How it works

A mysterious billionaire recently died. He had no heirs and didn’t want to give his money away. So he designed a series of tests, puzzles, and challenges to see who is worthy…

Mr. Douglas’s Treasure is a two-hour team-building game designed to be played by 7-10 players on videochat. Larger groups are divided into teams based on their survey responses, and each team works with a live actor/facilitator. Each player is shipped a package of customized puzzles, props and clues and must work together to solve the mystery of where Mr. Douglas hid his treasure.

The game is hosted by an in-game actor who will set the scene, give team hints, and also lead a facilitated discussion after the game on the team’s communication and teamwork. Players are assigned a character based on their survey. Possible characters include Forensic Scientist, Detective, Housekeeper, Mystic, and CEO. Each player is shipped a package of customized props, puzzles and clues specific to their character. What to Expect: When you book this event, we send you a survey to customize your experience. We assign each participant a team and a character for the game based on their survey answers.

Your group will have to:

  • Solve puzzles and clues
  • Interact with live actors
  • Sleuth around online
  • Think critically
  • Communicate and collaborate
  • Practice divergent thinking
  • Build consensus
  • Share information with one another
