Nottingham team building activities & treasure hunts
Discover Nottingham with Wildgoose
For a memorable corporate day out in the East Midlands, Wildgoose’s Team Building & Treasure Hunt activities in Nottingham combine legendary folklore, rich culture and modern GPS gameplay. Best known as the home of Robin Hood, Nottingham offers far more than tales of Sherwood Forest and merry men. Today, this vibrant city blends historic landmarks, buzzing nightlife and fascinating hidden gems, making it an ideal destination for team building adventures.
Nottingham treasure hunts usually start in the Old Market Square, which makes a good central meeting point, and the route can head up to Nottingham Castle and across to the Lace Market. Teams can take in a few of the city’s old pubs too, if that suits your group.
Using our GPS-enabled Mobile Adventures app, teams will navigate Nottingham’s streets completing interactive challenges, solving clues and capturing creative photo and video content along the way. From the grandeur of Nottingham Castle and the historic Lace Market to quirky pubs, street art and independent cafes, every route reveals something unique about this energetic city.
Nottingham is packed with surprising claims to fame too. Wollaton Hall famously appeared as Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises, the city pioneered braille signage in shopping centres, and it’s home to England’s largest public market square. Music lovers may also recognise Nottingham as the stomping ground of singer-songwriter Jake Bugg and close to Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson’s roots.
Whether your team is exploring cobbled alleyways, competing in a pub explorer challenge or uncovering hidden local history, Nottingham provides the perfect backdrop for collaboration, communication and friendly competition. With flexible timings, remote event support and options for groups of all sizes, Wildgoose can help create an unforgettable team experience in the heart of the East Midlands.

Why Choose Nottingham for Scavenger and Treasure Hunts?
Nottingham is a city built for exploration. From historic caves and medieval streets to vibrant cultural quarters and modern attractions, there’s always something new for teams to uncover. Its energetic atmosphere and diverse mix of history, sport, music and nightlife make it an engaging destination for colleagues of all ages and interests.
The city’s fascinating stories and unexpected trivia provide the perfect inspiration for interactive team challenges.

Armed with a smartphone and adventurous spirit, participants will tackle a series of GPS-triggered tasks and creative challenges designed to strengthen collaboration, communication and problem-solving skills. Whether you’re planning a corporate away day, conference breakout activity or social team event, Nottingham offers an exciting setting guaranteed to keep everyone entertained from start to finish.

Can we host a festive outdoor team building activity?
Sure! Our outdoor team building activities are a great addition to any holiday party or end-of-year wrap-up event. Discover our range of festive team building activities here.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not all the time. Mobile Adventures is a secure, native app, and the whole activity downloads to your Team Captain’s phone before you start (Wi-Fi is easiest for this). Everything is stored on the phone, so the activity keeps working when signal comes and goes. With a basic data connection you’ll get the most out of it: your photos and videos reach our host as you go, and you’ll get live messages and bonus tasks. If you lose signal, keep playing. Everything uploads once you’re back on data.
Does Wildgoose provide smartphones and laptops?
No, the beauty of all our activities is that they can are played from your own smartphone.
Can you run an outdoor escape room in any city?
Almost anywhere, yes. Our GPS games are most often played in city centres, larger towns, or the grounds of a hotel or venue, and they work in any location where the route is safe with good paths and walkways.
We run outdoor team building activities across a wide range of locations, including several areas of London, but the same game runs just as well around your own office or in a nearby park. Just tell us where when you book. One thing worth knowing: Urban Explorer needs a town or city centre, because its photo and video challenges rely on landmarks and shops being close by. For a smaller town, hotel grounds or a venue like a theme park, we would point you at one of our other GPS games instead.
Do we need a Wildgoose host for outdoor activities?
We always recommend choosing one of our hosting options to create a high-energy experience for your team. However, we also offer a selection of self-managed team activities too.
How do outdoor escape games work?
You play outdoors on your own smartphones, guided by GPS. Teams set off from a start point you choose, and as each team reaches a GPS hotspot the app unlocks the next clue, puzzle or challenge.
One of our hosts briefs everyone at the start, stays on hand throughout to support teams and keep the energy up, then wraps up with the results at the end. Remote hosting comes as standard, and an onsite host can join your group in person instead for an additional fee. There is no equipment for us to deliver and nothing to install on site, which is why an outdoor escape game can be booked with as little as 24 hours’ notice.
