London Transport Museum is hosting a Flickr scavenger hunt on Sunday 6th July in Covent Garden as part of the events for the London Festival of Architecture 2008. Focusing on the transport network's quirky design features, in a race against time teams of photographers will have to unlock a series of cryptic clues in order to snap roundels, station murals and much more. Have you got what it takes to get all the shots and make it back to the Museum? Prizes for the first team back (with the most correct answers), and - voted by the public - the best team and the best picture uploaded on Flickr.

So the big day arrived on 6 July 2008. 26 Flickr photographers braved the adverse weather conditions to take part in London Transport Museum’s first Flickr Scavenger Hunt. Following a set of cryptic clues and challenges all linked to transport architecture the five teams roamed over the Covent Garden area to capture their targets.

 

 

There were thrills and spills but all teams made it back (just) to the finish line. Most of the clues were deciphered although oysters proved a red herring and Embankment Pier took a bit of cryptic crossword knowledge.

 

The winners on the day of the first past the post prize were Team Elephant and Castle who were duly rewarded with champagne and tin of chocolates. But everyone’s a winner at London Transport Museum so there were goodie bags for everyone that took part.

 

 

There are two more prizes to go and we need your help to decide who gets them.

Check out each teams blog and vote for your favourites. The vote will close at midnight 20 July 2008 and results will be revealed the following day.
