Welcome to the THE (Treasure Hunt Europe) web site...

So whats this all about?

This event is a WORLD RECORD trans-european treasure hunt organized and run by students at Sheffield University aiming to raise money for local and International charities. Leaving from the start point on the 14th of June 2010 each team (3-5 members) will race to the finish (about 1,000 miles away) following cryptic clues to the next location on a route spanning at least 5 countries. The team to reach the final destination first will be the grand winners of £1,000 in cash.

 

Sounds a bit like Bummit, do we have to hitchhike?

No, you will not need to hitchhike at all because all of your rail transport around Europe will be included in the interrail pass that we give you for your ticket price. It even includes the return journey home (if you still want to go home after exploring Europe that is).

 

I'm well up for that, but how much is it going to cost me?

Its only £70 to take part!
Minimum sponsorship is £250

After you've signed up all you'll need to do is pay your money into the Union Finanance office.

Your ticket include:

  • Your 'One 5 in 10 day' global interrail pass (worth £160)
  • Public Liability Insurance
  • THE T-shirt
  • THE Guide
  • THE Team mating socials
  • THE Goody Bag
  • and an amazing end party.

Your ticket does not cover the cost to the start location.

RAG will organise opportunities to help you raise your minimum sponsorship.

Its for charity right, how do they get any money?

Making money for charity is just as important as fun for us, so everyone who takes part must hand in and guarantee a cheque for a minimum sponsorship of £250. But that's no reason why you can't raise even more to help out some awesome causes. You will get your own justgiving.com page so that its easy to get family and friends involved.

 

Thats great, but I've got another question?

Just email us at: treasurehunteurope@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible with any info.
