Introduction

Because building high performance teams at work is a puzzle.

Just how do you get teams get off to a good start? How do you plan, strategize and innovate as a team?

How do you leverage the knowledge and skills of your team members while working with the diversity of personality and communication styles?

How do you encourage people to work together across departments and divisions? 

These are just a few of the questions every organization must answer on its road to harnessing the power and the diversity of its people.

During treasure hunt, you'll actively turn teamwork into results -- learning new team techniques for reducing errors, increasing production, inspiring innovation and boosting your bottom line. And you'll do this while solving amazing, mind-boggling codes and puzzles on the various locations in our team building packages.
Our hunts, like your business, are all about puzzle solving. To reach each fascinating, little-known, mystery location in the area of your choice, you'll have puzzles to solve, codes to decipher, and secrets to unlock. In short, we throw the whole kitchen sink at you (figuratively speaking, of course)!

Great clue writing, however - where the clues are intricate, sophisticated, and witty, neither too easy nor too hard - is really an art form. You will engage both your minds and your bodies in solving the puzzles of teamwork, including such vital business team building issues as brainstorming, problem-solving, team communication, style differences, and perhaps most of all, cross-team collaboration.
And you'll have a ton of fun in the process.
What exactly is a treasure hunt?

Our treasure hunts can be standard program or  tailor-made teambuilding activities that take place in jungle, parks and city neighborhoods, on college campuses, at corporate compounds - anywhere.... you want to go and have fun while learning. Part teamwork development seminar, part irreverent walking tour, our low-impact treasure hunts emphasize team building, problem solving, time management, creative word play, and brains over brawn.

Puzzling Adventures for Creative Minds

Our treasure hunts will be programmed  depending on the level of complexity involved in the planning and same-day presentation. Programs can be customized to your company's event and may include specialized information about the organization, as per your requirements.

Leading Your Team in the Right Direction - Orienteering Treasure Hunt

The Treasure Hunt for teambuilding conferences that fosters group effectiveness in a unique way. Based on the Scandinavian (and new Olympic) sport of Orienteering where individuals use a detailed map to find flags on the forest, The Treasure Hunt is driven by a custom-made map of your conference center.
The object is to find the key to the treasure-filled chest. The group soon realizes that the only way to accomplish this goal is to work together. The key, which is hidden somewhere on the property, can only be found by locating clues that are circled on their maps (a tree, a column, a statue, etc.) When assembled these clues will reveal a final riddle.

The large group is divided into heterogeneous sub-groups each of whom has its own set of clues to find. Clues can be "trivial pursuit" and "Jeopardy" style questions. We can also add some questions about the company. Some clues can only be acquired when the group completes a "challenge" – a fun test of the team’s mettle. In turn, each sub-group’s immediate goal is assembling their part of the riddle.

All sub-groups must work together in the final stage to find the key. The excitement builds as the entire group seeks out the key. And since all contributed to the search, all get a share of the treasure, which can be a token or memento of the seminar, possibly a T-shirt emblazoned with the current slogan of the team.
The activity can be made more physical or more cerebral depending on your needs. Typically, Treasure Hunts last several hours. However, some firms prefer a full day that centers around traditional orienteering in a local forest. While the activity is best suited out of doors, we can have alternate rain sites within your hotel or conference center.




What is Orienteering?

Orienteering is a sport in which orienteers use an accurate, detailed map and a compass to find points in the landscape. It can be enjoyed as a walk in the woods or as a competitive sport.

A standard orienteering course consists of a start, a series of control sites that are marked by circles, connected by lines and numbered in the order they are to be visited, and a finish. The control site circles are centered around the feature that is to be found; this feature is also defined by control descriptions (sometimes called clues). On the ground, a control flag marks the location that the orienteer must visit.

To verify a visit, the orienteer uses a punch hanging next to the flag to mark his or her control card. Different punches make different patterns of holes in the paper.

The route between "controls" (refers to the flag or the site) is not specified, and is entirely up to the orienteer; this element of route choice and the ability to navigate through the forest are the essence of orienteering.
Most orienteering events use staggered starts to ensure that each orienteer has a chance to do his or her own navigating, but there are several other popular formats, including relays and events in which the orienteer must find as many controls as possible within a specified time.
Four Stages of Team Development

When a group of people are first formed into a team, their roles and interactions are not established. Some individuals may merely act as observers while they try to determine what is expected from them while others may engage the process immediately. There are many models that describe team developmental progression. They are similar and suggest that the process occurs in four predictable stages. Each stage is characteristically different and builds on the preceding one. The implication is that all teams must develop through this predetermined sequence if they are to be fully functioning teams.


