Teamwork
Top Team
Different information on different Briefs means that teams must have good communication skills to get off to a good start. After that it's a question of good team skills.
How it works
A set of four briefs is issued to each team. These briefs are identical except for the four back pages, which contain different, vital clues to the whereabouts of the five keys. So team members must realise that they need to share their information. Once the location of the keys is discovered, teams plan the fastest route to collect them and so get to the treasure. The Trainer holds vital items that teams need to locate the treasure and get it back to the start point. And the quickest team wins!
