Rain Never Stops Play

Treasure Hunting In The Rain

It’s always a shame when it rains on the day of an event but with proper preparation rain won’t stop play and enjoyment. There is a deadly triad that will ruin any experience; wet, cold and hunger. Ideally all should be avoided but, in my experience, people will tolerate one of them. If they are feeling two of them they will complain and if it’s all three they will probably go home or to a place where they can feel better.

With proper clothing (warn people in advance if the forecast looks iffy), umbrellas and regular pubs on the route the event will not be ruined by a bit of rain. Often it adds experiences for the teams. Who doesn’t enjoy dancing with an umbrella and if you can do it as a chorus line all the better!


Themed Treasure Hunts

Can treasure hunts be themed? The answer is yes they can and probably more so than any other corporate event. You can theme to nations, languages, films and even abstract concepts such as Cockney Rhyming Slang. I would challenge someone to come up with a theme that we cannot work with!

They key is to build the theme in as naturally as possible so that it doesn’t feel contrived and take away from the enjoyment of the event. However, a good treasure hunt writer will be able to work with their client to make this work without compromise.

So, your treasure hunt can be themed as as to what to choose it’s as broad as your imagination.


Treasure Hunt Tasks

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.

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.


Corporate Treasure Hunt Events

Corporate Treasure Hunt Events are one of the most popular forms of team building or corporate entertainment. Typically they last for a day or half day and they can be held in a variety of locations including cities, the country and even internationally.

London Treasure Hunts are very popular and and great way to see the sights of this historic city. Themed Treasure Hunts are also popular; have a look at this fantastic spy themed event in Istanbul.