Stage 1: Forming

Stage 2: Storming

Stage 3: Norming

Stage 4: Performing


Stage 1: Forming

The Forming stage of team development is an exploration period. Team members are often cautious and guarded in their interactions not really knowing What to expect from other team members.

  • They explore the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

  • Behaviors expressed in this early stage are generally noncommittal.

Some questions raised during this stage of development are:
  • Do I want to be part of this team?
  • Will I be accepted as a member?
  • Who is the leader?
  • Is the leader competent?

Stage 2: Storming

The Storming stage of development is characterized by competition and strained relationships among team members. There are various degrees of conflict that teams experience but basically the Storming

stage deals with issues of power, leadership, and decision making.

  • Conflict cannot be avoided during this stage
  • It is the most crucial stage the team must work through.

Some questions raised during this stage of development are:
  • How will I seek my autonomy?
  • How much control will I have over others?
  • Who do I support?
  • Who supports me?
  • How much influence do I have?

Stage 3: Norming

The Norming stage of team development is characterized by cohesiveness among team members. After working through the storming stage, team members discover that they in fact do have common interests with each other.

  • They learn to appreciate their differences.

  • They work better together.

  • They problem solve together.
Some questions raised during this stage of development are:
  • What kind of relationships can we develop?
  • Will we be successful as a team?
  • How do we measure up to other teams?
  • What is my relationship to the team leader?

Stage 4: Performing

The Performing stage of team development is the result of working through the first three stages. By this time, team members have learned how to work together as a fully functioning team-

  • They can define tasks.

  • They can work out their relationships successfully-

  • They can manage their conflicts.
  • The can work together to accomplish their mission.


 NOTES
Forming
In the first stages of team building, the forming of the team takes place. The team meets and learns about the opportunity and challenges, and then agrees on goals and begins to tackle the tasks. Team members tend to behave quite independently. They may be motivated but are usually relatively uninformed of the issues and objectives of the team. Team members are usually on their best behavior but very focused on themselves. Mature team members begin to model appropriate behavior even at this early phase. Sharing the knowledge of the concept of "Teams - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing" is extremely helpful to the team.

Supervisors of the team tend to need to be directive during this phase.

The forming stage of any team is important because in this stage the members of the team get to know one another, exchange some personal information, and make new friends. This is also a good opportunity to see how each member of the team works as an individual and how they respond to pressure.

Storming
Every group will then enter the storming stage in which different ideas compete for consideration. The team addresses issues such as what problems they are really supposed to solve, how they will function independently and together and what leadership model they will accept. Team members open up to each other and confront each other's ideas and perspectives. In some cases storming can be resolved quickly. In others, the team never leaves this stage. The maturity of some team members usually determines whether the team will ever move out of this stage. Some team members will focus on minutiae to evade real issues.

The storming stage is necessary to the growth of the team. It can be contentious, unpleasant and even painful to members of the team who are averse to conflict. Tolerance of each team member and their differences needs to be emphasized. Without tolerance and patience the team will fail. This phase can become destructive to the team and will lower motivation if allowed to get out of control.

Supervisors of the team during this phase may be more accessible but tend to still need to be directive in their guidance of decision-making and professional behavior. The groups will therefore resolve their differences and group members will be able to participate with one another more comfortably and they won't feel that they are being judged in any way and will therefore share their own opinions and views...

Norming
At some point, the team may enter the norming stage. Team members adjust their behavior to each other as they develop work habits that make teamwork seem more natural and fluid. Team members often work through this stage by agreeing on rules, values, professional behavior, shared methods, working tools and even taboos. During this phase, team members begin to trust each other. Motivation increases as the team gets more acquainted with the project.

Teams in this phase may lose their creativity if the norming behaviors become too strong and begin to stifle healthy dissent and the team begins to exhibit groupthink.

Supervisors of the team during this phase tend to be participative more than in the earlier stages. The team members can be expected to take more responsibility for making decisions and for their professional behavior.

As team members get to know each other better, their views of each other begin to change. The team feels a sense of achievement for getting so far, however some members can begin to feel threatened by the amount of responsibility they have been given. They would try to resist the pressure and revert to storming again.

Performing
Some teams will reach the performing stage. These high-performing teams are able to function as a unit as they find ways to get the job done smoothly and effectively without inappropriate conflict or the need for external supervision. Team members have become interdependent. By this time they are motivated and knowledgeable. The team members are now competent, autonomous and able to handle the decision-making process without supervision. Dissent is expected and allowed as long as it is channeled through means acceptable to the team.

