Smartphone Urban Treasure Hunt for Teams

Event Format

Prior to the event starting, everyone will get to download the bespoke game app on their phones. With the option to add on a remote facilitator to manage the event, they will explain how the activity will run before splitting everyone up into smaller teams of 4-6 people. Each team will also get to assign their own team name and make selfies for each member.

From here, teams will get to use the app’s interactive map to track down the nearest GPS hotspots. At each hotspot, teams will be faced with a series of trivia questions, tasks and interactive photo/video challenges, earning points for each successful attempt.

With a live scoreboard on the app to keep track of other teams’ progress, those with the highest score at the end of the activity will be crowned the overall winners of the day!

Available Add-ons for your Smartphone Urban Treasure Hunt

How does the Smartphone Urban Treasure Hunt Work?

Hit the streets in your smaller groups and explore the location whilst being steered to unlock GPS hotspots containing a range of tasks, fun interactive photo and video challenges and general knowledge questions. Devising an effective strategy is essential as you’ll be competing against other squads via the live scoreboard and photo wall on the app.

As each hotspot is achieved, your group will be rewarded with virtual scavenger hunt items which can be used to score bonus points at the end.

Once the squads have unlocked all the hotspots and completed the challenges, they come back together to reveal the winner. The winners are the adventurers who have accumulated the most points.

Who is the Urban Treasure Hunt for?

Perfect for businesses wanting to focus on health and wellbeing, or companies looking for an energetic activity in a particular location.

Is the Urban Treasure Hunt okay for large groups?

Absolutely! We can run it for groups between 6-250 in one session. However, if your group is larger just contact us as we have a few ideas for groups over 250+.

You'll break into smaller squads of 4-6 people during the event.

What equipment do we need to run the Urban Treasure Hunt?

Everyone will need to download the app to their smartphone. Please ensure your smartphone is fully charged for the event. Although everyone has the app, one person will be in charge of answering the questions. This will breed teamwork and communication between each squad.
