And just like that—bam! Summer’s here, bringing sunshine, outdoor drinks, and the inexplicable magic of team-building. Suddenly, everyone’s smiling, sweating, and spending time outside, their main motivation seemingly being to acquire questionable tan lines.

Whether you’re planning a summer party, an away day, a networking soirée, or a pub crawl so questionable it becomes a cautionary tale, we’ve got the ultimate power couple for you: Canvas venues and StreetHunt Games <3

Get ready to mix a little brainpower with fun, thrills, and as this is England, a pint or two in the sun (or soggy ciders in the rain, if the weather’s feeling petty). Here’s why our deliciously dynamic duo is about to steal the summer spotlight faster than you can say ‘team-building’.

The Game Plan: StreetHunt Games

Basically, to truly understand StreetHunt Games, you’re going to have to use your noggin’. Imagine a scavenger hunt, a murder mystery, and an escape room had a suspiciously gorgeous lovechild that somehow skipped the awkward phase and went straight to brilliant.

The result? London becomes your puzzle-filled playground (but for adults, init?), with cryptic puzzles instead of slides and swings.

It’s Cluedo meets Sherlock meets you, with a side of snacks. Because what’s detective work without snack breaks? Illegal, probably.

Here’s how it works:

1. Choose Your Hunt

First, pick your mystery. Options include:

The Case of Colombia’s Finest: Enter the world of Jim Robusta, a coffee mogul whose shady colleagues hide criminal secrets—solve the mystery of his business dealings and uncover the criminals amongst the chaos. It’s a tale of caffeine, corruption, and mid-hunt pastries. (White powder? Nope, just croissant crumbs.)

Will Breaker: Your mysterious uncle has kicked the bucket (we all miss him dearly), leaving behind a mysterious inheritance (scrap that—yay, he’s gone!). If you can solve his puzzles scattered across Bloomsbury, you’ll secure both the prize and bragging rights.

Both games last 1-2 hours and include optional pit stops for drinks and snacks. Because sleuthing on an empty stomach is a crime in itself. (Detective rule #1: Always stop for snacks. It’s in the handbook. Probably.)

2. Gather the Lads

Split into teams of 2–6 players, with staggered start times to keep the rivalry extra spicy. Armed with the StreetHunt game as your guide, map, and referee (and sometimes your sworn enemy), you’ll explore iconic locations, crack cryptic codes, and prove once and for all who the real geniuses are.

For larger groups (up to 150+ people, I kid you not), StreetHunt handles all the logistics, team setup, and even post-hunt celebrations. And for those who like to go big, their hosted package includes facilitators, prizes, and even a memento video so you can relive your team’s glorious (or horrifically bad) moments.

3. Celebrate (or Commiserate)

Whether you crushed it or failed so badly it becomes legendary, every good adventure deserves a toast. StreetHunt teams up with local venues to give you post-game discounts, so you can laugh, cry, or plot revenge over a well-earned drink.

Why Pair It with Canvas Venues?

Because you deserve a venue as fabulous as your clue-solving skills (or lack thereof).

StreetHunt Games brings out your team’s best qualities: creativity, collaboration, and a healthy (if slightly feral) dose of competition. Pair it with a post-hunt celebration at a tailored Canvas venue to keep the good vibes going into the evening; whether you’re toasting successes, dissecting where it all went wrong (it’s always that guy’s fault), or just enjoying one another’s sweet, sweet company.

StreetHunt’s flexible packages make it easy to tailor the experience to your budget, location, and mood—whether you want a no-frills race to glory or a VIP package with all the trimmings, they’ve got you covered. (Disclaimer: trimmings do not include emotional support.)

Plus, we like to think what we’ve built at Canvas is pretty great. Not only are we London’s leading venue-finding platform (humble brag), but we spend our time directly linking clients with stunning venues that truly tell a story.

From quirky hidden gems to breathtaking riverside views, luxurious ballrooms to epic converted warehouses, we have something for literally every single occasion. Cue toasts on a rooftop terrace overlooking the city.

Now doesn’t that sound lovely?

This is summer fun at its finest. The streets of London are calling, your dream team awaits, and the mysteries aren’t going to solve themselves. Ngl, this is probably the most fun you can have in the sun (or drizzle) without involving actual crime.

Gather your dream team, channel your inner detectives, and cheers to a summer you’ll actually remember—unless, of course, you choose the pub crawl option.
