Front and centre is the Xmas Adventure, our tour for the festive season. You can book any of these tours as a team building event.
In teams, you puzzle your way through Santa Maria, collect points, and afterwards celebrate the team with the most points over dinner. The programme comes from myCityQuest, you choose the venue and menu yourselves.
A Christmas party in Santa Maria works best when you split the job in two: you book the room and order the menu, myCityQuest handles the two hours before anyone sits down. The puzzle tour sends your team out across Santa Maria in small groups, phone in hand, solving riddles, cracking codes and collecting photo challenges as the app plots the route and keeps score. Nobody needs briefing beyond a charged battery, and nobody needs to know Santa Maria beforehand — the app does the guiding, station by station, past the Domus Municipalis and around the Pillory of Bragança.
Choose the format that suits the mood of your team this year: Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt all run on the same principle, just with a different puzzle at the centre. Every team plays against every other team, a team chat keeps the banter going mid-route, and a live leaderboard tells them exactly how close the race is. All the photos land in one shared gallery afterwards, which tends to outlast the party itself. About four kilometres, roughly three hours, entirely on foot through the centre of Santa Maria — which means the restaurant you've already picked is rarely more than a short walk from the final stop.
Pricing starts from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT. You fix the date and time yourselves when booking, right up to two days beforehand, so a last-minute Christmas party in Santa Maria is no problem. Invoice, credit card or PayPal all work, and you always get a proper VAT invoice for it.
Our customers come from a wide variety of sectors. Whether industry, retail, government or services: myCityQuest scavenger hunts are an excellent teambuilding event for your company outing, department party or team event - and that at 6,467 locations around the world.
How about a puzzle tour through Santa Maria with the myCityQuest app as the program before dinner? Your team heads out in small groups, solves challenges at landmarks across the city, and competes team against team for the top spot on the live leaderboard. Several themes are available, and the tour ends in time for the meal.
The tour comes before the meal: about three hours outdoors in Santa Maria, and everyone is back in time for dinner. You book the restaurant, and the program before it comes from myCityQuest. For the organizer, that leaves little more to do than picking the date and putting the teams together.
A Christmas party that starts out in the city instead of at the table: your company splits into teams and heads through Santa Maria before the meal, collecting points against the other teams. If a team gets stuck, a myCityQuest guide is just a chat message away. The date is yours to pick, even at short notice in December, and venue and menu stay entirely your decision.
The tour through Santa Maria is priced from $ 16.99 per person, and you receive an invoice for the booking. Food and drinks afterward are planned by you, so the budget for the evening stays in your hands.
Yes, in a single booking, split into teams that all start together. The price per person stays the same regardless of group size. Mixing departments when forming the teams works well and gets colleagues talking who otherwise rarely cross paths.
You choose the date and the time. The booking is valid for any day you like, in December just like the rest of the year, and the tour starts once the whole team has arrived. Short-notice bookings work too.
Around three hours. That makes it the first half of the evening: the tour first, then dinner with plenty to talk about.
The tour takes place outdoors in Santa Maria, and you can pause it at any point. If the rain gets heavy or the snow piles up, warm up somewhere dry and pick up right where you left off. Warm jackets and sturdy shoes are part of a Christmas party in December.
