There’s just something irresistible about a treasure hunt. Maybe it’s the thrill of the chase, the excitement of cracking clues or the buzz of working together toward a common goal. Whatever it is, treasure hunts have long been a team favourite for a reason.
At GOTO Events, we have a selection of treasure hunt team building activities where the general goal is the same: follow the clues, complete challenges and uncover the treasure before the other teams do. But each one of our treasure hunts is completely unique and professionally designed for teams to strengthen communication, boost morale and share a lot of laughs!
In this article, we’re diving into four of our most popular treasure hunt ideas for adults, for an epic outdoor team building experience. Let the hunt begin!
1. Hunted
Get ready for Hunted, one of our newest and most intense team building events! This isn’t just a game – it’s a high-energy chase where you’ll need strategy, stealth and quick thinking to stay in the running.
Each team get a high-tech tablet loaded with a live GPS map, showing key challenge hotspots. The goal? Navigate from location to location, crack clues and complete surprise challenges to rack up points. But there’s a catch – you’re not just playing the game, you’re being hunted!
If a rival team spots you and snaps a photo, you lose points. That means staying hidden, moving smart and thinking fast. But don’t just play defence – go on the attack! Track other teams, catch them off guard and snap their photo!
From brain-teasing puzzles to hilarious on-the-go tasks, every stop is a new test of teamwork and tactics. And with the leaderboard updating in real-time, the pressure is always on!

When you arrive at the right spot, your next task appears, anything from an augmented reality puzzle to a hilarious video challenge or a brain-teasing riddle. Every completed challenge earns you points and boosts your spot on the team treasure hunt live leaderboard.
But this isn’t just about speed. It’s about clever thinking, creativity and working together under pressure. Every team takes a different path, but only one will claim the treasure (and bragging rights).

3. Charity Gift of the Gab
This is no ordinary team building scavenger hunt – this one comes with purpose!
Charity Gift of the Gab takes all the energy and excitement of a classic scavenger hunt team building and flips it into something meaningful. You’re not chasing gold or hidden clues – you’re on the hunt for real-world items that will make a difference to people in need.
Kicking off with a fun, upbeat briefing and a quick intro to the charity you’ve chosen to support, the event sets the tone for a day that’s both feel-good and full of action. Then it’s go-time: teams hit the streets with a local map, a list of urgently needed supplies and a limited budget. From there, it’s all about your gift of the gab – using negotiation skills, persuasion and teamwork to gather as many items as possible before the clock runs out.
Along the way, there are bonus challenges, unexpected twists and plenty of laughs. It’s fast-paced, hands-on and surprisingly heartwarming. At the finish, every item is donated to the selected charity, so every deal you make and every item you track down adds up to something bigger!