Supervisors of the team during this phase are almost always participative. The team will make most of the necessary decisions. Even the most high-performing teams will revert to earlier stages in certain circumstances. Many long-standing teams will go through these cycles many times as they react to changing circumstances. For example, a change in leadership may cause the team to revert to storming as the new people challenge the existing norms and dynamics of the team.

Working on Your Team Building Budget

It is true that team building activities use up a certain amount of cash from a business organisation's current assets. Nevertheless, because these events are vital in building relationship and communication of staff and in motivating employees, finance officers of companies should allocate funds that can be utilised for activities focused in employee welfare.
Health Benefits of Treasure HuntsDo you know that with treasure hunts, you are not only moulding good relationships among your employees, but you are also promoting wellness among them? As we all know, this event requires a great deal of physical activities that serve as a challenge to all participants. Indeed, it only goes to show that anyone who engages in scavenger hunts will be able to get his own dose of exercise. Imagine all the walking and running involved during this activity. Going from Point A to Point B helps the hunter lose calories and maintain his weight. In addition to that, he will also be able to advance his breathing and enhance his stamina.

Mental and Physical Readiness
Another thing that you should prepare before your big trip is your mental and physical readiness. Take enough rest and get sufficient sleep. Do not go out to hang out with your friends or attend a party until the wee hours of the morning. If you do not want to feel restless and out of sync on the day of your team building, you should bear the aforementioned things in mind.


Delayed Gratification

Treasure hunts not only play up on the prospect of finding something wonderful, it also makes the journey going there challenging and gratifying as well. After all, a person experiences the greatest satisfaction if he or she knows that he or she earned what he or she found after so much hard work. In the case of treasure hunts and scavenger hunts, finding the treasure becomes icing on the cake when participants have gone through the grueling process of exercising their mind muscles to solve the clues given to them.

For participants, it may seem easy to hide items. Those who have not experienced organizing a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt yet may think that all the organizers need are some bulky pieces of furniture, rocks, foliage, or other similar things that can conceal a clue or an item. In truth, organizers do have a hard time trying to find ways on how to hide something for the game. Not only are they responsible for picking the hiding spot, they are also responsible for viewing that spot in a less than mundane way so that they can conceal it through words.

This takes a certain amount of creativity on the organizer's part. The game is successful if the organizers have given the participants enough of a challenge while still making it fun.


Treasure Hunt Clues

There are a number of ways to conceal items, and there are also different methods of providing clues. Four of these will be discussed below.

  1. The Map. Maps have always been part of treasure hunting lore. Pirates relied on browning, crumpled maps where "X marks the spot" of where the treasure is hidden. Treasure hunting can also make use of maps as well. Organizers are well-advised to equip their participants with compasses to understand the directions that are indicated on the map. In making maps, make sure that latitudes and longitudes are properly represented, and try to make the map as accurate as possible when scaling down the sizes of the landmarks. To draw maps, organizers may want to have a compass with them while drawing so that they can make the directions as accurate as possible. For added feel, tear off the sides of the paper, wipe white paper with a used tea bag, crumple it, and leave it overnight. When you unfurl it the next day, it will look like an age-old map.  
  2. The Riddles. Rhymes are another way to leave clues for participants of either treasure hunts or scavenger hunts. Rhyming words make the clue sound pleasing to the ear, and thus easier to remember. In addition, the strict rules of rhyming allow organizers to get creative in concealing the ‘identity' of the hiding spot. Rhymes and riddles are present in every culture in every country. It helps to make your own, but look to other riddles for inspiration. Make sure that the words you use are appropriate for the age of your participants. Ten-year-olds may not know what the words like "exacerbate" mean.  
  3. The Photos. Modern technology has caught up with this age-old game. Photographs are becoming increasingly popular as clues for the treasure hunting. Because a person's brain is used to seeing things at the macro level, it might get disoriented when presented with an aspect of an object that the brain tends to overlook. Thus, it proves to be challenging for participants to figure out what the object in the photograph actually is, or what part of the designated area can the object in it be found. This is perhaps the simplest way to leave clues, since you only need to have a clear idea of the hiding spots and your good old camera nearby.  
  4. Others. Literally, you enlist the help of other people. You can ask these people to be like outposts where each participant (or group) should go. They can ask the group to perform a task, and after that, hand over the next clue or the name of the next person where they should go to. This is an entirely novel way of scattering and ‘hiding' clues, inspired by earlier pirates' interaction with villagers or towns that they have been to. For the organizer, that means decreased responsibility as well, since you have a few more heads to help you with thinking.

