Why choose Glasgow for Treasure Hunts?

Glasgow is a city brimming with character and stories. From its industrial heritage to its transformation into a cultural powerhouse, Glasgow’s streets are alive with inspiration.

As the home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the city boasts distinctive Art Nouveau architecture, offering a visual treat as you explore during a treasure hunt.

Glasgow’s modern vibrancy complements its historical depth. The city’s music scene is legendary, with ties to bands like Franz Ferdinand and Belle and Sebastian, while its arts scene thrives with world-class galleries like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Riverside Museum. These rich cultural layers can be woven into a GPS treasure hunt that’s entertaining, educational, and challenging.

Whether your treasure hunt route takes you past the medieval Glasgow Cathedral, a winding route through the cobbled streets of Merchant City, or across the green expanses of Kelvingrove Park or Glasgow Green, Glasgow is a city that invites exploration. With every twist and turn, there’s a story waiting to be discovered.

With Glasgow Central Train Station, Queen Street Station and the bus station on Buchanan Street, reaching the city centre is easy no matter where your team is travelling from. Furthermore, these convenient travel links allow you to explore the suburbs of Glasgow and the Central Belt.

Client Kudos

Thank you to Mike, Ross and Sandy from Maximillion for the team building in the afternoon, murder mystery that evening, Belbin Team Roles next morning, a fantastic team building session in the afternoon and, finally, a great barbecue that evening provided by Norton House. Although some of us were a bit slow of the mark the second day, the same positive attitude and enthusiasm from day one prevailed and I think we all got something out of it. It was clear to me that everyone was communicating and working together better by the end of the afternoon.

Sarah and her team at Maximillion are professional in every way. The quality of events we have run over the last 3 years has been of the highest quality across a mixture of online and larger face-to-face events. You not only get a ‘can do’ attitude but also adaptability as circumstances change and ideas that improve what you are offering your delegates.

The InterGen Summer Event 2024 was an unforgettable day! This could not have happened if it was not for the brilliant team at Maximillion.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and your team for organising a truly memorable Christmas party for the JAA clan. We had a fabulous time and the activities and events you suggested really hit the spot in terms of being accessible, entertaining and fun. I would highly recommend you all for any corporate event in Scotland!

Everything from start to finish was amazing and Jenny kept in constant contact – couldn’t fault Jenny or the company whatsoever. Organisation/Communication was 100% perfect.

White & Mackay

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.
