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 Edimburgo, 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 Edimburgo with myCityQuest works because the two halves stay separate on purpose. We bring the programme — a puzzle tour played through the app, in teams, against each other. You bring the room and the menu, booked wherever you already like to eat in Edimburgo. Neither side has to bend to fit the other, and that is exactly why it holds together on the night.
The teams set off on foot through the centre of Edimburgo, past the Iglesia de Santa María de la Mesa, the Church of Santiago and the Convento de Consolación, with the Palacio de los condes de Vistahermosa somewhere along the way too. The app shows the route, sets the riddles, codes and photo challenges, and takes in the answers as they come. A shared gallery fills with the photos, a leaderboard keeps score, and a team chat lets the groups needle each other between stops. About four kilometres, about three hours, and nothing to carry but a charged phone. In Edimburgo you choose between a Xmas Adventure, an Escape Game, a Murder Mystery Tour or a Treasure Hunt — the route itself is fixed for whichever one you pick, though how briskly each team moves through it is entirely their own affair.
Once the tour ends, the walk to dinner is short, because the teams are already standing in the middle of Edimburgo, close to wherever the tables are booked. Prices start from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, you set the date and time when you book, and booking stays open up to two days beforehand. Invoice, credit card or PayPal — always with a proper VAT invoice attached.
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 Edimburgo 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 Edimburgo, 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 Edimburgo 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 Edimburgo 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 Edimburgo, 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.
