The Great Thames Treasure Hunt is an active, but not too strenuous, team-building event designed to thrill and stretch your group whilst having a fun-filled day! Based on board a Thames sailing barge the day centres round the river and its history with teams competing against each other to solve riddles and break codes to find the hidden “treasure”. The action takes place on the Thames, between the Pool of London and the Millennium Dome. Teams are armed with question sheets, Polaroid cameras, books, charts, 2-way radios and a whole plethora of aids to help them solve the clues based around various shore-based locations and the ship itself. Clues may be visual, historical, anecdotal, technical, cunning, cryptic and humorous - but each is essential to guide the teams to the next location. The final time-gate is the opening of Tower Bridge at the end of the day. Successful completion of the day will depend on teamwork, keen observation, lateral thinking and one or two quick runners!
The group is divided into teams of up to 12 which will include a “Ship Party” and a “Shore Party” although team members can interchange their roles throughout the day. The Ship Party will be responsible for communications and providing reference to the Shore Party who will need to collect information and objects, take photographs, find “mystery men” and scavenge for items to take back to the ship. Adding to the fun, bonus points are awarded for a wide range of activities from shanty-singing to nautical translations, special clue-solving, scavenger-hunting and the most complete maps.
