At City Game, we turn ordinary city streets into playgrounds of adventure, mystery, and discovery — perfect for corporate teams, families, tourists, and anyone craving a unique urban experience.

Why Scav Hunts Are Taking Over City Exploration

Scavenger hunts have evolved far beyond childhood games. Today, they’re at the heart of urban adventure tourism, blending exploration, teamwork, and technology for unforgettable experiences. According to recent research, scavenger hunts and city escape games are booming globally, with both locals and tourists seeking interactive ways to discover city secrets and foster personal growth.

The Benefits of a Scav Hunt

• Boosts Cognitive Skills: Solving clues and navigating city streets sharpens memory, observation, and spatial awareness.
• Fosters Teamwork: Whether you’re a family, a group of friends, or a corporate team, scav hunts encourage communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
• Supports Well-Being: Playful learning environments stimulate imagination, improve memory, and support mental health.
• Educational Value: For kids and adults alike, scav hunts reinforce problem-solving, adaptability, and real-world learning.
• Unforgettable Fun: There’s nothing like the thrill of racing against the clock or uncovering a city’s hidden gems with your favorite people.

“You learn better when it’s fun and you’re relaxed — studies show that play stimulates the cerebral cortex to grow and improves our memory. And play is good for your mental health and wellbeing. On top of all this, sharing laughter with your colleagues helps you to connect, making your communication easier when you get back to the office.”
