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 Turku, 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 Turku works best when the two halves of the evening don't fight each other. We bring the programme, you bring the venue and the menu — and because the teams are moving through the centre of Turku the whole time, the walk from the last riddle to the first starter is never far. That's the point: the puzzle tour gets people talking, laughing and arguing about answers before anyone sits down to eat, so dinner starts warm instead of stiff.
The format itself is simple enough to explain in one sentence and rich enough to fill an evening. Teams play through the app, which shows the route, sets riddles, codes and photo challenges, and keeps score as it goes. Depending on which format suits your group — Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour, Treasure Hunt or Scavenger Hunt — the tone shifts from festive to competitive to slightly theatrical, but the mechanics stay the same: a team chat, a live leaderboard, a shared photo gallery, and a fixed route that carries everyone past corners of Turku they'd otherwise walk straight past, from the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art to the old wooden streets of Luostarinmäki. About four kilometres, roughly three hours, charged phones the only requirement.
Booking is built for whoever has to organise this on top of their actual job: from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, you choose the date and time yourselves, and you can still book as late as two days out. Pay by invoice, card or PayPal, with a proper VAT invoice either way — the kind of detail that makes the rest of the planning easy to forget about.
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 Turku 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 Turku, 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 Turku 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 Turku 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 Turku, 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.
