Deep down in the earth a team-building treasure hunt game was held at Cathedral Caverns State Park in and around an underground cave network in Woodville, Alabama.

Shoutout to all the bosses like Brent, and companies like Driving Force Technologies who put their employees first!

VIA University College In Horsens Denmark: Orientation Day Game
Over 1000 students at VIA University College used TurfHunt for their orientation day where they could explore an get the know the city where they would be staying for the next few years. A special thanks to the city of Horsens for playing along and to the main sponsors: Horsens City, Horsens & Friends, Horsens Ny Teater, and Løvbjerg Horsens for providing the prizes for the winners of the treasure hunt.
“The students really enjoyed the game! and some of them went nuts for completing every treasure that we had planned. Also, the municipality in Horsens with whom we collaborated (the museums, the library, the theatre, concert hall, fitness centres, etc.) really had fun meeting all our students who navigated to their location.” – Jonas Bargholz, Project leader who conducted the game.
