Are you looking for a memorable corporate entertainment event or team building exercise that is ...

• inclusive
• motivational
• challenging

... and involves ...

• creative thinking
• planning
• teamwork

... then you need look no further!

Our Amsterdam treasure hunts and scavenger hunts have factual, fun and silly clues..........there is a shopping list and a word quiz as well as photographs to take thus keeping all team members busy. Answering the clues requires good communication, teamwork and plenty of creative thinking.

OK, so how does the treasure or scavenger hunt work? Each team is given a camera and a set of questions. There are more clues than they could possibly answer - that is where the planning comes in. Teams need to be back at the finish location on time or risk losing points for every minute late - that is wher. The marking session is great fun with teams marking their own results under the watchful eye of another team member, but don't forget the organisers decision is final (unless swayed by a bottle of red wine!!!!!!!!!!!)....these marking sessions are always good entertainment with plenty of banter, and tension as teams watch their results unfold. Results sessions are always interesting whether your team is in a pub, conference room or Continental cafe????

Our Scavenger and Treasure hunts can be written with start and finish locations to suit you and by using digital cameras we can also provide a lasting memory of your day.

Amsterdam information.

Amsterdam was established in the 13th century and was granted city status early in the 14th century.

During the 15th century, the city was subjected to a couple of big fires so it was decreed that all new houses would be stone built. One notable wooden building from that era survives - the Houten Huis (literally the wooden house).

The 16th century was the time that saw Amsterdam become a cosmopolitan city with an influx of wealthy Jews from Spain and Portugal who sought refuge from religious intolerance plus Hugenots fleeing from France. The golden era began late in the 16th century and continued well into the 17th century. Merchants financed expeditions and that led to the creation of the Dutch colonies, Amsterdam was the world financial centre and the main centre for trans-shipment of goods throughout Europe. The city also expanded greatly around its famous canals. It was also, like London, hit badly by the plague in the 1660's.

Amsterdam declined in importance during the next 2 centuries but continued to see immigration, mainly from Germany this time. Wars with the UK and the Napoleonic Wars did not help, however things looked up after the conclusion of the latter, after the establishment of the Kindom of the Netherlands. The Industrial revolution perked up Amsterdam's fortunes right at the end of the 19th century, despite almost weekly riots about working conditions.

In the 20th century, with the building of the dike that separated the Zuider Zee from the North sea, Amsterdam lost its direct contact with the sea. During the second world war, it is probably most famous for the diary of Anne Frank. In the 1960s, the use of soft drugs was tolerated and so the hippy culture arrived, together with squatting and riots.
