The Game: It is now an undisputed scientific fact: everybody everywhere loves a good scavenger hunt. Each of our own highly original versions is completely customized to mesh with a specific conference, meeting or management agenda. This is a competitive event that always goes over extremely well, regardless of the theme.
We typically begin with a briefing by your facilitator. This person often appears in character, helping to set a fun tone right from the very beginning. Generally we warm everybody up with one of our popular Ice-Breaker activities, an effective way to get everyone in the mood for play and competition. Next we divide everybody up into teams, supplying each team with the essential tools of the scavenger trade: official rules, answer sheets, maps, Polaroid or digital cameras and more.
Depending upon the theme of your conference, the group can search for trivia, clues, photo opportunities and more. We can also arrange for your teams to encounter hilarious characters along the way - anything from pirates to astronauts to archaeologists.
It's impossible to overstate the importance of tailoring your scavenger hunt to help underscore your own goals. In fact, the fee for this event covers a full scouting day to custom-write the event for your specific location and theme.
Just how flexible can we be? Here are a few examples of customized hunts we've created for companies large and small.
