London Transport Museum Scavenger Hunt

London definitely has become the place for adventures ever since Banksy created a treasure hunt that took place at the National History Museum. Now the Transport Museum has announced a (more official) scavenger hunt around Covent Garden using flickr.

Teams will be running around Covent Garden on July 6th, following cryptic clues. The first team to complete the hunt wins… almost. This is where flickr comes in the picture. For each answer to each clue, the teams must photograph an object or piece of architecture. The pictures are then uploaded to flickr for judging by the ‘community.’ Points for skilled photographs will also be awarded.

We love the use of the internet to bring life to actives like scavenger hunts. Rumor is, that for this particular scavenger hunt, competitors should be skilled tube travelers, as it promises to be a difficult test of navigation. But that’s all part of the fun, isn’t it? May the best scavengers/photogs win!
