Treasure Hunt Capers
We give each team a digital camera on our Treasure Hunts and they have to capture specific photographic targets but they also bring back a record of their fun and experiences over the course of the day. It’s funny, on every event one team always ends up in bed together!
Some of the photographs we get are hilarious, check out the reel of shots below. Since the advent of digital cameras and the whole social networking movement people have become much better at taking amusing photographs.

London Trivia
January 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment
We use a lot of interesting facts about London in our Treasure Hunts. We like to combine fun and action with a few interesting facts and, although we call it trivia, they are often quite fascinating.
Did you know, for example, that The Lloyd’s Building was built on the site of the old London maypole? Or that in 1690 during building works the remains of a wooly mammoth were unearthed. There is evidence of inhabitation of the London site going back half a million years and that it has been constantly inhabited for the last 15,000 years.
London is a wonderfully interesting event location.

Treasure Hunt Tasks
November 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Set within the clues of a well written Treasure Hunt will be a series of challenges. Teams will be given a camera and asked to bring back certain pictures, and one which works very well is a reproduction of a scene from a famous film.
Treasure Hunt Task
In this case the team have found a cinema and reproduced the poster outside and the result is really effective, probably because the people look fairly similar to those on the poster (from a distance).
A good Treasure Hunt has plenty of challenges that add to fun of the overall event. The key is to give the individuals in the team the chance to share fun, positive experiences as this is what builds relationships.
Treasure Hunts for corporate groups can be arranged around the UK and Europe with various themes and formats.

London Treasure Hunt
November 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment
The London Treasure Hunt is one of the most popular treasure hunts because so many clients are based in London and it is a fabulous location full of history and interesting sights.
One might assume that a London Treasure Hunt would take in locations such as The Tower of London and Madame Tussauds, however the skill of the writer is to choose locations where there is plenty to see and do but where queues are avoided.
- Fun In London
As with any treasure hunt the real fun is unpredictable and often involves strangers who
want to get involved in the fun. Shopkeepers, passers by and even Policemen (and women) will participate and make some of of the best moments. Once a team approached a couple of Police officers washing their car for the ‘picture your team under arrest’ clue. They managed to get a real arrest warrant for ‘wasting Police time’ and when we visited the client a year later to discuss their next event we found it hanging on their London office’s wall.
It is these moments which pass into a team’s legend and significantly add to their social bond. The London Treasure Hunt is an ideal vehicle to achieve this, we can’t predict what will hapen to you on yours but it will be fun!

City Treasure Hunts
October 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment
City Treasure Hunts are a fantastic way to explore the sights of a city. Capital cities such as London and Paris are obvious choices and the key is not to choose major tourist attractions, for no-one wants to spend their event standing in queues. There are many fascinating off beat places to visit and the experienced writer will ensure that the treasure hunt is filled with these.
Cathedral cities in the UK make excellent locations for a treasure hunt, for example Oxford and Winchester.

Treasure hunts in the country
September 29, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Treasure hunts are a great way of exploring a city but they also work well in the country. The tempo is a little slower but you can run over a greater distance to ensure that there’s is still plenty of challenge. The New Forest is a great location and doing the event on mountain bikes is a wonderful experience. Treasure hunt writers look out for interesting things, for example this plaque hidden deep in a village somewhere.

Meeting celebrities on a London Treasure Hunt

Duncan Bannatyne on a London Treasure Hunt
We were in London yesterday doing a Treasure Hunt for a client starting out of their offices near Covent Garden. They were a great bunch and a lot of fun was had by all, including us.
One of the clues asked to to head to St James’ Park to get a photo of ‘the rarest bird they can find’ (there are black swans and even pelicans in the lake). The team were delighted to bump into the legendary Duncan Bannatyne having a stroll through London’s most beautiful park. He seems to be a charming enough fellow and happily stopped for a photograph, leaving the team delighted to have got their picture of a rare dragon!
Celebrities have been a feature in several of our London Treasure Hunts over the years. London is a thriving city and the perfect location for this highly enjoyable corporate team building event.

Solent Events organise treasure hunts on water. They can arrange events on The Thames in high speed ribs, stopping off on land to hunt for clues. They also have a Land, Sea and Air concept featuring boats and helicopters. Very cool!
