ZooQuest: The High-Tech Treasure Hunt in a Zoo

What is ZooQuest?
ZooQuest: The High Tech Treasure Hunt in a Zoo 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 Program
Typical treasure hunts provide clues and set your team loose to find answers…and so does ZooQuest. Typical treasure hunts provide puzzles and require creative thinking…and so does ZooQuest. Typical treasure hunts are just that…typical. But ZooQuest 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. ZooQuest 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. ZooQuest gives people the opportunity to work together to achieve their goals. Teams enjoy an engaging day of “Coopetition” through cooperation and friendly competition.

What Others Think of Our ZooQuest: The High-Tech Treasure Hunt in a Zoo:

This was a very good exercise for our group as sometimes, we lose focus on the big picture, based on our daily schedules. I will also give you and your company, high praise for the facilitator, Dan Silvert. He delivered all of his presentations/lessons with a lot of energy but easy to follow and made it extremely fun. Dan looked very comfortable and is a very good speaker/teacher. I would recommend Team Builders Plus to anyone looking for this type of session and would also direct them to ask for Dan, as the facilitator. Thanks you again.
