Treasure Hunt Team Building FAQs
How does a Treasure Hunt work?
Our GPS Treasure hunts involve an onscreen briefing with your group before splitting them into smaller teams and arming them with an iPad featuring their bespoke GPS treasure hunt uploaded onto our award-winning mobile adventures app.
Teams use the iPad to guide them through the city, completing tasks and challenges while exploring the city streets before making their way to the chosen finish location for an exciting finale.
Once everyone has safely arrived, returned their iPads perhaps grabbed a refreshment, we show a highlights reel of the photos and videos the teams have produced during the treasure hunt, which always gets a few laughs! Then it’s onto the prize-giving and announcing the winners and losers of the day. The prizes can be tailored as fun ceremonial medals and wooden spoons or something to provide a bit more incentive, like themed gifts or your own company prizes like a day off or lavish gifts to suit your occasion.

Organising a GPS treasure hunt event in your chosen location is easy with the help of the dedicated events team at Maximillion. Our experienced event creators are here to guide you through the entire process, ensuring you create an unforgettable experience for your team.

Get in touch with us today to start planning your unforgettable GPS treasure hunt!
How long do GPS Treasure Hunt activities typically last?
Most GPS Treasure Hunts are designed to last around two to three hours, although some may be shorter or longer depending on your wider itinerary and objectives of the event. Icorporating an Urban Adventures or a Pub Adventure as part of the treasure hunt will lengthen the event. This duration is flexible to allow you to build in additional experiences and ensure you get the perfect balance for your attendees.
What is the ideal group size for GPS Treasure Hunts events?
Our GPS Treasure hunts work for anything from 10 to 1000+ with groups being split into smaller teams of 5 to 10 people. 6 to 8 people would be our recommended team size.
How do we make the treasure hunt bespoke to our itinerary?
While exploring the city on your corporate treasure hunt, Maximilion can tailor special stops and experiences for you to enjoy along the way and include tasks covering your company values or conference themes. The entire look and feel of the app can be designed to feature your company brand and colour schemes.
Special stops can include a huge variety of options for wining, dining and making the most of a day out with a food or drink tasting stop. Or perhaps a themed experience is what you are after – learn a new skill, meet a character or take part in a live activity featured in your chosen location. Examples include indoor axe-throwing, dance and music workshops, karaoke or visit an immersive museum exhibition – anything is possible.
Maximillion’s expert team can build these into your treasure hunt itinerary and include lunches, short stops for refreshments or unique experiences in the city to keep you entertained and ensure you get the most out of your time in the city no matter the time of year and weather!
What makes a treasure hunt such a good team building activity?
A treasure hunt is an excellent outdoor team building activity because it tests collaboration, communication skills, and problem-solving among participants. By working together to solve cryptic clues and complete challenges, team members strengthen their relationships and enhance their teamwork skills in a fun and engaging environment.
The dynamic nature of treasure hunts encourage friendly competition, which can boost team morale and motivation. As teams explore their surroundings and interact with various hotspots, participants gain a deeper appreciation for their city and its culture, creating an unforgettable team experience.

Thank you to Mike, Ross and Sandy from Maximillion for the team building in the afternoon, murder mystery that evening, Belbin Team Roles next morning, a fantastic team building session in the afternoon and, finally, a great barbecue that evening provided by Norton House. Although some of us were a bit slow of the mark the second day, the same positive attitude and enthusiasm from day one prevailed and I think we all got something out of it. It was clear to me that everyone was communicating and working together better by the end of the afternoon.

Your team on the night for installation were on time, super efficient and gave clear guidance on usage of the games and when I called to say we’d finished early – returned quickly and dismantled with the same efficiency.
Natwest
Just to say the event went brilliantly on Saturday. Had some really good feedback from people and everyone had a great time! Thanks so much for all your help!
Quorum
Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Teambuilding afternoon hosted by Maximillion Events at our Ayrshire premises. This is now the 3rd time we have used their services and will definitely be looking to use them again next year. Such a lovely and professional group of people to deal with!! We had various games with a bespoke package set up for a group of staff members with varying degree of mobility. We did carpet curling (indoors), giant jenga, connect 4, darts, air hockey to name but a few all being done outside near to our foodhall and “refreshments” area. It was perfect, everyone had a blast and the Maximillion team were a joy to work with. Thorough, professional, safety conscious and lots of fun. They looked to enjoy themselves watching us and our very competitive natures shine through. Thank you again to all at Maximillion – you made our day that extra special.

Very well organised in the lead up and on the day of the event. Clear communication throughout! The team delivered a fantastic Highland Games event on the day that everyone enjoyed. Thanks to Mike, Rhys and the team!

Maximillion provided our group with an incredible Scotland experience. We were in town from America for a small wedding at Dundas Castle. Our group RAVED about the events hosted by Maximillion. They said it made them feel (in a short visit) like they had the opportunity to get a real taste of Scottish culture. The planning, implementation and follow-up with the entire staff was seamless and easy. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I can’t think of one thing you could have done better for our group. Thank you so much for everything!
Bonnie Periano
Everyone had a really good time and loved all the different levels and variety that Level-Up brought. Maximillion always provide an excellent event and guide you through the organising process with clarity, confidence and advice.
Davidson Chalmers Stewart
We thought the event was organised and ran extremely well. All of our staff had a fantastic time, great fun! Would recommend Maximillion.
Meraki Talent
Massive thank you to Rhys & Mike for creating a professional and overall enjoyable experience for our team. Throughout the entire process they worked hard to ensure our values and needs were met on the day. The delivery of the events was incredibly well received and I can safely say I would be glad to book with Maximillion again.
