Teambuilding Solutions provide a variety of Teambuilding Treasure Hunts from The Great London Treasure Hunt or a Monopoly Treasure Hunt to Time Trial Orienteering or Bespoke Treasure Hunts in any town or city of your choice, we can do it all - anywhere!

We encourage you to embrace your passion for excitement and adventure for your corporate activity day.

Teambuilding Treasure Hunt Options

1. Paper Pack. Your team will be given a bespoke pack and will have to solve cryptic and codex clues to find locations, meet the characters and complete the exciting challenges.

2. GPS Treasure Hunts. Utilising either the participants own phones or our GPS enabled tablets, teams see locations they need to get to. Upon arrival, the Pin is activated via your GPS location and turns into a question or challenge for teams to complete.

Which team will come back with the most answers, points and solve the clues and win the prizes?

Why Choose a GPS Treasure Hunt Teambuilding Activity?

There are a number of reasons why you should choose a GPS Treasure Hunt Teambuilding Activity ahead of other Outdoor Teambuilding Activities, but these are generally the reasons why:

1. Change of Environment

This applies to both the normal working environment and the benefits of going from being always inside to embracing the great ouitdoors or as a change of scene during a long conference schedule.

2. Perfect All Year Round

GPS Treasure Hunt Teambuilding Activities are great any time of year - obviously, during winter (and sometimes Summer!) the correct clothing is a must.

3. Perfect for Conference Energisers

GPS Treasure Hunt Teambuilding Activities are a superb way to insert some energy into a busy conference schedule. Routes in and around venues can last anything from 30 minutes to 3 hours. If you want to give people some energy, this is a great collaborative way to do it!

4. Perfect for Teams of All Sizes

Our GPS Treasure Hunts can truely cater for ANY size of group, from a small team of 6 all the way up to a company of thousands! The software calculates scores as teams progress around their designated routes so by the time the designated time runs out, the scores are ready to share.

5. Convenience

We can run GPS Treasure Hunt events in any location on the planet! It's this flexibility that makes this activity such a great option. Some of the more intersting places we've been to to run Treasure Hunts include Istanbul, Turkey and Champery in Switzerland! Probably our most flexible and convenient Teambuilding Event! We can start and end routes at you precise locvation - either from righrt outside your office door or from the entrance to your venue!

FAQs

A GPS Treasure Hunt Team Building Activity takes the elements of a traditional Paper Based Treasure Hunt format and places it onto a phone or tablet. 
Markers are displayed on the screen of your device which overlay a map of your surroundings. It aslo displays a marker to show where you are on the map to make sure you can orientate easily. As you move around the map and get close to a marker, it pops open a question or challenge for the teams to attempt.

The first answer is convenience! We have some great options that slot straight into your conference or meeting with no set up time to work around. Perfect for when you have an hour or less to fill in amongst your busy agenda. What better way to re-centre your attendees than with a Wellness orientated activity!

The best advice on clothing for attending a GPS Treasure Hunt Event is to dress for the weather! In summer, t-sirt and shorts are absolutely fine, but you may want to include a hat for sun protection and sun cream. A pair of shoes that are comfortable for walking a few miles in are also a good choice. For days where the weather forecast isn't quite so favourable, a good quality waterproof coat and over-trousers will be worth their weight in gold - as would waterproof shoes or boots!

We are 100% mobile meaning we bring your event to you. This can mean using you own offices to host the start of the GPS Treasure Hunt event or we can help you find the right venue that can support your needs - all provided free of charge!

Absolutely, we have worked with clients creating GPS Treasure Hunts specifically to match their conference messages. We can write bespoke questions to include in the hunt that range from specific company questions that support learning to location specific questions that teams need to locate answers to. 
It’s best to start this conversation early on in your planning so that we can work our magic without too much time pressure!

The duration of our GPS Treasure Hunt Team Building Events depends on you - they can last anything from a half hour to 6 hours. As a general rule of thumb, we would suggest two and a half hours as a decent timeframe. 
Speaking to our expert team will ensure we help you choose the activity and duration that’s best for you and your team.

The truth is: It Depends! Primarily, each GPS Treasure Hunt Teambuilding Event cost varies depending on the activity itself, the number of people who will be taking part and if you want to use your own smartphones or if you want tablets provided.
