The benefits of a team building treasure hunt
Typical timeline for a treasure hunt
Each team is given a hunt pack consisting: back pack, map, treasure hunt, digital camera (optional), pencils and mystery envelope. The team is taken on a tour of the town by the hunt. In Brighton for example we visit all the main tourist sites: the Pavilion, Pier and famous Lanes as part of the hunt, we also usually incorporate a visit to a pub or coffee bar!
In our treasure hunts teams compete in an enjoyable and creative atmosphere, working together to find the winning formula. Teams are asked to solve cryptic clues and riddles which guide them around the trail, on their way they may meet characters (optional) who will assist them and be asked to collect various “treasure” articles and complete photo challenges (optional). Teams are scored upon correct answers to the trail questions, number of treasure articles acquired and the time it takes to complete the trail.
As the start of the treasure hunt is staggered, there is also a quiz to complete prior or post to the teambuilding treasure hunt. The points from the quiz are weighted and added to the treasure hunt score. The team with the highest score from both activities wins the challenge.
Our treasure hunts are completely flexible so they can be incorporated fully into your requirements. For example we can add assessors who will join the team to motivate each group and log team dynamics as required.
