Why Real Life City Games Are Booming

The global appetite for real life city games — from scavenger hunts to city escape games — has exploded in recent years. According to industry research, the city-building and exploration game market is expected to more than double by 2032, reaching over $5.6 billion. This surge is fueled by a growing desire for immersive, social, and tech-powered experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing.

Gamification is at the heart of this movement. By turning city exploration into a game, we make every outing more engaging, memorable, and fun. As one tourism expert puts it, “Gamified city experiences transform passive sightseeing into active discovery, making destinations more memorable and engaging for all ages.”

What Is a Real Life City Game?

A real life city game is an interactive adventure that takes place in the real world, blending elements of scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, escape rooms, and guided tours. Participants solve puzzles, complete challenges, and uncover hidden gems — all while exploring urban landscapes.
