Challenge Types

-
Photo Challenge
Take a picture doing something specific at a location - trying to push the luggage cart through the wall to platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station in London, throwing a coin into Rome's Trevi Fountain, or trying to make a guard at Buckingham Palace laugh.

-
Discover Challenge
(coming soon)
Discover something new and surprising - what you find here will vary greatly. The only constant is that it will always be a surprise! Be prepared to answer a question to complete the Challenge.

-
QR Challenge
(coming soon)
Using the Challenges mobile application, find and scan the QR code to complete the Challenge. QR codes might be out in the open as part of an existing display, or covertly hidden for extra stealth.
