Escape Game Coimbra
Discover the secret corners of Coimbra and dive into an adventure that brings teams closer together. The CityHunters Escape Game turns colleagues into the central characters of a suspenseful urban quest, guiding them through the city with the CityHunters App and their smartphones. Participants tackle clever puzzles and hands-on challenges, stepping into the role of sleuths whose success depends on clear communication and quick thinking. This team building experience in Coimbra is the ideal chance to celebrate shared wins and sharpen team chemistry.
Start the mission in the heart of Coimbra
The journey sets off at the historic Monastery of Santa Cruz, a striking and convenient launching point for the route. From there, teams weave through Coimbra’s winding streets, passing landmarks such as the Old Cathedral of Coimbra and catching glimpses of the New Cathedral of Coimbra as the city transforms into a live game board. Focus is key — the façades are impressive, but the clues are even more attractive. The cityscape becomes the stage for collaboration, making this a team building event with genuine momentum.
Experience history up close
As the group moves along, Coimbra’s deep history unfolds at every turn. The Botanical Garden of the University of Coimbra offers a tranquil green setting where hidden hints may await, while the Machado de Castro National Museum provides dramatic backdrops and historical context that enrich the puzzle-solving experience. Teams sharpen their listening and reasoning skills as they decode clues and piece together the narrative woven through the city’s heritage sites.
An adventure for every team
The CityHunters Escape Game is adaptable to any group size and objective. Whether planned as a company outing, a department celebration, a company summer party or even a company christmas party, the activity promotes analytical thinking, creativity and cooperative problem solving while participants explore Coimbra’s streets. Notable stops like the Paços da Universidade ou Paços das Escolas and the University of Coimbra General Library provide memorable set pieces for the mission. Beware: every corner holds the potential for a new puzzle that only teamwork can unravel.
An unforgettable team building event in Coimbra
Coimbra’s cultural richness and striking architecture make it a standout location for a team building event that leaves a lasting impression. Beyond historic sites like the Biblioteca Joanina and Igreja da Graça, the city also offers inviting spots to relax and reflect after the game. Finish the day with a shared meal, sampling local flavors and swapping stories about the clues conquered and shortcuts discovered.
Celebrate shared successes
When the mission wraps up, teams take home more than just the satisfaction of solved puzzles: they gain a stronger sense of unity and renewed trust in one another.
