We were musing over Camden's popularity just the other week. Now here's an opportunity to have another look at NW1 under the influence of a treasure hunt and on a mission to photograph its hidden treasures and horny underbelly. Shoot Experience create 'interactive photographic events' that are open to anyone and this one's in partnership with Camden Unlimited, the local business partnership, with an agenda to make Camden cleaner, greener, more inviting... in fact,......

Street artist Slinkachu released four new tiny sculptures into the city to mark the launch of his new book this week and five intrepid hunters from the Londonist team set out to find them in a specially designed treasure hunt. In an afternoon's muggy and damp tramping around, we went from the COSH gallery where Slinkachu's work is on display into the West End, to South Bank and right the way over to Brick Lane.......

Because treasure hunts are proving to be excellent ways to meet new people, re-discover the city you love and generally pass the time in a novel way, we have not one but TWO treasure hunts to tell you about. First up: help look for little people this Sunday!

One such outfit offering a very nicely put together, easy to organise treasure hunts is Treasure Days. There's a variety......

Stitch & Bitch weren't the only knitting collaborative out and about flaunting their needles in public on Saturday. Oh no. Knitters from I-Knit London were knitty treasure hunting. Our roving reporter reports back: Looking for clues at Leake Street Kick-off started at 11 am, with the teams leaving in batches til 12.30. I Knit had helpfully laid out a good selection of brownies which put the teams in a properly competitive spirit, or at least......

Londonist loved Treasure Hunt. It was so exciting. Annika Rice running around in a jump suit, cameraman Graham up her arse and a shiny helicopter to scoot from one end of Wiltshire to the other solving clues, avoiding scary Wincy Willis and hunting for, what was usually rubbish, treasure. Sadly, Treasure Hunt and even its successor, Interceptor (Annabel Croft and nowhere near as good) have long gone but you can relive the thrill of......

Ross got in contact with us to let us know that the registration deadline for the UK Dodgeball Championships (whole teams only) had been extended until Friday. While we had him around we thought we'd ask him a few questions about his adventure sports club, 8th Day. Tell us what 8th Day is all about. It's a sport and adventure club for people who want to make the most of their free time. It's......
