Smartphone Pub Treasure Hunt Team Building

Event Format

Before you begin the activity, everyone will have the chance to download the bespoke game app on their smartphone devices. Then, if you’ve opted for a remote facilitator, they will give a brief explanation on how the day will run before you split up into smaller teams of 4-6 people.

When the activity begins, each team will get to use the interactive map to find and head to the first hotspot in the area. Here, you will be issued with trivia questions and exciting photo/video challenges where you’ll need to bring out your teamwork and problem-solving skills in order to score the maximum points on offer.

The app includes a live scoreboard and a chat room so you can communicate between teams. By the end of the experience, the team with the highest score on the leaderboard will be named the winners of the day.
