Canal Clue Quest
London's Only Canal Treasure Hunt
Canal Clue Quest
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city this summer and join us for a summer activity like no other. This is your chance to drive your very own team boat in an iPad based treasure hunt along the culturally rich central London canal.
Voyagers will navigate themselves through magnificent scenery along the pre selected route in their very own modern electric boat! The boats are eco-friendly and made from 80% recycled plastic bottles fitted with Torqeedo electric motors and sustainably sourced wood.
Choose between Regents Canal, Paddington OR River Thames, Kingston-upon-Thames. For smaller groups (10-16) Paddington is the ideal location. Guests will see London from a completely different perspective as they cruise past highlights such as Little Venice, Regents Park & The London Zoo. We are excited to make London’s waterways accessible for every corporate group by providing a truly unique canal experience this summer. For larger groups (17-150) guests will explore the idyllic riverside location in Kingston-upon-Thames.
Treasure Hunts
Canal Clue Quest
Each team will be given a full safety briefing including the rules of the waterway. One of our trusted skippers will then join you on board to give you a short demo of how to drive the boat before leaving you safe in the knowledge that you will be avoiding that ‘sinking feeling’. Don’t worry, the boats have a leisurely top speed of up to 3.5 knots (approx 4mph) so you will be safe on the water.
Teams will be issued with the latest iPad Mini before setting out on the Canal Treasure Hunt. Teams will need to navigate themselves along the canal making sure they answer as many questions as possible on the interactive iPad map as possible. Only when the GPS verifies that you are in exactly the right location along the canal will your team be able to activate the hotspot and attempt the challenges!
The challenge is to navigate around the hotspots to crack clues, complete challenges and earn as many points as possible. But please remember to return to the boat basin within the designated time or you will be severely penalised!

Really enjoyable Summer party
Overall, we had a really enjoyable Summer Party. With the help of Charles, Melissa and Ollie everything was planned without a hitch and our entire team had a brilliant day.
Ollie was super helpful. He was approachable, very friendly and was able to gage our team and sure they listened during the safety briefing. He had good humour which made the presentation that bit more fun.
Something different
Something different for the team to do! It was lovely to be able to have the team divided up into small groups they wouldn’t normally work with while having a bespoke quiz to take part in.
The team were incredible and super helpful! They worked so hard to ensure this event could happen and was bespoke to our needs. Pre event, the team were very responsive and eager to help and the onsite team were brilliant too!
Great fun
The activity was great fun, the ipad questions were really enjoyable and we really enjoyed the variety on the ipads of tasks to do and photos to get.
Absolutely amazing time
We did the treasure hunt as a team building event and we had an absolutely amazing time. It was very fun. Only thing I could suggest is to make the game a bit more easy.

Amazing time
We had an amazing time, regardless of the ever-fluctuating British weather conditions! It was impressive, that the questions were not straightforward “Ask Google” questions. The event was very well organised. Thanks to all at Team Tactics!
