weekend by doing something different and spontaneous that you’ve never done before. We are all for getting outdoors while we can and exploring the never-ending capital, but is there more to it than a simple guided tour?
City Dash
Curious Londoners, how much do you really know the city you live in? Are you wondering if there’s more surprises hiding somewhere and waiting for you to discover them? Well, have we got the best idea for you. Seeing the city on a planned tour is great, but exploring all the nooks and crannies on an epic treasure hunt is better. For the active and adventurous, it’s time to run around, sneak around and work around the cryptic clues to escape the hunt from patrollers. City Dash is a highly energetic and exciting experience that immerses you into a thrilling situation that requires 60 minutes of brains and stamina as you uncover secret hiding places and crack codes to outrun enemy agents. As part of a team, it’s time get into the zone and to work together to create diversions, delegate scouts and lookouts or even make a regrettable sacrifice for the benefit of the team. This street game is very highly recommended with challenging puzzles and quick escapes that will get your heart racing!
City Hunt
For those visiting London for a trip, consider getting to know the capital and its history through City Hunt, a mass treasure hunt for all ages and located in either Elephant and Castle, Blackfriars and Bermondsey, with new locations still to come. Join the hunt and solve the 20-30 clues on your map as quickly as you can to get the highest score possible. Great for tourists, families and even anyone who feels they don’t know London’s culture and heritage very well, now’s your chance to meet London! Remember, no cheating and Googling answers.
Agent November
Fancy yourself as a top secret spy with a fancy suit and fast car destined to save the world? Well this isn’t quite the same thing, but still a very cool way to test your ability in solving crime. Agent November is a 60-minute dash around Euston, hunting an international gang, solving a murder mystery or even uncovering an evil scheme. Whichever mission you choose to attempt, you and your team of 5-15 agents must think and act quickly to catch the culprits and save the day. If you are really feeling daring, why not take a look at the special seasonal games Agent November has to offer. Got the guts to survive the apocalypse this Halloween? The newly introduced Patient Zero mission is an adrenaline filled race for your life as you and your friends must escape the virus-infected arms company by running fast, very fast. Chased by terrifying zombies, you must work as a team to reach the evacuation point and make sure nobody gets left behind. Not for the faint-hearted and high-heels are not advisable! We know it’s a little early to mention the C-word, but Agent November are also taking bookings for an exclusive ‘Christmas Crisis’. Yes, your next mission is to find and save Santa Claus! With a seasonal dinner offer also available, this is the perfect package for a family outing or even a work party.
Pokemon Go
If you have been building up your Pokemon army lately, make sure you’re keeping updated on where the rarest recruits are around London. Rumour has it you’ll find some of the most desirable Pokemon chilling out at popular attractions, such as the Tower of London, Kensington Palace and even the penguin exhibit at London Zoo! Get outdoors and catch the best so you can show off your collection to friends (without telling them how you did it).
From A Door in the Wall to Crystal Maze, test yourself and have some fun this weekend. Be sure to congratulate yourself with a delicious meal or a fresh cold drink afterwards, you’ve earned it! See where else you can explore…
