Teambuilding is an undisputed way of improving the cohesion and efficiency of professional teams. A treasure hunt game, in particular, can be an excellent idea for stimulating cooperation between participants while having fun. Here’s how to organize such an event for your company, and how TeamBooking can help.

Why choose a treasure hunt as a teambuilding activity?
First of all, it’s essential to remember that the primary aim of teambuilding is to strengthen the bonds between team members. To achieve this, it’s essential to create a playful environment conducive to exchange, without hierarchical pressure or unhealthy competition. The treasure hunt game meets these criteria perfectly, thanks to its well-defined structure:
- Participants are divided into teams, encouraging them to work together.
- Each team must follow a precise path (to progress through the game), highlighting complementary skills (reflexes, analytical skills, communication…).
- The final objective, the treasure, is shared by all, creating a collective challenge rather than one focused on the individual.
What’s more, a treasure hunt game can easily be adapted to a wide range of contexts and themes, making it possible to tailor the experience to the specific needs and characteristics of each company.
Key stages in organizing a successful treasure hunt game
Define educational objectives
Before creating the scenario and the puzzles, it’s important to identify the educational objectives your company wishes to achieve through this event. These may concern, for example, internal communication, stress management or decision-making.
Create the scenario and puzzles
The scenario must reflect the objectives set out above, and highlight the company’s values while remaining entertaining. The riddles should call on different skills and branches of thought (logic, creativity, general knowledge…), so that all participants have the opportunity to contribute.
Planning the venue and equipment
Depending on the size of the event and the number of people involved, you may need to choose a sufficiently large, well-equipped space (sound system, signage, etc.). You’ll also need to provide the necessary documents (maps, clues, instructions) and accessories (costumes, objects).
Organizing the day’s activities and proceedings
Time management is crucial in a treasure hunt. It’s important to plan the various stages (welcome, briefing, game progress, debriefing, etc.) and to ensure dynamic entertainment throughout the day. Don’t hesitate to call on professional animators for an optimal experience.
