How does it work?

no guide, no app, just WhatsApp

A pub crawl with a treasure hunt inside it. A legendary Shoreditch bartender tore their favourite cocktail recipe into eight pieces and hid one in each of eight bars. Your team finds each pub, finds what's hidden inside, and rebuilds the drink.

  1. Register

    Add your name, your team and your WhatsApp number. One captain's phone plays for the whole team.

  2. Pay & check WhatsApp

    Pay securely by card. A message lands on the captain's WhatsApp with the rules and your booking code.

  3. Meet at Aldgate East

    Send START when you're at the station and the first clue arrives. Start any day from 3pm.

  4. Crack the clue, find the pub

    Each clue points to the next pub without naming a street. Reply with the pub's name or share your location when you're outside.

    +100 points

  5. Find what's hidden inside

    Grab a drink and look around. Answer a question about something you can only spot inside, and you win a piece of the recipe and a fun fact about the place.

    +150 points

  6. Rebuild the lost recipe

    Repeat seven more times. At the last bar you get the full cocktail recipe, your score and your time for the leaderboard.

Where you'll play

your 8 are somewhere on here

From Aldgate East up to where Shoreditch High Street becomes Kingsland Road. These 23 pubs and bars are all in play, and only eight are on your route. The clues tell you which, so if a pub isn't on this map, it isn't the answer.
