About
StreetHunt Games turns London's streets into a competitive, app-guided adventure game for families and groups. Players use a smartphone app to navigate between real-world landmarks, solving puzzles, answering clues, and completing challenges at each location. The experience is entirely self-paced — your family starts when you're ready and moves at whatever speed suits your group.
Routes run through some of London's most interesting areas, combining genuine sightseeing with game mechanics in a way that keeps older children engaged without feeling like a forced educational walk. The competitive scoring system means siblings and parents can compete against each other while still moving together, which tends to reduce the usual family-outing friction around pace and interest. Because it's outdoors and weather-dependent, pick a clear day for the best experience.
The app-based format means there's no venue to arrive at — you download, pay, and start from the designated start point. This makes it extremely flexible for fitting around other plans. For families visiting London with kids who are past the phase of pure museum or playground entertainment, StreetHunt provides something genuinely different — an adventure that gets kids excited about exploring the city itself.
The cost is per group rather than per person, meaning larger families get significantly better value per head than smaller groups.

Why Kids Love It
It's a phone-guided scavenger hunt through real London streets with competitive scoring and clues — kids feel like they're actually solving a mystery while walking through the city
Pro Tips from Parents
- Charge your phone fully before you start — the app runs continuously and 2–3 hours of GPS use drains battery faster than expected
- Download the app and do the tutorial the night before to avoid setup delays at the start point
- The scoring is competitive but the experience is fully collaborative if you prefer — decide upfront whether you're playing as one team or competing
What to Bring
- A fully charged smartphone with the StreetHunt app downloaded
- Comfortable walking shoes — you'll cover a meaningful distance
- Water and snacks for the route — stops for food can be planned around the trail
