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 Maitland, 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 Maitland with us means the programme is sorted and the table is still yours to pick. Your team building runs as a puzzle tour, played through the app, while the venue and the menu stay entirely your decision. That split works well in Maitland, because the teams are out in the centre, close to where the restaurants are — so the walk from the final riddle to the first course is a short one.
The app takes care of the running order: it shows the route, sets riddles, codes and photo challenges, collects the answers and keeps score as you go. Depending on the booking, your Christmas party becomes a Xmas Adventure, an Escape Game, a Murder Mystery Tour or a Treasure Hunt — all played the same way, in teams, against each other, roughly four kilometres and about three hours through Maitland. A team chat keeps everyone connected, a leaderboard shows who's ahead, and all the photos land in one shared gallery. Past Maitland Post Office, the Synagogue or St Mary's the Virgin Anglican Church, the route is fixed, but the pace is entirely up to each team — nobody is waiting on anybody else.
Booking is from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, with the date and time set by your company at the time of booking, right up to two days beforehand. You'll receive a proper VAT invoice, and payment works by invoice, credit card or PayPal — whichever suits your bookkeeping. All that's needed on the day is a charged phone per team, and your Christmas party in Maitland is ready to go.
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 Maitland 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 Maitland, 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 Maitland 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 Maitland 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 Maitland, 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.
