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 Valenciennes, 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 Valenciennes works best when nobody has to invent the evening from scratch. You already have the room, probably a restaurant somewhere near the centre, and a menu sorted months ago. What is usually missing is the hour or two before dinner that actually gets people talking. That is the part we take care of, as the Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt — whichever fits your team best. Teams play against each other on their phones, following a fixed route through Valenciennes that the app leads them along, solving riddles, cracking codes and collecting points as they go, past the Hôtel de ville and the Citadelle on the way.
Nobody needs to prepare anything beyond a charged phone. The app explains the challenges, tracks the answers, and keeps a leaderboard running so every team knows where it stands. A shared team chat and a photo gallery mean the whole group sees what the others are up to, even while they're scattered across different corners of Valenciennes. The whole thing runs for around three hours and covers roughly four kilometres on foot — enough to work up an appetite, not enough to wear anyone out before the main course. Because the route stays within the centre, the walk from the final stop to your dinner table is a short one.
Booking is straightforward: from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, with your company choosing the date and time, right up to two days before the event. You can pay by invoice, credit card or PayPal, and you'll always get a proper VAT invoice for 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 Valenciennes 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 Valenciennes, 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 Valenciennes 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 Valenciennes 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 Valenciennes, 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.
