Why this team day out really works

A Qugato city game combines action, teamwork, and genuine fun. Teams must collaborate, solve puzzles together, and think outside the box to solve the riddles and maximise their score.

It’s the perfect way to:

  • Bring colleagues together and break down internal silos.

Het was verassend leuk en leerzaam. Ik woon mijn hele leven al in Eindhoven maar je leert je stad nu veel beter kennen.
Echt een aanrader.

Leuk spel waardoor je de stad / plaats beter leert kennen. Niet bedoeld om de spelfanaten aan hun trekken te laten komen, maar wel bedoeld om spelenderwijs mooie, leuke, wetenswaardige plekken van de locatie te zien.
Heel leuk gedaan!

Heel leuk om te doen, en goede manier om de stad te leren kennen op een andere manier. We waren allemaal al regelmatig in Utrecht geweest maar hebben toch nieuwe dingen gezien
Het verhaaltje is wel vrij suf eerlijk gezegd

Hele leuke manier om een stad op een andere manier te ervaren/bekijken. Is ‘s Hertogenbosch ook zeker de moeite waard. Leuk opgezet, denk ook voor iedereen te doen qua vragen. Wij gingen opzoek naar de dief van het recept “de Bossche bol” natuurlijk dan ook eentje genuttigd onderweg 😉

Tips voor de ontwikkelaars: Jammer dat je geen account kan aanmaken, namelijk leuk als je ook van plan bent andere steden aan te doen. En een andere tip: zou gaaf zijn als je aangesproken wordt in de app met je teamnaam, dan wordt het net wat echter. Maar weet niet of dit mogelijk is.

We hebben het spel in Alkmaar gespeeld. Het was ontzettend leuk. Gebruiksvriendelijke app, leuke opdrachten en zo spelenderwijs de mooiste plekjes van een stad zien. We gaan het zeker nogeens spelen in een andere stad.
