Turn Your Next Company Outing into an Adventure—with a Dash of Culture

Watson Adventures corporate scavenger hunts use witty, tricky questions in fast-paced games that bring out the best in a city—and the best in you and your teammates. Our team-building hunts have been acclaimed by ABC News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and numerous other media outlets. Since 1999, more than 150,000 hunters have gone on our hunts from more than 1,000 prestigious companies. Contact us for a quote.

How corporate scavenger hunts work

In museums, historic neighborhoods, and other locations, hunters compete to answer questions in hunts designed to:

  • get people relaxed, laughing and having fun
  • foster teamwork and togetherness in a dynamic new way
  • introduce people to fascinating—and often overlooked—places
  • lead to an exciting gathering over drinks after the hunt, which we can help you set up
  • leave you with more money to spend on that party

You’re not hunting for things (put back that Ming vase!) but for answers to tricky and humorous questions about the intriguing places and objects you discover. No previous knowledge is necessary—you just need a sharp mind and comfortable shoes. The game is like a walking tour spiked with caffeine. The team from your company that answers the most questions correctly wins. Typically the game lasts two hours (with about half an hour more for set-up and post-hunt scoring), but the length can be customized to meet your needs.

Build teamwork while boosting morale-through fun

The questions emphasize nimble thinking and, above all, teamwork. They’re crafted to bring out the various skills of each member of your team. A person who’s good at seeing the big picture will get one answer, a teammate who’s good with wordplay will get the next, and someone who is good at navigating may excel at getting the team from place to place. The best teams quickly learn that they must use the strengths of everyone in the group.

A classic scavenger hunt with a twist!

If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt, we have one—with very unusual challenges for things to collect and team photos to take that will exercise your brain and your funny bone. Your tasks may involve strange uses for food, new lyrics for old songs, people in uniform, strangers wearing valuable words, surprising secrets about local landmarks, and more. If you’ve been on scavenger hunts where you’ve had to collect boring things like clothespins and obscure CDs, you’re in for a surprise and a treat.

Each hunt challenges you to find and create fun items, to get creative for Team Photo Challenges, and to find our staffers for a surprise challenge. In select locations we also include some of our famous, tricky questions about fascinating places. And the deluxe edition lets you customize the game to give it a personal touch.

Choose from Two Games for the Best Fit:

The Grab ’n’ Go Classic Scavenger Hunt

This hunt can be played anywhere and is the most cost-effective option. Teams of six fan out to tackle four kinds of challenges:

Items to Find and Create

As in a classic scavenger hunt, you’ll have to locate and create items that will exercise your brain and your funny bone.

Can you create and name an amazing new food by combining two unlikely foods? How about an appropriate trophy for the hunt winners? Three items that rhyme? You’ll be surprised by the results that come from great teamwork.

Team Photo Challenges

We’ll give you an unusual “photo op” to create, and everyone has to get into the picture (except the person holding the camera, of course). We craft the photos to allow room for creativity while also delivering dramatic visuals (and not just tens of shots of people standing around smiling and pointing). You might be challenged to demonstrate a member of your team’s superhuman powers. Or treat a staircase as if it’s a carnival ride. Or eat food in a surprising way.

We can provide cameras and send you the collected photos after the hunt. Or you can use your own cameras—and you can even use the Instagram app if you’d like the hunters to see each other’s photos during the hunt.

The Mystery Message Challenge

Your hunt materials will include a coded message. What does it say? To crack the code, you’ll need to solve three crafty, fun puzzles, involving a few trivia questions, intriguing text or email messages, a musical phone call, and other surprises. Can you piece together the key that cracks the code and unlocks the mystery message?

Surprise Bonus Challenge

The hunters must find the Hunt Host at a specific location to complete a special challenge.

The Grab ’n’ Go Deluxe Scavenger Hunt

Let us tailor the hunt to your needs: We can customize the Grab ’n’ Go Classic challenges to feature anything you want to emphasize or celebrate. We’ll get the information from you and weave it into challenges involving collecting and creating objects, taking team photos, interacting with the Hunt Host and more. You can even customize the Mystery Message Challenge to contain any phrase you’d like the hunters to receive.

Interactive Challenges

We can also customize the hunt to add interactive elements involving smartphones, apps, and social media, including

  • playing with the Watson Adventures app to take a trivia quiz
  • dropping in on Twitter to find a challenge and tweet an answer
  • visiting Facebook to find a photo challenge and post a team photo
  • using Instagram to find and complete a photo challenge
  • checking into a Foursquare location to get clues
  • snapping a QR (quick response) code to access a Web site

—the possibilities are almost endless.

All Grab ’n’ Go Scavenger Hunts are also available in an International Edition, for hunters whose first language is not English. Also available in Spanish. También disponible en español. Editions in other languages are also available.
