The client brought his team to London and required a hotel with conference room for a morning meeting highlighting future strategy. The afternoon was devoted to a treasure hunt based around the west end. The event manager was instructed to give all instructions in English but was able as necessary to assist with French translation.

The event was carefully structured to avoid the use of colloquial phrases and the event involved teams working together solving written and photographic clues as well as undertaking other challenges whilst out on the route. The event manager was on hand at all times to provide teams with additional support but this proved unnecessary as the group performed well interacting brilliantly amongst themselves and with other people.

Teams returned to the hotel at the conclusion of the event where the results were calculated and a prize giving held.

The comments from members of the group proved the success of the concept. Some had been nervous before the start at the prospect of undertaking the challenge in what was for them a foreign language but had been surprised and delighted by the way they had achieved great results. The HR director was equally happy with the enormous boost in confidence that had been given to their language skills as well as the evident team building benefits.
