“Thank you for helping make our team events a success! Both teams [each on a different day] had a great time.” – Mobify – [Since aquired by Saleforce] Doing a Foot Scavenger Hunt Team Building event. We planned this as a two day event where each team went on a hunt a day apart. They met back together on the second day to determine the winner and they were only a scant 3 points apart.
Team Building is important and Mobify recognizes the positive results that can be achieved by having teams within your organization engage one another in fun, challenging and rewarding events. The Foot Hunt we did for them accomplished this as the series of clues, riddles and items that needed collected where varied and in random order. They therefore had to figure out the best approach before setting out to hunt down the clues, items and either procure the items or take a creative photo of their team at the clue location.
We customized the scavenger hunt to suit their needs and made it so that they had a maximum of 2 hours to complete from the moment the host finished introducing the hunt and explaining the rules and handing out the clue / riddle sheet.
One can never underestimate the effect a great team experience can have on productivity. People work better together if they get along, understand the others approach to problem solving and enjoy coming up with solutions together. A scavenger hunt, well developed, can have this effect.
Next time you’re thinking of what type of team building event you need to get strong interaction, off-site and engaging then consider a professionally managed Foot Scavenger Hunt.
