Front and centre is the Xmas Adventure, our tour for the festive season. You can book any of these tours as a team building event.
In teams, you puzzle your way through Barrie, collect points, and afterwards celebrate the team with the most points over dinner. The programme comes from myCityHunt, you choose the venue and menu yourselves.
A Christmas party in Barrie works best when the two halves fit together: a programme that gets your people moving and talking, and a table booked wherever you already like to eat. With myCityHunt you keep the second half entirely in your own hands. The venue is yours to choose, the menu is yours to choose — we only take care of the part that happens before anyone sits down. Your teams play a puzzle tour through the centre of Barrie, and because the restaurants of Barrie sit close together, the walk from the last checkpoint to dinner is usually a short one.
The tour runs on the app, in formats such as Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour and Treasure Hunt. Whichever one you pick, the route is set in advance and leads your teams past places like MacLaren Art Centre and Barrie Public Library, with the app handing out riddles, codes and photo challenges as they go. Teams move at their own pace — roughly four kilometres and three hours on foot — while a live leaderboard and a team chat keep everyone aware of who's ahead. All that is needed on the day is a charged phone per team.
Pricing starts from € 16.99 per person plus VAT, and you choose the date and start time when you book — right up to two days beforehand, which suits how last-minute December planning tends to get. Invoices go out by email, and you can pay by invoice, credit card or PayPal, always with a proper VAT invoice attached. The rest of the evening — where you eat, what you eat, how long you stay — stays exactly where it belongs: with you.
Our customers come from a wide variety of sectors. Whether industry, retail, government or services: myCityHunt scavenger hunts are an excellent teambuilding event for your company outing, department party or team event - and that at 6,467 locations around the world.
How about a puzzle tour through Barrie with the myCityHunt app as the program before dinner? Your team heads out in small groups, solves challenges at landmarks across the city, and competes team against team for the top spot on the live leaderboard. Several themes are available, and the tour ends in time for the meal.
The tour comes before the meal: about three hours outdoors in Barrie, and everyone is back in time for dinner. You book the restaurant, and the program before it comes from myCityHunt. For the organizer, that leaves little more to do than picking the date and putting the teams together.
A Christmas party that starts out in the city instead of at the table: your company splits into teams and heads through Barrie before the meal, collecting points against the other teams. If a team gets stuck, a myCityHunt guide is just a chat message away. The date is yours to pick, even at short notice in December, and venue and menu stay entirely your decision.
The tour through Barrie is priced from € 16.99 per person, and you receive an invoice for the booking. Food and drinks afterward are planned by you, so the budget for the evening stays in your hands.
Yes, in a single booking, split into teams that all start together. The price per person stays the same regardless of group size. Mixing departments when forming the teams works well and gets colleagues talking who otherwise rarely cross paths.
You choose the date and the time. The booking is valid for any day you like, in December just like the rest of the year, and the tour starts once the whole team has arrived. Short-notice bookings work too.
Around three hours. That makes it the first half of the evening: the tour first, then dinner with plenty to talk about.
The tour takes place outdoors in Barrie, and you can pause it at any point. If the rain gets heavy or the snow piles up, warm up somewhere dry and pick up right where you left off. Warm jackets and sturdy shoes are part of a Christmas party in December.
