Corporate Treasure Hunt

BarcelonaTours has two creative and unique team-building activities: the Barcelona Photo Treasure Hunt (exclusive to BarcelonaTours) and the CSR Scavenger Hunt.

Traditional treasure hunts involve solving clues and following a map. While our treasure hunts (also known as scavenger hunts), still have these classic elements, each team gets a vintage Polaroid camera with 10 photos to snap pics and fill a photo album as a keepsake. Past attendees have told us that it’s one of the best mementos from their team-building experience in Barcelona.

What Can You Expect?

It’s all pretty simple. We give the whole group a detailed brief before splitting you into smaller teams. Each team gets a backpack with useful equipment, including a Polaroid camera, clue booklet, scavenger hunt list, and more. Then, you are unleashed on Barcelona’s incredible Gothic Quarter (or Old Town) in a crazy, madcap treasure hunt.

Using the kit given – and the brains of your team – you compete to solve clues, collect scavenger items, and take pictures. The aim is to gather as many points as you can to win the activity and prove your team is the best! This event works well combined with a dinner or a final destination for your prizegiving.

Who Should Book a Barcelona Treasure Hunt?

Anyone, anywhere, who wants to have fun while doing team building. These activities are perfect for team building, as everyone works together to solve the puzzles. In terms of size, we can accommodate teams as small as 10 and have the capacity for up to 200. Beyond company events, our treasure hunt is also suitable for families, groups of friends, and anyone else.

How Long Do They Last?

You should allow approximately three hours. Afterward, most teams go for food or drinks, where we normally also hold a prize-giving ceremony. Usually, teams extend the night beyond this ceremony to enjoy the excitement, laughter, and good vibe still lingering long after the treasure hunt is over.

How Do You Win?

The winning team is the one that has collected the most points across all three challenges. While it is not a race, there are penalties for returning late!

Once you have completed all the challenges, you will head to the meeting point. Here, a member of the BarcelonaTours team will count the points, work out who the winner is, and present them with an awesome prize.

Start and finish points

The start and finish points can be adapted. If your group is staying at one hotel, we can start and finish there, for example. Or maybe you have a restaurant booked after the event, in which case we can organise the prizegiving there.

All these finer details can be discussed with us in the lead-up to the event. We will ensure the entire event runs smoothly – and that everyone knows who the winners are.

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Corporate City Scavenger Hunts

Is this a physically demanding activity? What if we have employees with reduced mobility or varying ages?

Not at all. Our corporate photo treasure hunts in Barcelona are designed to prioritize strategy, problem-solving, and teamwork over physical exertion. Checkpoints are located in accessible areas of the Gothic Quarter or El Born, and teams set their own pace. This ensures 100% of your workforce—regardless of age or physical condition—can actively participate and stay fully engaged.

We are a large group of over 150 people. How do you ensure the treasure hunt is organized without overcrowding the streets?

We use a battle-tested logistics framework for large corporate groups. The company is divided into sub-teams of 6 to 8 people, operating on parallel routes with staggered start times. This prevents teams from overlapping or causing crowds in public spaces. Additionally, we deploy on-site event coordinators across the map connected in real time to monitor progress and safety.

What tangible benefits does the company receive after the activity? Do we get to keep the photos?

Absolutely! Unlike digital tours, our activity uses vintage instant/Polaroid cameras, so every team keeps their physical photos on the spot. At the end of the event, all photos are placed into a customized physical photo album that the company takes home as a tangible keepsake. It’s an immediate, fun piece of team memory and a unique Employer Branding artifact for your office reception, internal events, or team showcase.
