HOW WE WRITE OUR TREASURE HUNTS

When we write a treasure hunt we focus on the points of interest in a particular area. We then write out clues by walking round with a video camera and filming the route with a presenter.

We then work out the visual cryptic clues that the teams will follow. The next step is to sit down and actually write the clues. Once the clue sheet is written it is walked by two different managers to ensure that all the clues make sense and are workable.

Once we are satisfied that the treasure hunt works and that the clues are findable we walk the route twice more to add the Observation Questions and to take the photographs for the photo challenge round.

The treasure hunt route is then walked one last time by an independent assessor who actually does the treasure hunt as participating teams would do it.

Only once all this has been done do we release our treasure hunts on the website. That way we are certain that they work and that our clients will enjoy them.
