FAQs
What types of treasure hunts are available in Oxford?
We offer a wide range of Oxford treasure hunts designed to suit different teams and goals. Popular options include our immersive Spy School Treasure Hunt, where your team takes on secret agent missions, and the Black Cab Treasure Hunt, which lets your team explore the city’s landmarks in style. Let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll work together to make an event perfectly suited to you.
Can treasure hunts be tailored to our specific needs?
Most of our activities can be tailored to your team’s requirements. Whether you want bespoke challenges based on your company or want to take a specific route around the famous Oxford landmarks, we can design an event that works around you. We can also make the scavenger hunt as easy or challenging as you like to create the best possible experience for your group.
How long does an Oxford scavenger hunt typically last?
On average, our Oxford treasure hunts last about half a day, but the length of time it takes to complete the treasure hunt depends on the problem-solving skills of your staff. Some teams prefer a shorter, high-energy scavenger hunt packed with challenges, while others enjoy a more relaxed pace with extra time to explore landmarks. Whatever works best, we’ll work around you.
Do participants need prior knowledge of Oxford?
Not at all. Our treasure hunts are designed so that anyone can take part and have fun, and it’s a good opportunity to explore the city for the first time. The scavenger hunts are about teamwork and problem-solving, so existing knowledge of Oxford isn’t needed!
Can your Oxford treasure hunts accommodate large groups?
Yes. Whether you’re a small team of 10 or a large organisation with a hundred attendees, we can design an Oxford treasure hunt to suit your group size. Large teams can easily be split into smaller groups to encourage teamwork and healthy competition. Our event managers are there every step of the way to make sure the experience runs smoothly, providing all necessary equipment and training.
What landmarks might be included in an Oxford treasure hunt?
Your Oxford treasure hunt could take you through some of the city’s most famous locations, as well as hidden gems you might not have discovered before. Popular landmarks include the Bodleian Library, Christ Church College, Oxford Castle & Prison and the University Parks. Depending on your package, you might be able to visit other areas – we’ll discuss the route in the early stages of event planning.
What should participants wear or bring?
We recommend participants wear comfortable clothing and footwear as they’ll be walking around the city for a few hours. As the UK weather is unpredictable, it’s sensible to bring a waterproof jacket or umbrella and prepare for all seasons to make sure your team have the smoothest experience possible. With the right clothing and team spirit, you’ll be ready to enjoy a memorable Oxford treasure hunt from start to finish.
