Treasure Hunts at the British Museum

Culture Quest: The Ultimate Museum Challenge

Location: The Great Court (Basecamp: The Knidos Lion)

Squad Size: 3–5 operatives (Enlist solo or bring your crew)

Your mission begins after checking coats and making a quick dash to the loo. Gather at the Knidos Lion for team strategy briefing and an official dispatch photo.

Once deployed, your team will receive its Culture Quest Team Pack, equipped with a master treasure hunt, a score sheet/clipboard for your scribe, and a map for your navigator. You then have about 90 minutes to scour the museum for hidden secrets.

Your Objective: Track down up to 25 specific treasures from your booklet. To claim standard game points, capture photographic proof of your squad interacting with the collection. But to win?

Bonus Intel: Look closer! Hidden within the text are Bonus Culture Quest challenges. Read carefully, scrutinise treasures and decode the descriptions to score extra points through clever team interactions (& artifact imitations!). Here, learning is lived - with a laugh - not lectured!

The Rendezvous: When your time's up, all operatives return to basecamp for the master answer keys. Stay for the score tallying and prize giving, or take your answers and return to the shadows of the galleries.

Please book your Free entry tickets directly on the British Museum website for 20 minutes prior to our meeting time to allow for lines, a dash to the loo and coat check:
