Treasure Hunt - A True Team Building Event
A Treasure Hunt is a map-based puzzle that a participant or the entire team must solve. As in the workplace, smaller teams must succeed at their tasks before the entire company can reach its goal - opening the treasure-filled chest!
Derived from the Scandinavian activity of Orienteering, where participants find flags in the woods with a map and compass, the Treasure Hunt uses a custom-made map of the conference center (indoors and outdoors) that leads teams to trivia questions, riddles and group adventures.
The clues:
These are usually a visual, described through a metaphor or a cryptic riddle which the team or the individual need to decipher before proceeding to the next level or point in the treasure map.
The Map:
It is popular to use non linear area maps with directional bearing read by use of a magnetic compass. The map may either provide all the riddles & clues, hence run on autopilot or may only be one which reveals all the clues and riddles one after another through contact with a central control unit.
Custom Made Corporate Adaptations:
Treasure Hunts have been widely used in Team building Events to provide focus on a central corporate theme, (say vision, mission, market segment, strategy, target etc) to provide experiential understanding and reinforce significance of the same. Every riddle, puzzle or clue, in such adaptations, connect to or act as a reminder of messages which pertain to the central theme.
Consultation and Conduction:
We, FRET Solutions, provide consultation in designing, formulating and conducting and supervising such Treasure hunts. This would be limited to understanding clients need, providing basic concept, road map design, the riddle and clues, providing a process flow, training of coordination staff and over all supervision by providing one or more (as the need may be) facilitator/supervisor during the event.
We can also provide a complete turn-key solution which would include providing necessary equipment like printed maps, compass, radios and even transport in some cases, (Bikes, Scooty, cars, horses, boats!), manpower for coordinating the events, facilitation material, banners, posters, awards etc.
