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 Bury St Edmunds, collect points, and afterwards celebrate the team with the most points over dinner. The programme comes from myCityHunt, you choose the venue and menu yourselves.
Sorting a Christmas party in Bury St Edmunds usually comes down to one awkward gap: you have a restaurant or a room booked, but nothing to get people talking before the plates arrive. That's the part we take off your hands. The programme is ours, the venue and the menu stay yours — which works neatly in Bury St Edmunds, because the teams are moving through the centre the whole time, past Bury St Edmunds Abbey and the Theatre Royal, and the walk from the final checkpoint to your table is a short one.
What your colleagues actually do is a puzzle tour, played as teams through the app. The app hands out the route, fires off riddles, codes and photo challenges, and tallies the points as they come in. It's roughly four kilometres on foot and about three hours, with everyone free to set their own pace along the way. A team chat keeps the groups needling each other, a leaderboard keeps score, and all the photos land in one shared gallery afterwards — all anyone needs is a charged phone. In Bury St Edmunds you can pick the format to suit the group: Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt, each one running its own fixed route past the sort of corners — The Nutshell, the Norman Tower — that make it unmistakably this city and not just any city.
Pricing starts from £ 15.99 per person plus VAT. You choose the date and the start time when you book, right up to two days out, and we invoice however suits you — invoice, card or PayPal, with VAT included on the paperwork. The rest of the evening, the room and the food, stays entirely yours to arrange.
Our customers come from a wide variety of sectors. Whether industry, retail, government or services: myCityHunt scavenger hunts are an excellent teambuilding event for your company outing, department party or team event - and that at 6,465 locations around the world.
How about a puzzle tour through Bury St Edmunds with the myCityHunt 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 Bury St Edmunds, and everyone is back in time for dinner. You book the restaurant, and the program before it comes from myCityHunt. 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 Bury St Edmunds before the meal, collecting points against the other teams. If a team gets stuck, a myCityHunt 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 Bury St Edmunds is priced from £ 15.99 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 Bury St Edmunds, 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.
