Founded in 1999 as a coproduction of YABA* and T-Hunts.com, the YABA Treasure Hunt has grown from 85 players in its first year, to 312 in 2003. After a hiatus of two years, we're expecting "just" 200 people this year. It remains the largest summer treasure hunt in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Not really. We won't require you to take any photos of fast food menus or make you sing in public! A treasure hunt is a well-organized, clue-oriented game designed to create a team-building environment. You just need to bring yourself and your sense of adventure. When referring to Birthday Party Treasure Hunts, the party typically takes place at your home, but still involves the solving of puzzles and mysteries to open that chest !

Team building and employee training frequently asked questio...
Again it's up to you, but we find that 2-1/2 to 3 hours is about right for the hunt itself. Add on the time for any team building theory or team selection, facilitation, score sheet marking, prize giving. If you want to incorporate lunch or dinner (we often do our hunts at night) it's best to allow 4 to 5 hours.

When you create the clues for a Birthday Treasure Hunt, how do you know where they will be hidden?

Motley Clue - Special Event, Birthday and Team Building Trea...
Easy, you tell us! When you get ready to order, we'll ask for common, safe locations around (outside) your home where the clues / map fragments can be hidden, and when we construct the scrolls and puzzles, we use those locations. The most important thing is that the locations are reachable and safe. We have a standard list of suitable locations that you can choose from, or if you have a great hiding place that's not on the list, just tell us and we can customize a puzzle specifically for it.
