Answers.Text: I suppose we can exclude bigger sets (or sets with more than x pieces, with x to define), but there are a lot of small sets (such as the one you mention) which don't qualify, and that's a problem.

  I've had the chance to participate in some "build in the bag" contests at some events. The idea is simple: each contestant gets a small set (usually provided by LEGO for the occasion), and everybody tries to build the set at the same time.
  
  The trick is, the contestants may not open the bag but should build the model inside it. The first to finish wins some additional prize. You can also up the ante, [PLUG](http://www.plug.pt/) did for example [do this underwater](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1lDwVtjZyE).

  So my question is, which sets are known to have all parts in one polybag? Is there any way to find out?

  Brickset has a feature to allow you to search sets by tags, which is incredibley useful as you can find a [full list of Polybag sets](http://brickset.com/sets/tag-polybag).
  
  The list can be sorted in various ways. You can sort by year (descending) to find the newest sets that might still be available to buy, or which polybags have the most pieces and will probably be the most challenging.
  
  Some of these are simply bulk bags of bricks which you can ignore.

  The three largest polybag sets are limited edition from the Master Builder Academy series. These polybags were originally only available in the US as part of the LEGO Master Builder Academy subscription.
  
  The largest polybag set is the [#40178 Exclusive VIP Set](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=40178-1) released in 2017 with 205 pieces and two minifigures.
