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 Sint-Niklaas, 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 Sint-Niklaas works best when the programme and the dinner are two separate things that happen to fit together perfectly. We bring the programme: a puzzle tour played through the app, built for teams, built to get colleagues talking before the starters arrive. You bring the venue and the menu — the restaurant you already know, the table you've already booked, or one you're still deciding on. Because the teams are out walking through the centre of Sint-Niklaas, past Huis Janssens, the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk and the old Witte Molen, the walk from the last riddle to the first course is never a long one.
The app does the running of it. It shows the route, hands out riddles, codes and photo challenges, collects the answers and keeps the score. Each team carries only a charged phone. A team chat keeps them in touch with each other, a live leaderboard shows who's ahead, and every photo lands in one shared gallery everyone can look through afterwards — useful material for the speech later in the evening. The route itself is fixed for each tour, so the app simply leads your teams from station to station; how quickly they move between them is entirely down to them. Figure on roughly four kilometres and about three hours, worked out by teams of mixed departments rather than existing groups, which is rather the point.
In Sint-Niklaas the tour comes in a few different shapes — Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour, Treasure Hunt — each one a complete format rather than a variation on the same idea, so you can pick the tone that suits your crowd. Pricing starts from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, and you choose the date and time yourselves when booking, right up to two days beforehand. Invoice, credit card or PayPal, always with a proper VAT invoice — the sort of detail your finance team won't need to chase you about twice.

How about a puzzle tour through Sint-Niklaas 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 Sint-Niklaas, 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 Sint-Niklaas 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 Sint-Niklaas 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 Sint-Niklaas, 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.
