"Goodge Street Tube Station is a historic underground station located in the heart of London. Originally opened in 1906, it was one of the first stations to be built on the Central Line of the London Underground. Over the years, Goodge Street has played an important role in the development of the city and has become a landmark destination for tourists and locals alike.

The station itself underwent a major renovation in the 1920s, which saw the addition of new escalators and a redesigned platform layout. It was also during this time that the station began to gain popularity as a meeting place for local poets, writers, and artists. Many of these individuals would gather in the station’s coffee shop to discuss their work and collaborate on new projects."

Picture Hunts are a great new way to get up to speed with slices of London history while sleuthing around the area.

Everyone is presented with twenty partial photos of objects around an area. Your team mission is to find them. Some well known, some well unknown!

This makes Picture Hunts more interesting and challenging, bringing out the best of your teams detecting skills.

You will also have a map of the area. It will be sub-divided into four sections, P, Q, R, S. Each photo will come from one of these.

Four players max per team, but the lower number teams get a point per player start from the biggest team.

For example, four teams of one, two, three and four. Four player team, no advantage, (the biggest and theoretically the more knowledge between them, except it doesn't always work like that). Three player team, one point start. Two player team, two point start. One player team, three point start.

Scores are always close and around the 15-20 points mark. How many players do you want in your team? There's a dilemma!

The clipboard holder enters one of the letters to note its area location. Dead simple, right? 90 minutes to do the hunt.

We have the usual prizes of chocolate, including some great new varieties.
There is also an equal prize for the funniest team name judged by Sue, my glamorous assistant. Names win prizes too! So there’s everything to play for.

We mark up at the quiz finish point. Tbc.

Hunts are good fun and the proven experience so far is that members get to know each other better after working in teams as you all have to communicate. Great icebreakers. This is what Meetup is all about. Come and join us.

There is a £7 cash/card charge for this event. Pay on the day.
