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 Messina, 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 Messina works best when the two halves fit together: you already have, or can easily book, the room and the menu; what you need is the part that turns a group of colleagues into a team before they even sit down. That's what we bring. The programme is ours, the table is yours — and because the teams are out walking the centre of Messina rather than sitting in a conference room, the restaurant is never far from where the evening starts.
The format is a puzzle tour, played entirely through the app on phones your colleagues already carry. No printed clue sheets, no paper maps — the app sets the riddles, codes and photo challenges, collects the answers and keeps score as teams move through Messina. Depending on what suits your group, this can run as a Xmas Adventure, an Escape Game, a Murder Mystery Tour, a Treasure Hunt or a Scavenger Hunt — the mechanics differ, the result doesn't: small teams out together, roughly four kilometres and three hours, working their way past places like Forte Gonzaga, the Statue of John of Austria or the Fountain of Orion. The route for each tour is fixed by the app, but the pace is entirely up to the teams — some linger, some race, everyone ends up at the same finish line with a team chat running throughout, a live leaderboard, and a shared photo gallery as proof of the chaos.
Pricing starts from £ 15.99 per person plus VAT. You choose the date and time when you book, right up to two days before the event, and we invoice by bank transfer, card or PayPal, always with a proper VAT invoice. The walk from the final checkpoint to your dinner booking in Messina tends to be a short one.
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 Messina 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 Messina, 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 Messina 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 Messina 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 Messina, 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.
