Pre-PERE Event | Clues, Competition, and Charity in Covent Garden - LONDON

London

UK and Channel Islands

Ready to put your teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills to the test?

Kick off your Pan European Regional Event experience with GEO for an evening of clues, competition, connection and giving back in the heart of London.

Starting at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery London, teams will head out into iconic Covent Garden for a fast-paced treasure hunt, tackling clues and challenges, earning points and competing for the top spot along the way.

It’s a chance to explore one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods while meeting and connecting with fellow GEO attendees before PERE gets underway.

Compete for a cause! There’s an even bigger goal behind the competition.

We’ve teamed up with ShareGift, who will generously make a donation of up to £5,000 to WaterAid, with the final donation linked to the collective performance of participating teams.

The better we do, the more we raise! Whether you’re coming to win, explore London or simply meet fellow members of the GEO community ahead of PERE, this promises to be a fun and energetic start to your event experience.

Team up. Explore. Compete. Make a difference.
