A quick overview of our recent team-building event held a week ago in collaboration with the My Explore Bag team.

Team cohesion is essential for the success of any business. At French Riviera Like A Local, we strongly believe that shared experiences and engaging activities can strengthen the bonds between team members and boost motivation and creativity. Recently, we had the opportunity to collaborate with the fantastic My Explore Bag team to organize a unique and memorable team-building event.

We are thrilled to present our latest team-building adventure: the Treasure Hunt Bike Game with electric bikes, specially designed for our client in the HORECA sector. This event was a wonderful combination of a fun activity and tasting local specialties, offering an enriching and enjoyable experience for all participants.

The Concept of the Treasure Hunt Bike Game

The idea behind our team-building event was to create an activity that was both fun, challenging, and beneficial for team spirit. After several brainstorming sessions, we decided to set up a treasure hunt bike game, using electric bikes to add an ecological and modern dimension to the experience.

The concept was simple but captivating: participants, grouped into teams, had to follow a predetermined route through the city, solving puzzles and searching for clues to find the hidden treasure. Each stage of the treasure hunt was carefully planned to include intellectual challenges, physical activities, and moments of cultural discovery.

Collaboration with My Explore Bag (www.myexplorebag.com)

To bring our vision to life, we were pleased to collaborate with the My Explore Bag team, a company specializing in organizing outdoor activities and customized adventures. Their expertise and passion for immersive experiences were crucial to the success of our event.

Gathering and Briefing

The group gathered at the starting point in Nice, where they were greeted by friendly guides and e-bike instructors. Everyone received a quick briefing on how to operate the e-bikes, safety protocols, and the itinerary for the afternoon.

My Explore Bag helped us design a fascinating route that took participants through iconic sites and hidden treasures of the region. Their in-depth knowledge of the terrain and attention to detail ensured that each stage of the treasure hunt offered a new surprise and challenge.

The Day of the Event

The day began with a morning meeting where participants were welcomed and divided into teams. Each team received a My Explore Bag backpack containing maps, initial clues, and snacks for the day. The excitement was palpable as the teams prepared to embark on the adventure.

The race started at 9 a.m. sharp, and the teams set off on their electric bikes. The first stage led them through the picturesque streets of the old town, where they had to solve historical puzzles to advance. This part of the itinerary allowed participants to discover lesser-known aspects of their environment while strengthening collaboration within each team.

Challenges Along the Way

Each stage of the route featured unique challenges designed to test the varied skills of the participants. Among the most memorable challenges were:

• The Observation Challenge: In this challenge, teams had to find and note specific and often subtle details along their route, such as patterns on buildings, hidden inscriptions, or particular objects. This tested their observation skills and attention to detail while allowing them to immerse themselves in the local culture.
• The Nature Trail: A stage in a natural park required teams to navigate using a compass and rally-style instructions. This challenge was particularly appreciated for its adventurous aspect and the beautiful landscapes it allowed participants to discover.
• The Gastronomic Quiz: A series of questions about local specialties awaited the teams at a tasting station. Participants had to demonstrate their culinary knowledge and their ability to work together under pressure.

The Final Celebration and Tasting

After several hours of exciting challenges and discoveries, the teams finally reached the final destination where a well-deserved reward awaited them. A beautiful rest area had been set up by our partners, offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding region.

There, participants could relax and enjoy a tasting of local specialties, graciously offered by @daqui and @maisonalziari. Delicious dishes, carefully prepared, allowed everyone to recharge and share their experiences of the day in a friendly atmosphere.

The Positive Impact on the Team

The treasure hunt bike game had an extremely positive impact on our team. In addition to strengthening the bonds between members, the event allowed the development of essential skills such as communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. The varied challenges offered everyone the opportunity to shine and contribute to the collective success.

Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Many appreciated the balance between the physical, intellectual, and social aspects of the activity. The use of electric bikes added an ecological and innovative dimension, making the experience even more memorable.

The treasure hunt bike game proved to be an ideal activity for strengthening team cohesion while offering a fun and enriching experience.
