City games for corporate teams and team-building events
An active team-building activity everyone enjoys
Looking for an original team-building activity that is easy to organise and enjoyable for everyone? With Qugato’s city games, colleagues set out in small teams to explore the city together.
During the game, teams solve challenges, collect clues and discover fascinating places in the city centre. Along the way, spontaneous moments of teamwork, friendly competition and plenty of laughter naturally emerge.
Some colleagues will focus on solving the puzzles, while others enjoy the route and the stories behind the city’s landmarks. This combination makes a city game suitable for a wide range of colleagues and team dynamics.
Team building in the city centre
Organised in under 10 minutes
What is a city game?
A city game is an interactive urban treasure hunt where teams solve challenges using their phones.
Teams follow a route through the city centre, visiting notable locations along the way. They solve puzzles, complete tasks and collect clues to uncover the mystery behind the game.
Because teams play independently, the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. Colleagues collaborate, get to know each other better, and experience the city in a surprising and engaging way.
City game options for your company
There are different ways for companies to use our city games, depending on the purpose of the event.

Company moments that pair perfectly with a city game
If you are planning one of the following company occasions, our city game would be a great add-on to boost engagement and make your company event fun for the participants.
Team-building activity with colleagues
Most companies book our city games as a relaxed team-building activity or department outing.
Colleagues are divided into small teams and set off at the same time. Along the way, a friendly competition naturally develops: which team will solve the most challenges and uncover the mystery first?
The game encourages:
- Team collaboration.
- Spontaneous conversations.
- And often plenty of laughter.
Corporate events or team days
City games are also frequently used as part of larger corporate events or team days.
Because the game is flexible, it can easily be combined with other elements of the day, such as:
- Lunch or dinner in the city.
- A meeting or workshop.
- Drinks on a terrace to finish the day.
This creates a varied programme in which everyone actively participates.
Pricing for companies
The price of a city game starts from €4.68 per person (€28.10 excl. VAT, per team of up to six players), depending on the setup and any additional options.
Because teams consist of 2-6 players, the activity remains affordable and flexible for different group sizes.
