Team building activity
Information for organisers
Treasure Hunt Cambridge is a great activity for your team-building event, office away day or an activity to bring together remote teams.
We’ve organised hundreds of excellent experiences, catering for groups of 6—200!
How the game works
The game works like a Whatsapp Group chat with a pirate character who leads each team around Cambridge. They have to figure out cryptic clues by finding things in the city.
Everyone in a team can access their link on their own phones. They all see each others' messages just like a group chat.
Demo game: Treasure Hunt Cambridge
Here’s a demo game (open on your phone):

Split into teams of 6
For big groups we suggest breaking into teams of up to 6.
Each team should start 5 minutes apart. That way they aren’t on each others' toes but they’ll see each other at any planned breaks along the way.
Duration & breaks
The game takes 1½–2½ hours depending on breaks.
We recommend planning in a break at one of Cambridge’s excellent venues along the way.
Here’s a map of Cambridge showing the full route (no spoilers!):

Start and end points
The game starts at the front of Great St Mary’s and takes them on a fixed route that we’ve carefully designed.
It ends at Bridge Street.
Make it a competition
When each team finishes, they are awarded a score.
To get a perfect score, they’d need to get every clue right first time with no hints.
As each team finishes, their score will appear on your leaderboard. When all teams are finished, you can refresh the leaderboard to see who won.
We suggest competing on score rather than time as it’s nicer to ṫake your time rather than rushing.
