Xmas Adventure Lyon
The winter season is approaching, and what could be better than pairing holiday anticipation with an unforgettable team building event in Lyon? The CityHunters Xmas Adventure invites teams to soak up the festive city atmosphere while solving puzzles and exploring Lyon’s streets. Armed with smartphones and the CityHunters App, teams embark on a Christmas Scavenger Hunt that boosts team spirit while delivering plenty of fun and excitement—just the right amount of seasonal sparkle.
An adventure full of surprises awaits
Imagine a mysterious prize hidden somewhere in the city, waiting for the team that cracks the clues. The meeting point for this yuletide mission is the picturesque Place des Terreaux, though teams can opt to begin elsewhere in the city center. With the CityHunters App guiding each step, participants move from one task to the next as they wander through Lyon’s decorated streets. This blend of puzzle play and urban discovery makes the Xmas Adventure an ideal team building event in Lyon.
Lyon – the perfect backdrop for your team building experience
Lyon, celebrated for its rich history and striking architecture, provides an ideal backdrop for a team building experience. During the Scavenger Hunt, teams will pass some of the city’s most iconic sights, including Lyon Cathedral, the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, Fontaine Bartholdi and the Metallic tower of Fourvière. These landmarks offer visual treats and create a memorable setting for collaborative challenges.
Culinary delights and local anecdotes
A company outing to Lyon would be incomplete without sampling the culinary delights the city is famous for. Along the route, there are chances to try local specialties like the renowned Lyon sausages and delicate pralines. These tasting moments add flavor to the team building event, while the city’s many stories—Lyon’s long-standing reputation as a gastronomic capital, for example—enrich the experience with cultural tidbits.
Flexibility and independence for the event
One of the strengths of the CityHunters Xmas Adventure is its flexibility. Start times and pace can be set to suit the group, making it a great option for a department celebration or a company summer party. With no need for on-site supervision, teams enjoy independence and can easily combine the Scavenger Hunt with other activities, such as visiting a Christmas market or sharing a meal in one of Lyon’s charming restaurants. This team building experience gives organizers the freedom to tailor the day to their needs.
