What the Urban Treasure Hunt is
One of the most widespread team building formats in the corporate world: teams move through the city or the event site solving clues and completing challenges to unlock the next location.
All of it as a timed treasure hunt, with a final team score.
How the Urban Treasure Hunt works
Here's how Urban Treasure Hunt Team Building works, step by step:
- Participants are split into teams, each with a route of clues and challenges spread across different points.
- Every challenge completed unlocks the next clue.
- The tasks mix photography, physical activity and puzzles.
- A scoring system based on time, challenges completed and quality of the entries decides the winning team.
Challenge ideas for a corporate city treasure hunt
A good treasure hunt shows in the variety of its challenges. Mixing brain-teasers, light physical tasks and photo missions gives every team member their moment to shine. Here are some of the ideas we use to design a tailor-made city treasure hunt for companies.
- Photo challenges: recreate a scene at a landmark or capture a picture that matches a specific brief.
- Brain-teasers: riddles and clues that unlock the next location on the route.
- Moderate physical tasks: challenges suitable for any fitness level, no special training needed.
- Questions about the company: clues linked to the organisation's values or history.
Each completed challenge earns points for time and quality, and the winning team is decided at the shared finish point. We design the route for each city or venue and coordinate the teams throughout. We organise the corporate treasure hunt in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville and across Spain, ideal as outdoor team building for groups of any size.

Barcelona treasure hunt for companies, conferences and conventions
Discover the city
For a group arriving from elsewhere, a Barcelona treasure hunt for companies is the best way to get to know the city without a standard guided tour. Squares, hidden corners and iconic streets become the setting for challenges, and outdoor team building in the city feels like a shared adventure.
A treasure hunt for conferences works very well as an afternoon activity, once sessions end and delegates want to get out. It is also a great team activity for conventions in Madrid, Valencia or any other host city, with a route designed for that location. Tell us where your event is held and how many people are taking part, and we will send you a proposed route.
- International groups in Barcelona: a hunt that uncovers the city's best-known spots between challenges.
- Post-conference afternoons: a treasure hunt so delegates can switch off after the sessions.
- Conventions in other cities: a tailor-made route in Madrid, Valencia or any host city.
- Sales team kick-offs: challenges built around company values to start the year with energy.
