After a successful first weekend, Pokémon GO’s Summer Quest takeover is heading back to BOXPARK Shoreditch on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August. The free event gives players of the hit mobile game the chance to take on a unique in-game quest with exclusive rewards, right in the heart of London.
Anyone completing the first stage of the quest can claim a free coffee from the on-site Pokémon GO Pop-Up. Finish the full quest and you’ll also be entered into a prize draw for a trip to GO Fest 2027.
It’s entirely free to join and open to all ages, making it a great excuse to get the kids outdoors and catch some Pokémon together as a family.
There’s a live element too. YouTube stars Chunkz and Miniminter will be racing across the city playing the game, with the finish line at the Shoreditch site followed by a meet-and-greet.
