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 Newmarket, 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 Newmarket works best when you split the job in two: let us run the programme, keep the venue and the menu as your own choice. Your team plays a puzzle tour through the streets of Newmarket, guided by the app, while you keep the table already booked for afterwards. The route runs past the Old Newmarket Town Hall and Courthouse and the Elman W. Campbell Museum, so the tour feels like Newmarket and nowhere else, without turning the landmarks into the main event.
The app sets the pace: it shows the way, hands out riddles, codes and photo challenges, and takes in the answers as the team moves. Every group plays against the others, a team chat keeps everyone talking, and a shared leaderboard and photo gallery turn the walk into one event rather than several small ones. Expect around four kilometres on foot and about three hours in total, with nothing to carry beyond a charged phone. Depending on what suits your group, Newmarket runs as Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt — the stations are fixed for each one, but how quickly your team works through them is entirely up to them.
Because the whole route stays in the centre of Newmarket, the walk from the last station to your restaurant is short — no coaches, no detours, just a straight line from game to dinner. Prices start from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT. You choose the date and time when booking, with bookings possible up to two days beforehand, and you can pay by invoice, credit card or PayPal, always against a proper VAT invoice.
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 Newmarket 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 Newmarket, 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 Newmarket 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 Newmarket 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 Newmarket, 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.
