Double treasure hunt weekend in London

Thinking Bob logoThis little chap is the logo of thinking bob, an organisation in London that organises social events that vary from the cerebral to the celebratory. They send groups to exit games on a regular basis and take advantage of the sheer number of them to very seldom repeat. They also have sent a lot of members to Puzzled Pint over the months, further affirmation that the members are probably your sort of people. You can join for £1 for the first month; continued subscription costs £15/month and covers attendance at many events, though some cost extra.

One such event is the “Game of Phones” treasure hunt coming up at 2pm this Saturday, starting from the Crystal Palace railway station. We’ll head to Crystal Palace park for our latest treasure hunt style game inspired by Game of Thrones. Teams will become houses, dinosaurs to dragons and a simple game could turn into a full blown war. You can expect an awesome clue solving team game taking elements from the show we love and mixing it with the great things Crystal Palace park has to offer – including life-size dinosaurs and maze. You will of course be using your phones for this one but you can expect an array of bonus challenges and suspect characters that make the perfect setting to discover a new part of the city and get to know some new people. Will you be nominated the king or queen of your house? Will you volunteer yourself for the ‘Dayswatch’ and go to the wall? And most importantly can you get the to Iron Phone first?

Although the game will be packed full of game of thrones references you don’t actually need to know the show to play – as long as you enjoy solving puzzles and riddles then this is still for you. The hunt will be followed by a drinking bob social giving you chance to get to know the other teams and see how you did. A few places still remain; tickets cost £8. There are other imaginative, intriguing-sounding thinking bob events coming up, not least a one-night tribute to The Krypton Factor as well.
