People carriers at the Castle |
Egypt or Kent? |
|
An enquiry from our web site
was received from a company in Tunbridge Wells with some 20
employees. It was time for their annual day out and having
previously
had a day in Paris and a days water sports activities in Nottingham
they now wanted something more local that would include all
staff of different ages, backgrounds and interests.
Tunbridge Wells got the creative team all excited, bless them,
they had never been there before! However, having spent a day
over the maps and researching the Internet of they went for
the recce.
The day started with breakfast rolls, tea and coffee followed
by the all-important briefing. On arrival the 21 participants
had seen a plethora of people carrier cars in the hotel car
park but after the briefing they were nowhere to be seen.
And so the scene was set for the day, clue number 1 was to
find the days transport and host/driver.

After a short walk and some
exercise for the brain the teams set off in the people carriers
and
spent the morning solving cryptic clues and taking photos around
the Kent & Sussex countryside. Although mostly local, the
route took the participants to many places that they had not
visited before and certainly tested their ingenuity and team
work as navigation and clue solving were all required at once.
And
then just when they were on top of things a set of supplementary
questions was dropped in that required the help of friends
on the phone and the Internet!
A pub lunch next to a National Trust Castle was very welcome where much bribery
was attempted! So called ‘right’ answers fetched as much as a pint
of the local ale!
The afternoon saw the teams enter the castle and the questions ensured that the
teams had to visit every corner before heading off back to the hotel for tea
and cakes and the prize giving.
A final photo clue on route back and yet another set of surprise questions ensured
that everyone was busy.

Praying on the steps to nowhere |
It must be here somewhere... |

And so another innovative
and inspiring event passed with the client once again very
happy. The following quote was received in the office the very
next day;
‘ Just wanted to drop
you a line to say a huge "Thank you" for organising
our Car Treasure Hunt of yesterday.
The whole office enjoyed themselves, and that is a first for a very long time!!!
We all had a really enjoyable day, and the photos are proudly displayed on our
notice board.
Please thank the Guys for all their driving and Vanessa for helping us to organise
it.
We know where to come the next time.....’
