Itinerary
Families, Individuals and groups meet within the British Museum for a Treasure Hunt around the UK's most visited attraction. After a mission briefing by your Culture Quest host, teams (of 2-4 people) are dispatched with their Culture Quest booklet to find and photo themselves with as many pieces of treasure as possible within the given time. Light-hearted bonus challenges are embedded in your hunt, requiring engagement, interaction - and laughs - within the "World's Museum". After 90 mins-2 hours of hunting we regroup for a sprightly prize-giving ceremony. The treasure hunt intentionally includes more treasures than you can find, in case you want to return to the galleries after your hunt for a leisurely, yet still targeted visit. Including treasures from Parthenon pediments to Egypt’s Rosetta Stone, Viking chess pieces to lost worlds of Mesopotamia, Mexico, and the Far East — this is your passport to the past! And after all, who doesn’t want to vie for museum glory?

Daisy de Plume’s Culture Quest at the British Museum is amazing - definitely the most fun you’ll ever have at a museum! Whether you’re an art history aficionado or a complete novice these treasure hunts are for everybody. Both entertaining and educational you’ll learn fascinating facts about the exhibits without even knowing you’re doing it - the best way for sure! Great conversation starter at your next dinner party - we’re still talking about it! Can’t recommend highly enough.
A perfect family day out! kept kids and adults engaged the whole way through. Been to the british museum before but never like this! A whole new way to engage with history.
Had a wonderful time at the British Museum at the weekend. The activities and treasure hunt was a really fun way to explore the museum, and I found myself learning a lot more about the artefacts through this interactive style. Our host Sophie was extremely friendly and helpful with the quest. She was proactive in helping us out as we went around the museum. Thank you to her and CQ
My time spent with Culture Quest at the British museum was an absolute blast. I did this tour on a visit to London from Paris with my brother, and I totally recommend it, it’s fun and educational.
It was such a fun experience - a great way to discover the British Museum. I highly recommend Daisy’s tour!
I know Daisy through another group and she let me join for free. I was with a group of adults, so it was not geared towards us but we still had a lot of fun! The museum was crowded but we were still able to navigate around it fine. It also makes you really pay attentioon to certain details that you would not otherwise notice (such as pieces of trivia). The experience takes around 2-3 hours, with the first 30 minutes being of instruction. They were explained well and it was easy to follow with the sheets we had to fill out. Overall, the experience was fun and it is a great activity for families with small children.
