On the 8th of January 2025, we had the pleasure of hosting an exciting team building treasure hunt in Birmingham City Centre for Amey PLC, a leading UK-based engineering company. This event was all about fostering collaboration, encouraging problem-solving, and most importantly, having fun in a competitive setting!
The Event
Amey PLC brought 50 enthusiastic participants to take part in our interactive mobile phone treasure hunt, one of the most engaging corporate team-building exercises we offer. Teams of 5-6 people competed against each other across Birmingham’s vibrant city centre to answer questions, solve puzzles, and complete fun photo challenges.
Starting next to Birmingham New Street Station, the teams had 1 hour and 45 minutes to navigate the area, score points, and complete challenges using our interactive app. The event culminated in a well-earned celebration at the Bacchus Bar, where participants enjoyed drinks, nibbles, and shared plenty of laughs about the day’s adventures.
Highlights of the Day
What made this team away day in Birmingham particularly special were the custom elements we added for Amey PLC. We designed bespoke questions tailored to their company values, including challenges related to their "Safe Start" program and health and safety initiatives. This personalised touch ensured the event was not only fun but also meaningful and aligned with their company goals.
Photo Challenges
Our team bonding activities included hilarious bonus point photo challenges, which the teams thoroughly enjoyed:
- Get a great team picture: Groups showed off their camaraderie and creativity.
- Recreate a famous movie scene: The results had everyone in stitches!
- Interact with a landmark: The iconic bronze bull sculpture at the Bullring was a fan favorite.
- Team in a phone box: Classic and quintessentially British.
- Star jumps galore: Great for getting the energy levels up!
The Joke Competition
We couldn’t resist adding a bit of humor to the mix with a joke challenge. One of our favorites of the day was:
"How does a train hear another train coming? With its engineers."
(We’re still laughing about that one!)
Funny Team Names
The team that won the best team name were called The Wet Bandits. We couldn't help but loves this name after watching Home Alone over the Christmas period.
