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.

Event:

The Swimming with Sharks Scavenger Hunt

Venue:
Adventure Aquarium

It’s sink or swim on this hunt...

through the state-of-the-art Adventure Aquarium, featuring a wide array of exhibits, environments, and surprising sea creatures. Highlights include Penguin Island, the toothsome Shark Realm, the bizarro deep-sea creatures of the Jules Verne Gallery, the technicolor Caribbean Currents exhibit, the gigantic, 760,000-gallon Ocean Realm tank, and the Amazonian inhabitants of the roaring Irazu Falls.

You’ll search for answers to such questions as...

• Find a display on Caribbean Currents. If a recluse here needs to hit the bottle, what is it lacking? Answer: A hermit crab will use a bottle if a shell is unavailable.

• Find a bird that, given its name, seems always ready for battle. If you were dating one of these fowl females and took her out to dinner, what would you do to really impress her?  Answer: A helmeted curassow male will let a female eat from his mouth.

• Find the creature here you’re mostly likely to find in your house as an unwanted intruder. You might develop some sympathy for it when you answer this: What do the females do once that affects them the rest of their life? Answer: Female cockroaches have sex once and then stay pregnant the rest of their lives.

Please note that we left out clues and directions in the questions above. The questions are designed so that you can find the answer only when you are in the right spot and looking at the right thing. (Sorry, Googlers!) You don’t need any previous knowledge to triumph—you just need good teamwork and comfortable shoes!

A variety of options to suit your group

All in all, this is a great setting for an unusual 90-minute hunt. You can add Team Photo Challenges to spur creativity and have souvenirs of your adventures. We can also customize the hunt to fit your particular goals. You can even couple your hunt with a catered meal, which you can enjoy while taking in the Philadelphia skyline across the Delaware River. The aquarium is located on the Camden Waterfront, near the Ben Franklin Bridge.
