GeoQuest: The High-Tech Treasure Hunt

Typical team building 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.

This team building program can take place almost anywhere. We work with you to select and layout a course that works for your needs or we can use one of our custom designed courses.

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

The participants all seemed to enjoy themselves and the GeoQuest treasure hunt.

We had an amazing time and the team really enjoyed themselves. Dave did a wonderful job!
Tracey Miller, Fleishman-Hillard

The hunt went very well and Dave Yunghans was excellent. He worked very closely with me to ensure that we were set up for the rest of the program. I would 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.
