There’s more than just books at the Central Library – there’s also mystery. This spot is without question the jewel of Multnomah County, as both the busiest library and an architectural wonder. Teams explore every nook and cranny of the historic building and search for answers to fiendishly tricky clues and tasks. Teams should be sure to bring their Sherlock Holmes caps and be prepared to match wits against Portland Walking Tours’ expert puzzle creators. As an indoor hunt, this is an all-weather year-round event.

Dates & Times:

No public hunts scheduled. This event is for private groups only. Call now to arrange your booking.

Duration:

Under 3 hours without optional awards ceremony.

Starting Location:

At your downtown office location or at the Multnomah County Central Library, where the event is centered.

A fun and exciting hunt that includes your puzzle-master for a pre-hunt briefing to build excitement, all handouts, final scoring, a results presentation and simple prizes for the winning team.

$25 per person with a minimum of $250.

Includes everything in the Gold Package, plus we supply the cameras for Team Photo Challenges! We'll also create a photo website after the event, which is the perfect takeaway for participants with memorable photos of their experience.

$35 per person with a minimum of $700.

Includes everything in the Platinum Package, plus Custom Questions (some companies add a few questions about company history or fun trivia about the boss) and Actors (where our staff - sometimes in costumes - is at various points on the trail to either help or hinder the teams’ progress). Not only do these options make the event more fun, but our team building puzzle-masters will work with you to determine what you would most like to highlight about your company to the hunt participants, or what skills and goals you would most like to drive home in a fun, team-building format.

$50 per person with a minimum of $1000.

We have integrated many other exciting elements including iPhones and concluding Awards Ceremonies with an emcee. The iPhones make this a high-tech adventure that involves special clues and missions (including music, videos, and games). During an Awards Ceremony, we'll review the best (and the worst) photos on a big screen and further build upon team-building dynamics. These Hunts bring out many fascinating aspects of group dynamics and problem-solving.

Pricing depends on options. Ask for our price list which includes t-shirts, signed souvenir mugs, pre- or post-event workshops and much more.

Do you like the idea of holding your team building event downtown (and indoors), but don't have time in your schedule for a full hunt? Then this shorter hunt is for you. It also takes place in the downtown Central Library, but lasts only an hour and a half. Call us now and ask about it.

Q: What color is the key to knowledge?

A: Copper. While you're so busy scrambling about, you likely forgot to look up when we asked you this question. You'll kick yorself becuase the the key is in the art price in the ceiling above your head!
