We design and deliver immersive, bespoke treasure hunts around the world - from city-based adventures and private celebrations to large-scale corporate team experiences and international quests. Each treasure hunt is built around story, place and play, creating experiences that feel cinematic, surprising and completely unforgettable. Over the years, we’ve designed thousands of treasure hunts, from intimate garden-based scavenger hunts to elaborate, multi-location adventures spanning cities, countries and continents.
A great treasure hunt is never just about clues. It’s about narrative, pacing and discovery. It’s also about pulling people into a story and letting the world around them become part of the experience.
At Sharky + George, we specialise in immersive treasure hunts that blend storytelling, live performance, physical challenges and clever problem-solving. Every experience is designed from scratch, shaped around the location, the people taking part and the feeling you want to create.
No two treasure hunts are ever the same. Each one is custom-built, combining creative design with logistical precision.
Our approach includes:
Narrative-led design
Every treasure hunt begins with a story: from high-stakes missions and mysterious disappearances to playful competitions and cinematic adventures.
Location-specific experiences
Cities, countryside, private estates, yachts and remote destinations all become part of the game, encouraging teams to explore and engage with their surroundings.
Live characters and performers
From actors and performers to unexpected characters encountered along the way, we bring stories to life through live interaction.
Hands-on puzzles and challenges
Expect escape-room-style locks, physical clues, bespoke maps and carefully designed tasks that reward teamwork and creativity.
Technology where it adds magic
Augmented reality, tracking devices and digital elements are used sparingly and thoughtfully, enhancing the experience without overshadowing it.
We’re just as comfortable designing intimate treasure hunts for small groups as we are delivering large-scale experiences for hundreds of participants.
Over the last five years, we’ve also been asked to design treasure hunts aboard superyachts, using onboard equipment and vessels such as speedboats, jet skis and, in one case, even a submersible as part of the narrative.
This flexibility allows us to create treasure hunts that feel seamless, immersive and perfectly suited to their environment – no matter the scale.
As well as private clients, we regularly design corporate treasure hunts for businesses looking to do something genuinely different.
Treasure hunts are an effective and engaging way for teams to bond, explore new locations and unwind together after structured meetings or conferences. Friendly competition, problem-solving and shared success create natural connections that last beyond the event itself.
Whether it’s a city-based team away day or an international corporate gathering, our corporate treasure hunts are designed to feel purposeful, playful and polished.
If you’re looking to create a treasure hunt that goes beyond the obvious — one that feels immersive, intelligent and expertly delivered - we’d love to talk. Get in touch to start designing a bespoke treasure hunt tailored to your location, audience and ambitions.
