A festive hunt, not a buffet under strip-lighting

A festive hunt, not a buffet under strip-lighting

Each team gets a sealed case and a tablet, then heads out into the festive city to crack a seasonal mystery together. It's the bit people actually talk about at the next year's party — no awkward standing around required.

How the evening unfolds

From first hot wine to the final toast — here's the run of the night.

Frequently asked questions

When can we book a Christmas party?

Our festive format runs from mid-November to the end of January. Popular December dates go quickly, so we recommend booking a few weeks ahead.

How big can the group be?

We host groups from 4 up to 300 participants. To ensure everyone is actively involved, we split larger groups into smaller teams of up to 6 people.

How long does it take?

You should plan for roughly 2 hours in total. This includes the hot wine welcome, around 90 minutes for the outdoor hunt, and the grand finale. It is perfectly designed to lead straight into an evening dinner.

What if it is freezing or wet?

Our puzzle cases are weatherproof and we play in typical winter weather — just wrap up warm! For severe conditions or official weather warnings, we will of course work with you to find a solution or reschedule.

Where do we eat afterwards?

We meet at a central spot in Sheffield. Once you have completed the game, the location serves as the perfect starting point to head to a nearby restaurant or pub for your festive dinner. Let us know if you need recommendations in the area!

Is it accessible?

The route covers about 1.8 to 2.4 km and is largely barrier-free, without major obstacles or stairs. Please let us know in your enquiry if you have specific accessibility requirements.

The Christmas do people actually want to attend

Swap the function-room buffet for something with a pulse. Teams are out in the festive city, solving a mystery together, laughing in the cold — then warming up with a drink. It lands very differently from the usual end-of-year sit-down.

Team-building, disguised as a party

It works like our team event — every kind of thinker contributes — but wrapped in tinsel. You get the bonding of an offsite and the celebration of a Christmas party in one evening.

We handle the festive logistics

Venue, hot wine, route, the lot. You pick a date and a kick-off time; we wrap the rest right here in Sheffield. No spreadsheets, no last-minute panic.
