The Parmesan Job
Overview
A Thrilling Treasure Hunt in Fiat 500s
The Parmesan Job is frequently described by participants as the best team building event they have ever experienced and it doesn't take much to see why. The Parmesan Job is themed on the classic movie ‘The Italian Job’ except this time it’s you driving a fleet of Fiat 500s!
Your objective is to complete an elaborate treasure hunt hosted on iPads complete with twists and turns which all helps to add to the fun and drama of the day.
At the start of the event you will be met by one of our shady gang members who gives you an introduction to the mission ahead. You’ll then navigate your way to find clues, meet characters and complete challenges.
The event ends with a dramatic final scene featuring pyrotechnics where teams are “only supposed to blow the bloody doors off” and retrieve the gold.
About
The Event Format
Teams meet in a hotel or suitable venue for the opening brief to introduce them to the epic adventure that lies ahead. Each team is given a briefcase containing an iPad and other vital equipment essential to the challenges they will face.
The iPads are loaded with state-of-the-art treasure hunt software. A live photomap will display locations of clues and characters - only when you’re at each ‘hotspot’ will you be able to answer the clues…
The technology which allows you to see the other teams moving around the map with the live scoreboard constantly updating, makes for a tense, dynamic and exciting day with a mad adrenaline rush to beat your competitors!
We can run this teambuilding event anywhere in the UK convenient to you. Clues and locations may be set up around any appropriate venue and are specific to the immediate surroundings - each event is completely unique!

FAQs
The Parmesan Job: Frequently Asked Questions
The Parmesan Job is an Italian Job-inspired corporate treasure hunt featuring a fleet of Fiat 500s. Teams follow an unfolding heist story, navigate to locations, meet characters and complete challenges in their pursuit of the gold.
Each team receives an iPad loaded with interactive treasure-hunt software. Challenges unlock when the team reaches the correct GPS hotspot, while a live map and scoreboard allow participants to follow their rivals and adjust their tactics.
The event lasts approximately four hours. It provides enough time for the storyline, driving, location-based clues and finale without necessarily taking up an entire corporate away day.
The Parmesan Job is designed for groups of approximately 8 to 120 participants. Teams travel and compete in separate vehicles, creating a lively experience for both smaller management groups and larger company events.
The event can be delivered at suitable locations around the UK. The treasure hunt is created around the chosen area, so the clues and route reflect the immediate surroundings rather than following a generic course.
No. A successful team also needs navigators, clue-solvers, organisers and people who can keep an eye on the live scoreboard. Driving arrangements and participant requirements can be confirmed with the event team during planning.
Yes. Participants receive a clear mission briefing and the technology guides teams towards each hotspot. Winning depends on communication, route choices and collective problem-solving rather than previous treasure-hunting experience.
The challenge tests delegation, time management, navigation and decision-making under pressure. Because the live standings can change throughout the event, teams must communicate clearly and adapt their strategy as the story develops.
No. Routes, clues and locations are developed around the selected venue and surrounding area. This bespoke approach gives companies a corporate team-building experience connected to their chosen UK destination.
The adventure builds towards a theatrical final scene in which teams attempt to retrieve the gold. Stage effects and pyrotechnics add drama, providing an entertaining conclusion and a strong shared memory for the group.
