What Melbourne Corporate Teams and School Groups Say About Urban Quest

Real Team Building Stories from Melbourne

The teams on this page didn’t just do a team building activity — they came back. ExxonMobil has run 4 Urban Quest events. Performio, AvePoint and Pryda have each returned multiple times. That repeat rate is the most honest review we can offer.

Below you’ll find video testimonials from HR managers, team leaders, teachers and students at organisations including ExxonMobil, Canva, BDO, Jetstar, DoorDash, Jotun, Kaplan Business School, Smartbear, Performio, Pryda, AvePoint, eSuperfund, Melbourne Airport, Williamstown College and Somerville School — across corporate, conference and school excursion formats.

More stories are added regularly as new groups complete their Urban Quest experience.

What You’ll Hear

These are unscripted conversations recorded immediately after each event. Participants talk about what surprised them, what they noticed about their team, and whether they’d do it again. The recurring themes — inclusivity, energy, genuine collaboration — are consistent across industries, group sizes and formats.

Many organisers visit this page to see what Urban Quest is really like before booking a team event. Watching these stories can help you understand how the experience works in practice — and how it might benefit your own team or students.

Why Teams Come Back

A one-off team building activity is easy to forget. What organisers tell us makes Urban Quest different is that the experience creates a reference point the team keeps returning to — a shared challenge that surfaces how people actually work together under pressure, and gives them something to build on.

The “Events with Urban Quest” count shown on each video reflects how many times that organisation has returned. It’s the number we’re most proud of.

What Teams Love About Urban Quest

Whether it’s a corporate group, a conference team, or a school cohort, participants consistently say the same thing: Urban Quest brings people together in a way few activities can.

Instead of passive entertainment, teams must actively collaborate to solve clues, navigate the city, and complete creative challenges.

In the process, participants naturally begin to:

-> communicate more openly

-> share ideas and strategies

-> recognise each other’s strengths

-> build trust and camaraderie

For many groups, this shared challenge becomes a turning point that strengthens relationships long after the event ends.
