Welcome to Team Building Africa's Scavenger Hunt! Our hunts take place in the city of your choice. We come in several days before your event and custom design the hunt using the history, architecture and ambiance of the city. Most hunts take place in historic districts and by the end of the hunt your team will know the city better than the locals. Think of it as a historic guided tour - teambuilding style!
You will be challenged to solve complex problems, overcome obstacles, carefully utilize your limited resources and rely upon your teammates for expertise and support.
Teams, Clues and Codes
The scavenger hunt works for groups from 6 - 1,000. The group is divided into small teams, roles are defined, objectives are clarified and commitments are made. Each team creates a name and a slogan for themselves and then the teams are given their first set of scavenger hunt clues. Each team also gets a "clue kit". These kits contain the essential ingredients needed by the team to break codes, figure out the clues and attain solutions. Clue kits contain clues, magnifying glass, compass, map and additional code-breaking equipment.
Scavenger Hunt Team Building Results
The clues challenge your team to employ a wide variety of problem solving skills: code-breaking, foreign languages, riddles, mathematics, innovation and good old-fashioned detective work. In addition to problem solving skills, the more you utilize team work skills (communication, role definition, encouragement, cooperation and support) the higher your score will be. Because of the way the scavenger hunt is structured, the normal "win at all costs" attitude is challenged. Teamwork wins the day in this event.
Participants have lots of fun with this scavenger hunt and learn valuable experiential team building lessons. The scavenger hunt concludes with each team member setting a specific goal regarding one action they will implement to help their team back at work improve.
Team Building Africa wishes to acknowledge Dr. Clue treasure hunts for inspiring the model and many of the methods used in our scavenger hunts.
