Testimonials
“The team got a lot out of it and it hit the right note in terms of fun, with a more serious background in terms of how we act as a team”
'; $testimonial[$i++] = '
“The aim of our Copenhagen Treasure Hunt was to build teamwork amongst individuals across the globe who work together, but only usually communicate by conference call and e-mail. We’re a competitive bunch. Planning, leadership, problem-solving and decision making skills were put to the test with an interesting mix of questions, locations and puzzles! Good fun was had by all”

“Despite heavy heads from the night before, the fresh air perked us all up! The treasure hunt content was meaningful and appropriate and we managed to facilitate without any problems. Thank you. We had a great day and I would recommend it for other teamwork sessions.”
