GeoQuest: The High-Tech
Treasure Hunt
Typical treasure hunts provide
clues and set your team loose to find answers…and so does GeoQuest.
Typical treasure hunts provide puzzles and require creative thinking…and
so does GeoQuest. Typical treasure hunts are just that…typical. But
GeoQuest 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.
GeoQuest 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. GeoQuest gives people
the opportunity to work together to achieve their goals. Teams enjoy an
engaging day of “Co-opetition” through cooperation and friendly
competition.
GeoQuest 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 Setting
The program can take place almost
anywhere. We
work with you to select and layout a course that works for your needs or
we can use one of our custom designed courses.

What Others Think of Our
GeoQuest: The High-Tech Treasure Hunt:
Nothing but
great praise from everyone. We really had a blast. Team Builders Plus
really exceeded our expectations.
Mark J. Fasano, Heineken
The Indy GeoQuest was extremely interesting, challenging, and most
importantly...helped to increase our spirit of teamwork.
Jason Stele, Harrison College
The GeoQuest was exactly what we needed to get out of the office, enjoy
nature, build team unity and learn how the day’s activities apply to our
everyday work environment. I would highly recommend your services to
anyone and have already done so to my colleagues.
Frank Romero, C3i, Inc.
The team had
a lot of fun, met people they don’t usually work with, and learned new
strategies for communicating. Several of my co-workers took the time to
tell me how much fun they had and that they learned a lot more than they
expected. Carla and Dave kept the activities far more interactive than I
imagined and there was a high level of energy throughout the day. It was
a success all around.
Jenny V. Whitmer, Department of Homeland Security
The participants all seemed to enjoy themselves and the GeoQuest
treasure hunt.
Ann BlackBurn, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp.
We had an
amazing time and the team really enjoyed themselves. Dave did a
wonderful job!
Tracey Miller, Fleishman-Hillard
The hunt went
very well and Dave Yunghans was excellent. He worked very closely with
me to ensure that we were set up for the rest of the program. I would
gladly use your services again whenever we would need to hold such an
event, which in all likelihood will be this same time next year.
Matthew Wells, The Linde Group
We really enjoyed the GPS
treasure hunt. We look forward to doing it again and hope that it
continues to be a part of the activities. It was an excellent team
building event.
Gina Bodalski / Michelle Pandolfo, Gloucester County Human Resources
Everyone thought the Treasure Hunts were great. I did the Woodbury
one and we had a ball.
Bob, Sunoco
All four teams echoed similar praises. It's fun, thought
provocative, and challenging.
Louis DiGiambattista, Valero
The feedback I got from our team members was that they were very
interested and had a lot of fun. I think it worked out real well.
