Tipsy Tartan Trail
Our fun-packed Scottish treasure hunt is a hilarious and interactive team development event designed to test any team's planning, delegation, communication and time & team management skills, all in a hugely fun environment! You and your colleagues are guaranteed to have a fantastic day as you race around your chosen Scottish location on a frantic trail, with only your collective brain power and initiative to see you to the end!
A trail alone would be just too easy though we think, so we’ve added on various other challenges for you and your team to complete in order to collect those all important winning points! We give you everything you need: the clues, training notes, a digital camera, maps, clues and two shots of whisky (!) but after that you're on your own and the clock is ticking!
This hugely fun and inclusive event is also great in the fact that it is completely flexible on pick-up point, format and content, as each event is written specifically for your group. We can make your day as team-building orientated or relaxed as you wish. See the options below for more details.
The Challenges
The Whisky Welcome
Your event will start with an introduction from your Scottish themed host, which will include a brief history of whisky in Scotland and a wee dram each for you and your guests. Your team will then be given a quick brainteaser, which once completed correctly will mean your team can claim their trail and get going! Get your brains in gear now team, or else you’ll be the last the leave!
Treasure Hunt
Your trail will consist of a selection of information-finding tasks and cryptic clues that will lead you on a fun-filled route around your Scottish town or city.
Will you get the right number from the red phone box, find the date on the smallest plaque and find us in the right pubs on the way round?!
Photograph Challenges
Along the way, your team will have to complete a list of fun photograph challenges, testing your creativity and daring in the face of the public! Examples include re-enacting the Highland fling in a public place, re-creating a famous Scottish scene and a picture of the whole team playing the bag pipes upside down! Big bonus points await the funniest and most ingenious snaps!
Scavenger List
Have you ever thought how you would find an obscure Scottish item without paying for it if you needed one? Don't worry, neither had we! Your scavenging skills and persuasive abilities will be tested to the max here though, as your list will include items such as a haggis and a pink piece of tartan... Good luck!
Pub Visits & Whisky Tasting
Included in your event are two pub stops with a dram of whisky in each. At each stop your team will be met by a Scottish expert, who will tell you some interesting facts about their chosen malt. It is up to you to listen carefully to them, as there will be a bonus question for you on what you have learnt at the end, which will add more points onto your overall score. Perhaps it would be wise to save the dram until after…?!
The Winners!
The end of the event sees all your team’s points for the different challenges combined to find your grand total. A showing of the best scavenger items and photos is then made before the winning team is crowned victorious, with a presentation of medals and prizes for the top two teams.
Historic Visits
We look to take you to as many interesting places as we can fit in to your event, including views of Edinburgh castles, churches, museums and parks. We do not include tours and paid visits to historic venues but are happy to add this to your day on request (POA).
