City game
made to measure
A city game that runs through the centre, with tasks at places that really matter. Route and storyline designed for your group and your city.
Not a scavenger hunt with trivia
Most city games are a quiz with a route around it: walk to that building, count the windows, fill in the answer. That works for half an hour. After that everyone knows the game is really just a walk with homework.
We build it the other way round. There is a storyline that unfolds as teams move through the city, and the tasks belong to what is happening in that place. Teams make decisions along the way that affect how things continue, so two groups rarely walk the same route.
- Route and story designed for each booking
- Playable from the browser, with no installation
- Teams of four to eight, groups of well over a hundred
- Start and finish at a place of your choice
One format, three occasions
The occasion sets the tone of the story and the difficulty of the tasks:
Company outing or team day
Teams mixed together, tasks that require discussion and that nobody can solve alone. Handy as an afternoon programme before a dinner in the city.
Hen or stag party or day out with friends
More room for unexpected tasks and a storyline that revolves around one person. Works well as a warm-up for the rest of the evening.
Introduction or getting to know each other
For new employees or students who don't know the city yet. The game then doubles as a guided tour, without feeling like one.
We walk the route ourselves first
Before a city game is played, we walk the route ourselves. Not to take nice photos, but to check that the distances are right, that a spot isn't clogged with café terraces on a Saturday afternoon, and that the tasks can be done without a team getting in the way of shoppers.
On the day itself one of us is at the start and at the finish, and we are reachable during the game. Teams that get stuck receive a hint, so that the group stays together rather than one team falling an hour behind.
A compact city game starts at €195.
Frequently asked questions
In which cities can we play a city game?
We do Enschede, Hengelo, Almelo and Oldenzaal most often, but the concept isn't tied to one city. A centre with enough recognisable places within walking distance of each other is enough. We also work outside Twente, though a new city needs a bit more preparation because we work out the route on site.
Do participants need their own phone?
One phone per team is enough, and in practice there is always one. Nothing needs to be installed: teams open a link and play from the browser. Anyone who would rather play entirely without a screen can get a paper version with envelopes and physical tasks.
How long does a city game last?
Two to three hours is the usual length, including a start and end moment in the same place. It can be shorter by shortening the route, but longer rarely works: after three hours of walking the energy drops, especially with mixed groups where not everyone is equally keen.
What happens in bad weather?
We play on regardless, with tasks that can be done under a canopy or inside public spaces. If it rains persistently or there is a storm, we discuss rescheduling or an indoor version at one venue. We agree what happens in that case when you book, so there is no discussion on the day itself.
