Outdoor Adventure Room: The Ultimate Urban Exploration Experience

Looking for a fresh, interactive way to explore your city or spice up your next group outing? Welcome to the world of the outdoor adventure room — where city streets become your playground, every landmark hides a clue, and teamwork leads to unforgettable memories. At City Game, we transform urban spaces into immersive adventure zones, blending the thrill of escape rooms with the excitement of city exploration. Whether you’re a family, a group of friends, a tourist, or a corporate team, our games are designed to inspire, challenge, and connect.

What Is an Outdoor Adventure Room?

An outdoor adventure room is a gamified, real-world experience that brings the best elements of escape rooms, scavenger hunts, and city walks into the open air. Instead of being locked in a room, you and your team navigate city streets, solve puzzles, tackle challenges, and uncover hidden stories — all guided by intuitive technology and creative storytelling.
