Treasure Hunt Guimarães
Experience an adventure that plunges a team into the living history of Guimarães with the CityHunters team building event treasure hunt, a clever blend of collaboration, puzzles and curiosity. Begin at the Tourist Information or any central meeting point, then let the layers of this historic city work their quiet charm. Guimarães, the Cradle of the Nation, provides an ideal stage for a team building event that tightens bonds while keeping spirits high.
On the trail of history
The treasure hunt threads through landmarks that tell Portugal's early story. Teams will pass the imposing Castle of Guimarães and the nearby Church of São Miguel do Castelo, sensing the strategic heartbeat of the place while chasing the next clue. The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza offers a glimpse of ducal grandeur, and spots like Padrão de D. João I and Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira add layers of meaning and mystery as teams decode puzzles and move closer to the prize.
A team building event full of challenges
This team building event pushes colleagues to sharpen clue-solving skills and refine communication under light pressure. The CityHunters app acts as an interactive guide, turning the city into a playful testing ground for teamwork. Every solved riddle is a step toward the elusive treasure, and the experience fits neatly into a company outing, a department celebration or a company summer party, offering a memorable way to boost morale and create shared memories.
A city full of charm and culinary delights
Guimarães pairs its historic sights with tempting local flavors. During the treasure hunt there will be chances to pause at cafés near Teatro Jordão or Palácio de Vila Flor and sample Portuguese treats. A taste of Pastéis de Nata or a glass of Vinho Verde makes for a welcome pick-me-up and a convivial moment to recharge before the next challenge unfolds.
A team building experience in Guimarães is more than an activity; it is a journey that forges collaboration in an inspiring setting. The winding streets, lively squares and sites such as Mosteiro de Santa Marinha da Costa and Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Consolação e Santos Passos set the scene for a balanced mix of discovery and strategy. Each participant contributes strengths to tackle tasks, and the pairing of historic ambiance with modern technology creates a distinctive team building event that lingers in memory.

The CityHunters treasure hunt can be tailored to pace, start point and group size, giving organizers the freedom to shape the experience.
