About Motley Clue Adventures...

 
What we do:
Motley Clue offers exciting Treasure Hunt Adventures that appeal to both children and adults.
We strive to add excitement to the ordinary by using puzzles, secret codes, invisible ink and hidden clues to help players reach a common goal of unlocking an authentic Treasure Chest!

We deliver and set up everything you need to have a memorable and exciting Birthday Party Treasure Hunt. We also provide a sealed answer sheet for all the puzzles and challenges, so you're able to participate in the hunt as well, knowing that you have the answers should you need them.


Who we are:
My name is Dennis Putnam, and my love of Treasure Hunts started back when I was 7 years old.

My grandmother, affectionately known as 'GranMama' was hosting a sleepover for me and my three cousins (all boys between the ages of 3 and 7) when she realized that she needed us to have something to do outside the house!

While we were busy making a mess, GranMama walked over to her bookshelf and pulled out our old family Bible. With an amazing flair for the dramatic, she gasped as an old scrap of parchment paper fell out from it's pages, fluttering onto the floor.

Her eyes grew wide and by now, she had our attention as she looked at us and said, "I can't believe it's real !".

"What, GranMama?" we pleaded.

She picked up the fragile paper and unfolded it, revealing a beat up, hand-drawn Treasure Map. From that moment on, I was hooked! She spread it out upon the table and showed us what was on the map, including a large red X in the corner!

Within minutes we were armed with shovels and sprinting across the farm to get to the Treasure Spot. It took some digging (and more than a few holes), but eventually we found what we were looking for! It was an old tin coffee can, buried about 8 inches in the ground. It held 4 dollar bills (one for each of us) and some toys and trinkets.

It wasn't much, but I can still feel the excitement of that day just thinking about it! Ever since that day, I've loved games with clues, secrets, gadgets, puzzles and mystery.

Motley Clue Adventures is the humble beginning of my dream of being able to bring immersive adventure, mystery and excitement to others.

I've been creating and running different types of adventure treasure hunts for my own children for years and years, finally deciding to formalize it into Motley Clue Adventures, so I can share the fun with everyone!

If you're looking for something unique and different for your next party, whether it's a birthday party, road rally, Team Building Event or even wedding rehearsal dinner, please give me a call. I'd love the opportunity to turn your next party into a Treasure Hunt that will be remembered forever.
Our Puzzles and Clues:
Very few of our challenges are of the garden 'crossword puzzle' variety. We're proud of the many different types of puzzles and clues we provide. Our intention is for our players to use all of their senses to think 'outside the box' in discovering the solutions.

Our most popular challenges use props. A prop puzzle is simply one that has some sort of physical quality associated with it...i.e. something you can hold, look at, smell or even taste. These types of puzzles get everyone involved in the fun, because they are more tactile than mere paper and pencil puzzles. These challenges give the opportunity for unique points of view and suggestions from all the players based on how they perceive the props.
 
Location:
We are located in Apex, North Carolina and because our Treasure Hunts are customized and self-contained, we can ship them anywhere in the continental United States. (If you're local to the Triangle area of North Carolina, you can pick them up too!) We offer Treasure Hunts for Adult and Children's birthdays, Road Rally Hunts, and even Corporate Team Building Treasure Hunts.
