Looking for a fresh, exciting way to explore a city? An interactive city tour transforms ordinary sightseeing into an unforgettable adventure — perfect for friends, families, tourists, and corporate teams. At City Game, we’re passionate about making city exploration fun, social, and accessible for everyone. Here’s everything you need to know about interactive city tours, why they’re trending, and how you can make the most of your next urban adventure!

Why Interactive City Tours Are Booming

The world of travel is changing fast. According to recent industry research, the global tours and activities sector is experiencing robust growth, with 74% of global travelers planning 1–3 domestic trips and 59% planning 1–3 international trips in 2025. This surge is fueling demand for unique, interactive experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing.

Gen Z travelers — the new pioneers of adventure — are leading the way. With nearly five trips per year on average, 90% of Gen Z use social media for travel inspiration, and 80% book trips via mobile apps. They crave tech-enabled, shareable experiences like city games, scavenger hunts, and city escape games.

AI integration is also revolutionizing travel. Interest in AI-powered travel planning has doubled in the past year, with 13% of UK travelers open to using AI-generated itineraries in 2025. At City Game, we harness these trends to deliver seamless, personalized, and engaging city adventures.
