churches
http://www.vpbc.org.uk/
Been there since 1869. Another group to ask? How to approach a church? What do I want to know.
Wonder if they have archives?

''Scavengers''
At the San Francisco Hunt (video) Multi-layered clues with performers. They were written clues to start, then performers reveal the object that needs to be collected. On a very large scale.
Around 50 teams who run around and collect the objects, they get brought back and exhibited by Sofaer. The clues are all inspired and sensitive to the city that it is in (in each of the different cities, Edinburgh etc)
The prize was £2,000/$4,000. The exhibiton at end is a great idea, challenging what modern art is, what can you call art? The objects were only in the museum for a few days making it performative and challenging the object/artefacts that would have been there months/years.
I really like Scavengers - the ordinary objects that are collected become the treasure, displayed in a pleasing way. It is very heavy on the teams/audience participating. If none of the audience were up for it, it wouldn't of worked.

Treasure Hunting
http://www.thisisliveart.co.uk/pdf_docs/DIY5_Report.pdf (p19-22)Yara El-Sherbini
''Hunting for Treasure''
Quite simple-it uses 4 objects from newcastle as the treasure. From this it looks like the main aspect was the collaborative process and looks like it was successful for being a simple idea. Form th pictures looks like it was presented well - uses a mix of techniques, audio, live interactions and food tastings and costumes. Wonder what the cryptic clues where like? Seems like they were hard from looking at the inspiration ''Anax''.
Over complicating the treasure and route could be a barrier. Clues, the look of the peice and the journey that the participants go on is important.
In this document particapants have feedback-when I interview participants get feedback. If I visit groups perhaps I can give a workshop?
