This fast and furious team building challenge will certainly appeal to those with a sense of adventure.

Armed with a set of car keys and their own personalised Mini Cooper, your team will set upon a mission of discovery and intrigue around a city or town of your choice. Each team will have their own mini, with matching team baseball caps to add to the competitive element.

At the briefing session, teams will receive their map and a set of destination clues. Now it is up to them to collaborate as a team to answer the riddles and find the hidden destinations, before the other teams.

Apart from the excitement of driving a classic car, teams have to plan, co-ordinate and work together to make progress. Before your team goes anywhere in the car it’s important that you’ve worked out where you’re heading. This is a fantastic analogy to teamwork in business. Your team vision needs to be clear for you to be able to work towards a shared goal. Once you know where you’re going you can head in the right direction. Then your team faces challenges en route. It is completing these challenges together that unites your team and it’s arriving at your final destination that gives your team a feeling of euphoria.

In true Italian Job style, it is possible to find gold at the mystery destinations. Teams may have to use Global Positioning Systems, 2-way radios, remote controlled cars and shovels to find the precious metal – but successful teamwork will make it a reality.

The competitive energy builds up until the main finale; the weigh in. Each team ceremoniously presents their gold to the judge, it is weighed and recorded, the team with the most amount of gold wins. This is a great fun packed team activity, which will not be forgotten in a hurry. As well as having a great day out of the office together, your team will feel motivated and rewarded.

The fact that everyone on the event can drive the minis themselves is unique (assuming they’ve got a driving licence). This makes the people on the event feel very special. It’s a great reward.

The Italian Job is also different because it can be organised almost anywhere in the world. Provided there are roads available to drive on then it’s possible to have your mini adventure anywhere.

The range of challenges is designed to appeal to all types. Some challenges will be cerebral; others will be hands-on practical activities; some require good listening skills; others visual acumen.

The Italian Job suits teams who are competitive as well as teams who all work together. If you’d like a common goal on your event (instead of a competition to win the race) all your teams can work together to retrieve as much “gold bullion” as possible, just like in the film. Teams would then use 2-way radios to keep in contact with each other during their adventure, and meet up at pre-set rendezvous.

Teams will ideally be made up of 3 or 4 players with total guest numbers ranging from 6 – 100. The Italian Job team building treasure hunt will usually run between 3 hours and a whole day depending on numbers and Itinerary.
