We tried it for a company team building event in Lisbon and even though some of us were quite familiar with the surroundings, the app would surprise us with beautiful walks, while exposing some of Lisbon's many hidden gems. It was just about the right duration (2h) and difficulty level to keep the team excited and some silly interpretations going ;D After this experience, I think it's worth considering a replacement of the standard "best things to do" search here on TripAdvisor, with a "I want to be Indiana Jones" on Secret City Trails.

For our new joiners we wanted to organize a fun event after their onboarding. From one of our colleagues we heard about the 100 point challenge game. After a nice and informative talk with Dan Paech we planned our first event. On the day itself the weather was perfect. The group was around 25 people divided into 5 groups. The game was super fun, challenging, competitive and a nice way to learn you way around the city even if you have lived here for some time already. Looking forward to our next event hosted by the 100 point challenge game! :)