These ways to hide treasure hunt clues are the generic kinds, and they can evolve into different variations depending on the theme of the hunt and what the game hopes to achieve. It will be no surprise if the game still stays even until the time of our great-great-great-grandchildren, but that only proves that treasure hunting - and the thrill that comes with it - can outlast any man's lifetime.

Working on Your Team Building Budget
It is true that team building activities use up a certain amount of cash from a business organisation's current assets. Nevertheless, because these events are vital in building relationship and communication of staff and in motivating employees, finance officers of companies should allocate funds that can be utilised for activities focused in employee welfare.
Health Benefits of Treasure Hunts
Do you know that with treasure hunts, you are not only moulding good relationships among your employees, but you are also promoting wellness among them? As we all know, this event requires a great deal of physical activities that serve as a challenge to all participants. Indeed, it only goes to show that anyone who engages in scavenger hunts will be able to get his own dose of exercise. Imagine all the walking and running involved during this activity. Going from Point A to Point B helps the hunter lose calories and maintain his weight. In addition to that, he will also be able to advance his breathing and enhance his stamina.
Another thing that you should prepare before your big trip is your mental and physical readiness. Take enough rest and get sufficient sleep. Do not go out to hang out with your friends or attend a party until the wee hours of the morning. If you do not want to feel restless and out of sync on the day of your team building, you should bear the aforementioned things in mind.
We have a wide range of Treasure Hunt venues with prepared treasure hunts. If your preferred venue is not here, just call us and we can write you a car treasure hunt or on foot treasure hunt for wherever you want. ...
The hardest part of a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt is the preparation. You need to make the time to visit the location several times, plan alternative routes, look for points of interest, take the photos, write the clues and add the photos, check the timing and print off copies for each team. You then need to prepare the answers and possible alternative answers too and make sure that clues and answers are permanent!

So that is why you should turn to one of our ready prepared treasure hunts. It will save you a lot of time and stress. You specify what you want from your hunt  Talk to us and we will provide a bespoke hunt - don't for one minute imagine that you have to have an off-the-shelf treasure hunt that is the same as everyone else.

The corporate treasure hunts are managed by a professional team who have been involved in corporate events planning and delivery for many years - you will have a slick event at which you can take a back seat and really relax into it. Your staff will have a fun time in an atmosphere that is conducive to team building.

Teams lie at the heart of corporate success. Profitability depends on team work.

Whether these are management teams, sales teams or the team in the office, you will find effective teams in the most profitable organisations. But these teams don't just function well internally, they connect with each other - we have seen many companies in which people from different departments hardly speak to each other! And when they do, it is usually through the managers. So how can you ensure that your workforce is contented, connected and devoted to the company?
Corporate entertainment, fun days and stealth team building is the answer.

Corporate entertainment and stealth team building is of benefit to all sizes of company. Including the management on a corporate entertainment day will help to break down barriers and allow you staff to overcome obstacles in the work place. It is not possible for individuals to perform to their potential unless they have a good team and work environment so the creation of a team atmosphere is very important.

But what is stealth team building? Essentially, it is team building without ramming it down people's throats. Pick the right type of team building activity and the right provider and team building is corporate entertainment. The events should motivate and challenge the delegates, using the skills the need to function effectively as a team - communication, encouraging each other, lateral thinking ... Do this enough and it becomes second nature. The teams for the event should be randomly picked so that employees get to interact with people from other departments, management etc. There should be some worthwhile reward for the victorious team.

OK, now what sort of corporate entertainment events are the best? Conventional barrel and plank activities, stacking crates and so on are great for a few minutes then people just end up standing around whilst the dominant ones direct and do everything. Same with outdoors types of activities, there is a load of safety to get through, boring the socks off everyone and not serving any team building purpose ... then you have to watch for ages as one by one the rest of the company abseil down a cliff or off a bridge. Wow, exciting for about 30 seconds! Motorised events are great fun but again there is the involvement aspect, or rather lack of it.

Good solutions are treasure hunts and scavenger hunts, especially on foot and in cities or towns as the teams stay together for the duration of the event and are also continually occupied. Then there are the silly photographs, tasks and shopping lists to add the fun element. The successful team will have planned, communicated, thought laterally, negotiated and been involved from start to finish.
