How our hunts work
Can you guess the challenge by the photo?
It's one of the questions we get asked the most — what kind of challenges will I have to complete? While we like to keep our most creative and interesting challenges a surprise, you can expect to move around the city (or museum or wherever you have your hunt) and interact with locals and the world around you.
To design our challenges, we draw on two things:
- Social science research on team building.
- What's going on in the world right now.
Want to have teams learn more about each other?
In that case, we might have them complete a challenge where they have to find something "new" — then talk about how it feels to start a new project. Sometimes we ask teams to tell stories (like how you got your first name), and the team votes on the best story and you take a group photo, with the best story team member at the center. (To learn about some of the innovative ways we use scavenger hunts to build organizational culture, check out What We Do.)
Maybe you just want to blow off some steam
In that case, we create challenges based on a variety of cool things that get people moving, talking and laughing: local history, pop culture quizzes, finding a location based on a cryptic description or asking a stranger for their favorite family recipe.
Most teams want a combination of both. So we work closely with our clients to make sure that we design a hunt that meets their goals, both as a good use of their time and as an event where everyone has fun.

We design challenges that work best for your group, whether they're introverts or extroverts, executives or interns, or some combination of both.
