A team building quest in San Francisco that pairs GPS hotspots, AI item scanning and augmented reality puzzles, built for a hybrid team's in person week.
Hybrid teams in San Francisco spend most of the year as faces on a screen, so the in person week has a lot to accomplish. This program uses the technology they already live in to get them moving together instead of sitting in another meeting room. The crew brings a smartphone per team loaded with a custom quest app, maps GPS hotspots to your venue and runs a scavenger hunt of 90 minutes with a live scoreboard.
Phones are provided, not borrowed
Nobody installs anything on a personal device. Each team receives a smartphone with the app and digital clue packs

Hybrid teams in San Francisco spend most of the year as faces on a screen, so the in person week has a lot to accomplish. This program uses the technology they already live in to get them moving together instead of sitting in another meeting room. The crew brings a smartphone per team loaded with a custom quest app, maps GPS hotspots to your venue and runs a scavenger hunt of 90 minutes with a live scoreboard.
Phones are provided, not borrowed
Nobody installs anything on a personal device. Each team receives a smartphone with the app and digital clue packs already loaded. The app runs the missions, scores in real time and unlocks experiential exercises only when a team is standing in the right spot. That design matters for hybrid groups, because people who have only worked together through chat finally have to navigate, decide and split up tasks face to face.
Mission types
- GPS location challenges mapped to your venue
- Photo and video missions that become the replay reel for the week
- AI item scanning, where finding the right object is the actual puzzle
- Augmented reality puzzles that layer portals over the real world
- Custom trivia written for your group, plus surprise bonus quests that shuffle the leaderboard
Rain or shine
Outdoor hotspots run when the weather cooperates, and the quest moves indoors with QR triggered augmented reality clues when it does not. The missions keep rolling either way, so the program does not cancel for rain. For an outdoor scavenger hunt team building plan booked weeks ahead, that reliability removes the usual backup plan scramble.
Teams and roles
An interactive icebreaker forms the teams, with a wristband method once the group passes 80, and teams are capped at eight so everyone plays. A Quest Host runs the program with facilitators on site, and an optional costumed character can serve as a living checkpoint or clue giver. Surprise bonus quests keep teams that fell behind early still pushing at the end.
Why it fits hybrid team building
Remote colleagues tend to recognize each other's work but not each other's instincts. A team building scavenger hunt exposes those quickly: who reads a map, who spots the object, who negotiates the route. As hybrid team building, it gives the in person week a shared story beyond the planning sessions. It also serves as a corporate team building scavenger hunt for a department, or a team bonding scavenger hunt for a smaller crew that wants more structure than a group walk.
Venue and group size
This listing covers 15 to 400 guests. The map is built to your venue, whether that is a single floor, a campus or a city block, and the California based crew travels to sites across the Bay Area. Among team building scavenger hunt for work formats, this team building quest is one of the few that runs indoors and outdoors with the same set of missions.
Common questions
Nobody needs to install an app or bring a phone, since smartphones are provided. The quest runs rain or shine, moving indoors with QR triggered clues when needed. Teams are capped at eight, and the map is built around your venue so the route fits your space.
The scoreboard effect
Live scoring changes how teams play. Because the app updates in real time, every team can see where it stands, and surprise bonus quests give trailing teams a path back. That keeps every team pushing until the final whistle instead of coasting once the leader is clear.
Make it yours
Custom trivia is written for your group, so questions can reference your product, your teams or the week's agenda. An optional costumed character can play a checkpoint or clue giver, and the producer helps match the route to the parts of your venue you want people to see.
Booking
For weekday events, four to six weeks of lead time is comfortable; summer dates fill eight to twelve weeks out. The crew has refined its programs across thousands of teams since 2011.
