Looking for an unforgettable way to explore a city, bond with your team, or create lasting memories with friends and family? Welcome to the world of event city quest — where urban exploration meets adventure, teamwork, and fun! At City Game, we transform city streets into interactive playgrounds, offering a range of scavenger hunts, city escape games, and self-guided tours that turn any outing into an epic quest.

Why Event City Quest Experiences Are Booming

Urban adventure tourism is on the rise, and for good reason! According to recent industry research, the urban tourism market is projected to reach $11.39 trillion by 2032, with adventure tourism — including city quests and escape games — expected to grow from $896.06 billion in 2025 to $1.68 trillion by 2032. Millennials, Gen Z, and corporate teams are fueling this trend, seeking immersive, gamified experiences that blend culture, technology, and teamwork.

Gamification is at the heart of this movement. By turning city exploration into a game, we make sightseeing active, engaging, and memorable. Whether you’re a local looking for new things to do in your city or a visitor eager to uncover hidden gems, an event city quest offers a unique perspective and a whole lot of fun.

What Is an Event City Quest?

An event city quest is an interactive adventure that transforms city streets into a puzzle-filled playground. Participants follow clues, solve challenges, and complete missions — often using a smartphone app — to discover landmarks, uncover local stories, and compete or collaborate with others.

At City Game, our offerings include:

  • Guided City Games: Perfect for large groups, corporate events, and team-building. Our experienced hosts manage everything, from equipment to real-time support, ensuring a seamless adventure.
  • Customized City Games: Tailored quests for special occasions, with personalized themes, routes, and challenges.
