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 Merelbeke, 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.
Sorting a Christmas party in Merelbeke usually comes down to one gap: you've got the room, maybe even the restaurant booked, but nothing to get people talking before the starters arrive. That's what the puzzle tour is for. Your colleagues split into teams, open the app, and set off through Merelbeke. The app shows the route, hands out riddles, codes and photo challenges, and keeps score while everyone walks. No one needs to organise anything beyond showing up with a charged phone.
The route is fixed for each tour and runs past some of what makes Merelbeke worth walking through — Kasteel Rotsart de Hertaing, Kasteel Wisselbeke, the old Stampkotmolen. How quickly a team gets through the stations is entirely up to them; a team chat and shared leaderboard keep the rivalry going the whole way round, and the photos all land in one gallery afterwards. Choose from the Xmas Adventure, an Escape Game, a Murder Mystery Tour or a Treasure Hunt, depending on what sort of evening you're after. Around four kilometres, about three hours, and since it all plays out in the centre of Merelbeke, your table for dinner is never far from the last riddle.
Pricing starts from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, and you choose the date and time yourselves — booking is possible right up to two days before the event. Invoice, credit card or PayPal all work, and you'll always get a proper VAT invoice for the books. The programme is ours; the venue and the menu stay entirely yours to pick.
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 Merelbeke 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 Merelbeke, 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 Merelbeke 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 Merelbeke 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 Merelbeke, 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.
