Description
Geo Hunt: navigation and team challenges
Geo Hunt combines GPS navigation, map reading and hidden-cache challenges. Teams learn the skills, then work together to find geocaches, locate orienteering controls and solve riddles. The three-hour programme gives colleagues a shared outdoor challenge.
How does Geo Hunt work?
First, each team divides into two groups to learn GPS and map-reading skills. Participants practise on a sample course before taking on the main challenge. Then the groups reunite and combine what they have learned.
Teams use their skills to search for hidden geocaches and orienteering controls. Along the way, they also solve riddles. The team that completes the most of these tasks within the time limit wins.
What is included?
- Venue sourcing
- Event planning
- A three-hour activity programme
- Prize giving
Which services cost extra?
Food and beverages cost extra. However, we can help organise these through the chosen venue. Transport to and from the venue is also separate, and we can help arrange it.
Working together on the hunt
Geo Hunt gives colleagues opportunities to communicate and combine different skills. For example, participants can compare the map with GPS information and discuss where to search next. Meanwhile, the time limit encourages the team to agree priorities.
Deciding how to divide tasks is part of the shared challenge. Teams can discuss who will follow the route, look for caches or focus on riddles. As a result, people have opportunities to contribute in different ways.
