GeoQuest: The High-Tech
Treasure Hunt
Typical treasure hunts provide
clues and set your team loose to find answers…and so does GeoQuest.
Typical treasure hunts provide puzzles and require creative thinking…and
so does GeoQuest. Typical treasure hunts are just that…typical. But
GeoQuest is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
Your group will experience the first team building adventure powered by
billions of dollars worth of technology. Your team has the coordinates,
but can they work together to find their target? We’ve hidden the
treasure. Now it’s up to you to find it.
Teams of four to five people receive handheld GPS units pre-programmed
with the locations of hidden treasures. The GPS units guide teams to
within 20 feet of their goal. After that, they use their wits and
determination to decipher written clues to find the hidden answers.
GeoQuest gives participants the opportunity to work together to achieve
their goals.
“200 feet. 100 feet. 50 feet. 25 feet. It’s over here! We got it!”
“Where to next? This way. Follow me…”
Points
are awarded for those who find each of the hidden answers. The faster
you find the items, the more points you receive. GeoQuest gives people
the opportunity to work together to achieve their goals. Teams enjoy an
engaging day of “Co-opetition” through cooperation and friendly
competition.
GeoQuest is a problem solving activity in which teams solve clues and
use state-of-the-art Global Position System (GPS) technology to locate
hidden treasures.
The Setting
The program can take place almost
anywhere. We
work with you to select and layout a course that works for your needs or

on a Quest with Teambuilding Treasure Hunts
What Others Think of Our
GeoQuest: The High-Tech Treasure Hunt:
The team had
a lot of fun, met people they don’t usually work with, and learned new
strategies for communicating. Several of my co-workers took the time to
tell me how much fun they had and that they learned a lot more than they
expected. Carla and Dave kept the activities far more interactive than I
imagined and there was a high level of energy throughout the day. It was
a success all around.
Jenny V. Whitmer, Department of Homeland Security
The GeoQuest
event was an incredibly fun, innovative way to build teamwork, creative
thinking, problem solving and a great opportunity for people who don't
know much about our beautiful city to get out and see it. The program
was well run and appropriately tailored to our needs. I would recommend
it to any firm looking for a new and exciting way to build a strong team
atmosphere.
John.Habane, JP Morgan Chase

treasure hunt.

teamwork, creative thinking, problem solving and a great opportunity for
people who don't know much about our beautiful city (Columbus) to get
out and see it. The program was well run and appropriately tailored to

The hunt went
very well and Dave Yunghans was excellent. He worked very closely with

gladly use your services again whenever we would need to hold such an
event, which in all likelihood will be this same time next year.
Matthew Wells, The Linde Group
We really enjoyed the GPS
treasure hunt. We look forward to doing it again and hope that it
continues to be a part of the activities. It was an excellent team
building event.
Gina Bodalski / Michelle Pandolfo, Gloucester County Human Resources
Everyone thought the Treasure Hunts were great. I did the Woodbury
one and we had a ball.
Bob, Sunoco
All four teams echoed similar praises. It's fun, thought
provocative, and challenging.
Louis DiGiambattista, Valero
The feedback I got from our team members was that they were very
interested and had a lot of fun. I think it worked out real well.
