Keep Your Phone Charged
Bring a fully charged smartphone and a small power bank — the app, camera and maps can drain your battery fast.

Use Public Transport
Arrive by tube or bus to avoid parking and to position your team near central task clusters like Upper Street and Exmouth Market.

When challenges require photos near streets, pause and use crossings — the remote host won’t stop traffic for you.
Smartphone with App Installed
Required to receive tasks, submit photos and view live scores.
Portable Battery Pack
Keeps your phone alive through two hours of photo-taking and GPS use.
Comfortable Walking Shoes
Firm, supportive shoes make frequent short walks and turns more comfortable.

Weather in London can change quickly — a packable jacket keeps you in the game.
