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 Newcastle, 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 Newcastle with us means this: you bring the venue and the menu, we bring the programme that gets everyone talking before the starters arrive. Teams set off through Newcastle with the app doing the work — showing the route, handing out riddles, codes and photo challenges, and keeping score as it goes. Past Newcastle City Hall, along by the Customs House, maybe a pause near Newcastle Art Gallery or St John's Anglican Church — the city becomes the backdrop without anyone needing a guidebook. Around four kilometres, around three hours, nothing more required than a charged phone.
Choose from Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt — the route for each is fixed, laid out across the stations that belong to it, but how fast your team moves through it is entirely down to them. Every team plays against the others, with a team chat buzzing in the background, a leaderboard tracking who's ahead, and a shared gallery filling up with the photos everyone will be laughing about later. Because the teams are out in the centre of Newcastle, where the restaurants are, the walk from the last challenge to the first course is short — the tour simply hands your evening over to the table.
It runs from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT. You set the date and time when booking, right up to two days beforehand, and settle by invoice, credit card or PayPal — always with a proper VAT invoice waiting for whoever does your books.
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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle, 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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle, 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.
