A treasure map, a team and a time limit
Teams are handed a treasure map full of riddles, landmarks and physical challenges, then race to find the hidden loot before anyone else. The theme gives the whole day a story to hang on.
Clues are designed to reward looking around rather than running blindly, so mixed teams stay in the hunt. The final location and the reveal are kept secret until the end.
Pirates Treasure Hunt runs from one to three hours for groups of 8 to 2000+, at parks, beaches, city precincts and school grounds. It is a particular favourite with school and family groups.

- Teams of 8 to 2000+

How it runs on the day
Every great pirate adventure starts with gathering the crews. We plan the location and the story with you beforehand, then on the day teams receive their pirate gear and navigation tools before the captain briefs everyone on the rules of engagement.
With a hearty yo-ho-ho the hunt begins. Crews work through cryptic maps and ancient riddles, complete physical challenges and race to triangulate the treasure before rival crews catch on. It finishes with the loot claimed and the winning crew announced.
Available Australia wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast and regional locations.
Bringing a whole company, a conference or a school? Corporate team building covers larger groups and full-day programs, conference programs run across multi-day agendas, and school events cover colour runs, challenge days and fundraisers.
Questions about the Pirates Treasure Hunt
The things teams ask us before booking. Anything else, call 1300 044 197 or send an enquiry.
Plan on 1 – 3 hours. We build the running order around your program, so the Pirates Treasure Hunt can slot into a conference session, hold its own half day or stretch into a longer format.
Our standard range is 8 – 2000+ participants, and we can stretch beyond that with extra hosts and waves. Everyone is placed in a team, so nobody is left watching.
You will be on your feet and moving for most of the event, with plenty of walking. Comfortable shoes are the only real requirement, and we adapt challenges for anyone who needs a slower pace.
We build the route or course around your start and finish, whether that is your office, a park, a beach or a hired venue. Anywhere with a bit of space and a few landmarks works.
We watch the forecast in the week before your event and call you if it looks marginal. You can go ahead anyway, postpone without penalty with at least 24 hours notice, or pivot to an indoor version of the same event.
Send an enquiry with your date, headcount and location. We reply with a clear quote and a plan for the day, usually within one business day. Accepting the quote and paying a 30% deposit locks in your date.
