Why choose Glasgow for Treasure Hunts?

lasgow is a city brimming with character and stories. From its industrial heritage to its transformation into a cultural powerhouse, Glasgow’s streets are alive with inspiration.

As the home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the city boasts distinctive Art Nouveau architecture, offering a visual treat as you explore during a treasure hunt.

Glasgow’s modern vibrancy complements its historical depth. The city’s music scene is legendary, with ties to bands like Franz Ferdinand and Belle and Sebastian, while its arts scene thrives with world-class galleries like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Riverside Museum. These rich cultural layers can be woven into a GPS treasure hunt that’s entertaining, educational, and challenging.

With every twist and turn, there’s a story waiting to be discovered.

With Glasgow Central Train Station, Queen Street Station and the bus station on Buchanan Street, reaching the city centre is easy no matter where your team is travelling from. Furthermore, these convenient travel links allow you to explore the suburbs of Glasgow and the Central Belt.

Ross and the team at Maximillion were an absolute pleasure to work with and played a HUGE part in the success of the Phoenix Leadership UnConference 2023! From the very beginning Maximillion embraced the relaxed feel of this year’s conference and helped bring our vision to life! From a bespoke centre stage to Lego figurines, beanbag seating to branded sticky notes – everything was planned and executed to the highest of standards and myself and the wider team could not be happier! Maximillion have delivered many events for Phoenix Group, they are an extended part of the team and we honestly couldn’t deliver the events like we do without them!

Everything from start to finish was amazing and Jenny kept in constant contact – couldn’t fault Jenny or the company whatsoever. Organisation/Communication was 100% perfect.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic murder mystery and DJ services the Maximillion team provided at our recent Renewables UK Seminar at Cameron House Hotel. It was an evening filled with excitement and entertainment, and Maximillion played a pivotal role in making it a memorable experience for all of us.

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.

Spectra

Fantastic day and really enabled people to get to know each other and have a laugh at the same time. Exactly the aim!

University of Edinburgh
