It's time to unleash the adventurer within and get to know the capital like never before!

Contiki Holidays (http://www.contiki.com/) are gathering 18-35's from across London on Saturday 13th July to partake in The Great Contiki Challenge, an afternoon free scavenger hunt event across London designed to take you around the Capital's most loved, quirky and secretive sights. The event kicks off in Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London, WC1B at 11am and there are tons of great prizes up for grabs including Contiki trips to Europe!

Contiki will be giving participants the opportunity to WIN Contiki tours to Europe! But that's not all; prizes will also include tickets to some of London's hottest attractions, vouchers, days out, meals, drinks and many, many more!

So you think you know London? Well think again. The Contiki Challenge will be taking you to parts of London you never knew existed and you'll discover what makes this thriving multi-cultural city just so exciting. There'll be plenty of fun along the way and stop offs to refresh and replenish you as you race against other teams to become champion and win that trip to Europe. So get swotting up on London's street art, quirky sights and hidden gems! You'll be given clues along the way and don't forget to follow Contiki (@contikiuk) on twitter for extra hints and tips throughout the day.

And the fun doesn't stop there. The Great Contiki Challenge will end in a secret South London venue (to be revealed on the day), where an after party will be held with a barbeque and drinks for those who completed the challenge.
