About this tour

Turn a visit to the British Museum into a team adventure with a clue-led treasure hunt through its remarkable collections. Meet at the Knidos Lion in the Great Court, then set off with a quest booklet, map, pens, and clipboard to guide your search.

Teams of 2–4 explore at their own pace, looking for celebrated objects such as the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon marbles alongside lesser-visited finds, including Korean Buddhas and Viking masks. Solve clues, take team photos, and tackle playful challenges for bonus points. At the end, compare your answers, and stay until the finish for a small, lighthearted prize for the winning team.

This British Museum treasure hunt brings friends and families together through observation, teamwork, and a little friendly competition. Museum admission is not included, so arrange your entry ticket separately. Gather your team and see the collection with fresh eyes on this London British Museum treasure hunt.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.97 from 30 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 13% in London means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in London by this score.
