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 IJmuiden, 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 IJmuiden works best when the two halves fit together: a programme that gets your people moving and talking, and a table where they can sit down afterwards and do the same thing with a glass of something warm in hand. We bring the first part, you bring the second — the restaurant, the menu, the room you have probably already booked. Our puzzle tour takes care of the hours before dinner, right out in the centre of IJmuiden, so the walk to the table at the end is a short one, not a reason to call a taxi.
The format depends on what sort of evening you are planning. Choose Xmas Adventure for a tour built around the season, Escape Game for puzzles with a tighter clock, Murder Mystery Tour if your team enjoys working out who did it, or Treasure Hunt for a more classic route through IJmuiden. Whichever one you pick, the app runs the show: it leads every team along a fixed route past places like Hoogovensmuseum, the Watertoren and Velserbeek, hands out riddles, codes and photo challenges, and takes every answer the moment it comes in. Teams move at their own pace across roughly four kilometres and three hours, each one chasing the others up a shared leaderboard, with a team chat running and a photo gallery filling up as the afternoon goes on. Nobody needs anything beyond a charged phone.
Booking is simple on our end too: from € 16.99 per person plus VAT, with your company choosing the date and time and confirming any time up to two days out. We invoice by invoice, credit card or PayPal, always with proper VAT paperwork, so that part of the Christmas party in IJmuiden needs no further thought from you either.
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 IJmuiden 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 IJmuiden, 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 IJmuiden 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 IJmuiden 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 IJmuiden, 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.
