The group held a morning meeting in a conference room at a West End Hotel followed by a buffet lunch prior to the afternoon activity. The day was a celebration of recent achievement and a future planning whilst also giving new members of the team a chance to meet all their colleagues away from the pressures of the office.

When lunch was over the group was divided into teams of five and then given a briefing for the afternoon taxi treasure hunt. The first challenge was to discover the names of some of the great historic and cultural locations of London from a set of cryptic clues. When this was done teams were each allocated a classic black London taxi to take them to these famous places using the skill and knowledge of the driver who was involved in his own contest with his colleagues. At the different places the teams had to undertake photographic and scavenger challenges using all their skills and ‘artistic’ resources for which they could gain good bonus points.

The event was timed and the teams had to reach their finish venue within a specific allocated time. The venue was a top West End bar where a private area was reserved so that the teams could enjoy good refreshments and compare notes with a good deal of banter whilst the marks for each team were calculated. The results were announced and reference made to some of the more interesting, imaginative or outlandish offerings and the prizes awarded amidst a lot of audience participation!!
The clients were delighted with the results and sent the following feedback:“Thank you very much for everything you organised, it has been a great success and not much work is getting done as we are all constantly talking about it! The landmarks you took us to and the finds we had to hunt down were brilliant and everyone had a wonderful time.”
