Question 1

Do you offer both in-person and virtual team building events?

Accepted Answer

We do! We have in-person events that can be further customised and this is the perfect option for an in-person gathering like a retreat or a conference. Our game can also be played online with a virtual host, and this is suited for remote teams that need a cost-affordable alternative.

Question 2

What is the ideal group size?

Accepted Answer

Our city game challenges are designed for group play and can accommodate any group size. We organize participants into smaller teams of 5-8 people each. Whether you're a small work team of 5 people or a large group of over 200, we can create the perfect experience.

Question 3

How is team building accomplished?

Accepted Answer

Our game is an excellent team builder. It was designed to boost creativity, drive cooperation and strengthen personal bonds. The unique challenges offered by the game help players discover new sides of themselves and create great stories to tell, resulting in more connection with their coworkers. And it's super fun!

Question 4

Is there an ice breaker activity?

Accepted Answer

Although our game itself is an excellent ice breaker, for teams that do not all know each other we allow time for introductions before getting started. And our on-site game host is there to brief everyone and make everyone comfortable and ready to go into fun mode.

Question 5

Can you host hybrid teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As long as everyone can join from a personal device, we can distribute the teams randomly across both the remote and the office employees.

Question 6

How much walking distance is covered during the game?

Accepted Answer

The game is designed to be played on foot, with teams walking a total distance of approximately 3-5km. It is important to note that the game has no fixed route, meaning that the actual distance covered will vary depending on the eagerness of each team to walk. However, walking is not simply a means to an end in this game; the act of moving from one location to another can be an opportunity to explore the surrounding area, observe the environment, and interact with fellow team members or complete challenges along the way.

Question 7

Is Urban Challenger suitable for people with limited mobility?

Accepted Answer

If your team includes people with reduced mobility, we can provide an adjusted version of the game that removes the challenges with long walking distance or are otherwise non-accessible. Additionally, we can also provide alternative challenges that cater to different skill levels, so that everyone can fully enjoy the game.

Question 8

How does the game's route in the city go?

Accepted Answer

Urban Challenger is not a conventional scavenger hunt where teams complete the same stations one after the other. In our game, teams can decide for themselves which challenges they want to tackle and in what order. In addition, many challenges are not tied to a specific location in the city and can be completed at very different places. This results in a unique route through the city for each team. Start and end points as well as challenges are always placed in such a way that they are all easily reachable by foot and take into account the particularly noteworthy places in the area.

Question 9

What's the recommended minimum age?

Accepted Answer

The recommended age for our regular game is 16+ years. However, we also have a separate edition of the game for individuals aged 10-16 years. If you require a game for a school class or youth group, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to make special offers for youth groups.

Question 10

What are the prizes for the winners?

Accepted Answer

At the end of the game, there is a prize to be won that encourages the players to give their best. We offer various prizes, including our popular Urban Challenger card game or the coveted Urban Challenger trophy. Moreover, you can bring your own merchandise or prizes for the winning teams, which provides an additional incentive and serves as a marketing strategy for your brand.

Question 11

Where does the event start/end?

Accepted Answer

The game's start and end points are flexible. While we have designated locations in our game zones, we can also begin at your hotel, office, or a park. The game ends either at the starting point or at a nearby venue like a beer garden or restaurant. Just write to us - we'll make you a suitable suggestion.

Question 12

Is the game focused on a specific area of Berlin?

Accepted Answer

The game can be played in various locations throughout central Berlin, including Kreuzberg, Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Neukölln, Wedding, Moabit, Schöneberg, and Charlottenburg. We offer different editions of Urban Challenger that focus on special aspects of the city. For example, the Kreuzberg edition highlights the unique characteristics, atmosphere, and story of this special district. We also offer an edition that takes place in the touristic center, allowing you to experience sights like the Brandenburger Gate in a playful way.

Question 13

How can we play with more than one team?

Accepted Answer

If you are a large group, for example at a birthday party, a big travel group, a school class or a work outing with colleagues, it is a good idea to form several teams and compete against each other. For this you will need one game per team that you want to form, so that everyone has the same set of challenges. Choose a common starting and ending point, set a timer and get started.

Question 14

How many people can play this game?

Accepted Answer

The challenges are designed for group play. You can play with a friend as a duo or with a larger group. However, if there are too many people doing the challenges together, it can become confusing and difficult to involve everyone. Therefore, for larger groups, we recommend dividing into multiple teams and holding a competition to see which team can achieve the most points. This is also how we organize our Urban Challenger events. Note that if you want to form multiple teams, you will need as many card games as the number of teams you want to form.

Question 15

How can this game be played?

Accepted Answer

The Urban Challenger card game offers several game modes. You can set a time limit and attempt to complete as many challenges or score as many points as possible to give the game some drive and energy. It's also great to turn it into a competition. You can divide into multiple teams and compete against one another. Note that each team requires its own deck of cards to ensure everyone has the same challenges.

Question 16

What does it mean that this game can be played anywhere?

Accepted Answer

This Urban Challenger edition includes challenges that are not specific to any particular site or location and can be completed in any urban environment. These challenges are our all-time favorites for engaging with the city around you and entering into a dialogue with your surroundings, as they provide a lot of freedom for you to find your own way to complete them. All you need is an urban environment to use as your playground and have fun, regardless of whether it's a small or big city. Some of the challenges will have you interact with some common features found in any city, such as historical places, statues, or locals roaming the streets.

Question 17

How can we access the online version?

Accepted Answer

In every card game box, there is a code printed on the inside that gives you free access to the online version. Sign up in our app or on our website and select the Urban Challenger Edition that you also purchased as a card game. Enter the code at check-out and payment options to get free access. However, note that you only have one access code. This means that you can only link one user profile for free with the online version and cannot register any number of users.

Question 18

What is the purpose of the online version?

Accepted Answer

The card game Urban Challenger is available in both a printed and online version, with identical content. We developed the printed version because we enjoy holding the cards in our hands and passing them around in a team. However, the digital version has its own advantages, such as a score counter and timer, which can be helpful for competitive play. To fully enjoy both versions of the game, we have a special offer: access to the online version is included with every printed card game! This way, you can choose whether to play purely analog with the cards or utilize the online version as additional support. Each printed card includes a QR code that quickly takes you to the corresponding challenge in the app.
