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 Pontarlier, 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.
Once the booking is made, the rest sorts itself out. You pick the restaurant in Pontarlier you already know and trust, or the one on this year's shortlist, and we handle the part that usually never gets organised properly: the bit before the meal where people actually talk to each other. The programme is a puzzle tour, played in teams through the app — no printed clue sheets, no guide walking backwards in front of a group. The app sets the riddles, codes and photo challenges, takes in the answers and keeps score as the teams move through Pontarlier.
In Pontarlier that means Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt — whichever format you choose, the route is fixed and runs past places such as the Ancienne chapelle des Annonciades and the Chapelle de l'Espérance, so the tour stays recognisably Pontarlier rather than a generic walk anywhere. Roughly four kilometres, about three hours, entirely on foot. Teams play against each other, a team chat keeps the banter going, a leaderboard shows who's ahead, and all the photos land in one shared gallery everyone can look back on. A charged phone per team is all that's needed — nothing to print, nothing to carry.
Because the whole thing plays out in the centre of Pontarlier, the restaurants are close by, and the walk from the final station to dinner is short rather than a logistical exercise. Pricing starts from £ 15.99 per person plus VAT; you set the date and time when you book, right up to two days beforehand, and we invoice however suits you — by invoice, card or PayPal, always with full VAT details.
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 Pontarlier 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 Pontarlier, 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 Pontarlier 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 Pontarlier 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 Pontarlier, 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.
