How Urban Quest online team building activities work
More about Urban Quest virtual team building
Considering the hybrid work arrangements that are here to stay, our online experience for remote teams is an excellent way to energise and motivate your team, provide a challenge and some fun and get the wheels humming!
This online team building activity is specifically designed to be played 100% remotely. It replicates the dynamics and fun of our real-life city-based Urban Quests.
All tasks are based on problem solving and logical thinking. Teamwork would be the key to every single challenge. The teams of 4-5 progress through the game’s stages following the prompts on the screens of their devices for the average duration of 1.5 to 2 hours. Rather than physical activities, we have great online challenges that take advantage of players’ online skills and general knowledge.
Our recommended communication app for remote teams during the event is Zoom. Team members then also interact with our gaming platform on their devices to receive the challenges and log their responses throughout the game.

What Customers Say about Online Urban Quest
“A good collaborative, team-based, fun activity — but with competition involved” Jason M, Product Designer, Canva
Can your team beat these times?
Mission Impossible
Online team building that is genuinely engaging
What Does An Online Team Building Game Actually Involve?
Each Virtual Urban Quest mission is structured as a timed race across multiple challenge stages. Teams work through logic puzzles, code-breaking tasks, and collaborative problem-solving exercises — all designed so different personalities contribute in different ways. No one passenger seats.
The competitive format — with live scoring and a final leaderboard — creates genuine energy that most virtual team activities fail to replicate. It feels less like a meeting and more like a shared event.
Online Team Building FAQs
What is virtual Urban Quest?
Virtual Urban Quest is an online corporate team building experience for remote and hybrid teams, inspired by the Amazing Race style of teamwork and time pressure — delivered entirely online.
Teams of 4–5 collaborate through video call while completing a structured mission made up of problem-solving and logic-based challenges. Using Urban Quest’s proprietary game platform, teams race against the clock, communicate, strategise, and progress through a narrative-driven sequence of tasks.
How does Urban Quest work as an online team building event?
Virtual Urban Quest is run through Urban Quest’s custom game platform, with Zoom (or your preferred video platform) used for team communication.
Typical event flow:
-
Briefing: Everyone joins the main call for a host-led introduction and rules.
-
Gameplay: Teams move into breakout rooms while using the game platform on their devices to receive tasks and submit answers.
-
Host support: The host checks in as needed and keeps timing and momentum on track.
-
Wrap-up: The group reconvenes for scores, winners, and highlights, with post-event results shared after the session.
Who is virtual Urban Quest for?
Virtual Urban Quest is designed for corporate teams working remotely or in hybrid arrangements — including interstate and international teams across multiple time zones.
It suits teams that want a structured, genuinely engaging online experience focused on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving (rather than awkward icebreakers or “show-and-tell” style games).
Is virtual Urban Quest difficult?
It’s designed to be inclusive for mixed skill levels.
Challenges are based on logical thinking, general knowledge, and collaborative problem-solving.
Teams can use online resources where appropriate, and success comes from communication and strategy rather than specialist knowledge.
What are the technical requirements for an online Urban Quest event?
It’s simple.
-
Video call: Zoom is recommended (breakout rooms supported), or a comparable platform with breakout rooms.
-
Devices: Each participant needs a computer/tablet/phone with a stable internet connection.
-
No downloads: The Urban Quest game platform runs in a browser.
Your host will guide the group through setup and make sure everyone is ready before gameplay begins.
How many different virtual experiences does Urban Quest offer?
Urban Quest offers two online team building experiences designed to be played progressively:
-
Mission Impossible – the recommended starting point for new groups
-
M:I-2 – a follow-up experience for returning teams with more advanced challenges
How is virtual Urban Quest different from other online team building activities?
Virtual Urban Quest is built around a structured race format, a proprietary game platform, and challenges designed specifically for teamwork and communication — not passive entertainment.
Instead of isolated mini-games, teams progress through a mission with timed stages that reward strategy, collaboration, and clear decision-making.
The result is a more immersive and competitive experience that feels purposeful, not filler.
How will my team benefit from an online Urban Quest experience?
Virtual Urban Quest strengthens connection and collaboration in remote teams by creating a shared challenge that requires communication under time pressure.
Teams typically experience:
-
stronger cross-team interaction (including quieter team members contributing)
-
improved collaboration and shared problem-solving
-
higher energy and morale compared to standard online activities
-
post-event results that reinforce achievement and shared wins
