Q: How do Urban Quest corporate team building activities work?

Urban Quest operates on a simple yet effective concept. First, the group is divided into teams of 4-5 individuals to ensure optimal collaboration and teamwork. Participants then access our game platform via their smartphones, where they receive instructions, submit answers, and uncover Augmented Reality clues. Throughout the experience, teams navigate the city, exploring specific landmarks and hidden lanes where clues are cleverly integrated. This immersive approach adds an extra layer of excitement and engagement to the adventure. As teams progress, they are tasked with solving puzzles and challenges that require efficient communication and utilisation of each member’s unique strengths. Creativity, collaboration, and quick thinking are the keys to success.

Q: How Urban Quest is different from other corporate team building activities?

Urban Quest stands out from other team building options thanks to our cutting-edge experience design, innovative use of technology, and advanced performance-tracking capabilities. We’ve taken the widely recognised concept of the amazing race and refined it to create an experience that’s accessible to almost anyone. Unlike traditional corporate team building activities that may be either too physically demanding or lacklustre, we’ve carefully crafted our experience to ensure it’s dynamic and engaging for all participants. Our focus is on fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Our Team Activator or Strategic Debrief packages provide valuable takeaways and tangible results that transform your team. At Urban Quest, we’re not just providing an activity – we’re delivering an unforgettable experience that brings teams closer together and enhances their skills in a fun and interactive way.

Q: What is the rundown of an Urban Quest corporate team building event?

The day kicks off with arrival at your designated starting location, about 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. Here, you’ll gather with your pre-assigned teams and meet your event host, who will guide you through the game instructions and ensure everyone is set up and ready to roll on the game platform. Once briefed, it’s time to hit the streets! Your team will embark on an exhilarating journey to uncover clues, solve riddles, and conquer challenges together. All Urban Quest corporate team building activities are a test of teamwork, strategy, and problem-solving skills as you race against the clock and rival teams. After completing your Urban Quest, we’ll regroup for a celebratory wrap-up. Expect plenty of high-fives, as we announce scores, highlight achievements, and crown the victorious team. It’s the perfect way to conclude a day filled with fun, camaraderie, and memorable experiences.

Q: What is your contingency plan being an outdoor event?

If the weather conditions are particularly bad or you specifically prefer an indoor option, we offer a CBD experience that’s entirely indoors – “Black Friday Quest”! You can select this option when booking, or we can switch your group to the indoor experience at the start of your event if the weather turns unfavourable for outdoor activities. Even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, your Urban Quest event will never get cancelled.

Q: How physically challenging Urban Quest corporate team building activities are?

Each Urban Quest is crafted to be inclusive and enjoyable for all participants, regardless of age or fitness level. Teams have the flexibility to set their own pace, ensuring that everyone can fully participate and enjoy the experience. As for distance, Urban Quest routes typically cover a manageable distance within the designated area, ensuring that participants can comfortably navigate the course while engaging in team building activities.

Q: Is it suitable for people in wheelchairs?

Urban Quest’s CBD corporate team building activities are designed to be as accessible as possible, making use of existing infrastructure to ensure wheelchair users can participate comfortably. While some challenges may require mobility, the majority of the experience is accessible to people in wheelchairs, allowing them to fully engage and enjoy the activities alongside their teammates.

Q: What corporate group sizes can you accomodate?

Urban Quest is equipped to accommodate groups of any size seamlessly. Our technology-driven approach means that we can efficiently manage larger groups without the need for additional staff. Depending on the group size, we may make minor adjustments to the game design to ensure smooth logistics and an enjoyable experience for all participants.

Q: What do participants need for the Urban Quest event?

As a participant, all you need is a fully charged smartphone and to arrive on time for the event! As the group organiser, you’ll be responsible for assigning participants to teams and ensuring they receive any essential information we provide at the time of booking.

Q: Where do Urban Quest corporate team building activities start and finish?

Every Urban Quest team building experience has established start/finish points. Corporate groups usually meet at one of our partnering venues in CBD and Docklands unless there are specific requirements or the venue of your choice. Custom start and finish locations can be arranged based on your specific needs.

Q: How long Urban Quest corporate team building activities go for?

Urban Quest events typically last between 2 to 2.5 hours, including pre-event brief and post-event awards. The corporate experience duration is thoroughly thought out and strikes the perfect balance, ensuring participants achieve their objectives without feeling overwhelmed.
