Hunts

Treasure hunts are ideal corporate events as they are fun, dynamic and inclusive, i.e. any one can take part, not just one particular department.

Building high performance teams at work is an art. How can you get your teams off to a good start? How do they plan and move forward? How can you get them to communicate effectively (so everyone has a say and everyone is heard)? How do they problem solve when they don't have all the knowledge or skills readily available? How do they access the knowledge and skills of their team members? These are just a few of the areas every business must address on the way to harnessing the power and the diversity of its people. One of the ways forward is through a treasure hunt

How Our Treasure Hunts Work ...

Each team has a treasure hunt booklet containing traditional treasure hunting tasks. You must also navigate your team around the city or countryside using a map. For extra points teams take photographs of specific subjects and local landmarks with a digital camera (supplied). To develop planning and decision making in your team, we always set too many clues and tasks for the time available. Teams must select the challenges and the most efficient route to gain optimum points. Heavy penalties are handed out for late arrival back at base so the winning team will have shown flexibility as well as good planning in order to meet the deadlines.

A treasure hunt is a game in which a single player or a group of players try to find hidden articles, locations or places by using a series of clues.

A common and traditional application of the treasure hunt was the Easter egg hunt that was performed on Easter Sunday mornings. Children would find an Easter egg or other Easter gift by reading a clue that was given to them then going to the location of that clue. Sometimes this game is performed as part of children's parties with the final article being something other than the Easter egg.

The idea was expanded to provide a social or fundraising event for local clubs, charities or even groups of people from offices. These were generally organised by individuals.

Gradually, corporate events management companies latched on to the idea that they could be used for effective team building. The treasure hunt evolved further. Treasure hunts were modified to require even more problem solving vision and teamwork. They are still a fun and enjoyable event but have a serious impact on the functioning of a team of colleagues and employees at work. They are not the only team building activity but they are a good way of informally enhancing interpersonal skills in the workplace.

Organising a good treasure hunt takes skill, patience and a good knowledge of the local area. Treasure hunt no-nos are using notices, items that could be moved like old cars in garages that look as if they have been there for decades, pub licesees etc. For car treasure hunts, look for clues close to convenient stopping places. The treasure hunt clues need to cater for everyone, make sure there are some cryptic clues for the treasure hunt veterans as well as some easy clues for the treasure hunt novices.
