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 Matera, 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.
A Christmas party in Matera works best when the two halves are kept separate: the part that gets colleagues laughing together, and the part where everyone sits down to eat. We bring the first half. You bring the second — the restaurant, the table, the menu, whatever your team already has in mind. Because the puzzle tour runs through the centre of Matera, past Castello Tramontano and the Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, the walk from the final checkpoint to your chosen table is never long.
The puzzle tour itself is played through our app, in teams, on foot. The app sets the route, poses riddles, codes and photo challenges along the way, collects the answers and tallies the points as you go. Depending on the format — Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour, Treasure Hunt or Scavenger Hunt — the tone shifts from festive to mysterious to competitive, but the mechanics stay the same: around four kilometres through Matera, about three hours, every team against every other team, a shared team chat, a live leaderboard, and a gallery where all the photos land together. A charged phone per team is the only kit required.
The route for each tour in Matera is fixed in advance, leading teams past landmarks such as Palazzo dell'Annunziata and Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo, though how briskly any team moves between stations is entirely up to them. Pricing starts from £ 15.99 per person plus VAT, and when you book you set the date and time yourselves — bookings are accepted up to two days before the event. Invoice, credit card or PayPal all work, and you'll always receive a proper VAT invoice.
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 6,467 locations around the world.
How about a puzzle tour through Matera 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 Matera, 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 Matera 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 Matera 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 Matera, 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.
