App-Based Scavenger Hunt in Lisbon & Porto
A scavenger hunt.
Rebuilt from the ground up.
This is not a generic treasure hunt with printed maps and laminated clue cards. This is a fully commissioned, app-based city experience – built specifically for your group, in your company’s colours and house style, designed around your objectives, and delivered with a team of professional facilitators on location.
Teams explore Lisbon or Porto through a custom web-based application on their phones – following routes on an interactive map, unlocking challenges at each location, competing against each other in real time. The city becomes your venue. The app becomes your game master.
Available for medium to very large groups. Nationwide on request.
One app. Six types of challenge. One city.
The app takes teams on a journey through the city using an interactive map with pre-set locations and routes. At each stop, a new challenge unlocks. Every challenge type tests something different – keeping energy high and competition real throughout.
Video Challenges
Teams record short video responses at locations across the city – judged for creativity, accuracy and teamwork.
Music Challenges
Identify tracks, recreate sounds or collaborate on musical tasks – breaking the ice and raising the energy.
Puzzles
Logic, observation and lateral thinking – using the city’s architecture, history and landmarks as the backdrop.
Riddles
Written clues that lead teams deeper into the city, connecting culture, language and local knowledge.
Quizzes
Time-pressured multiple choice and open questions on culture, history and company knowledge – fully customisable.
Team Collaboration
Challenges that require the whole team to work together – building real connections while competing across the city.
The app is built specifically for each client – in their brand colours, fonts and house style. Challenge content can be aligned to company values, product knowledge, onboarding objectives or simply designed for maximum fun. Every route is mapped to the city, every location chosen for its visual and cultural impact.
A team of professional facilitators from Go Discover Portugal and Synergized Events is on location throughout – briefing teams, managing the flow, handling logistics and ensuring the experience runs flawlessly from start to finish.
220 real estate professionals. One afternoon. Downtown Lisbon.
Headbox commissioned Go Discover Portugal and Synergized Events to design and deliver a fully bespoke app-based city challenge in Lisbon for a large international real estate company expanding its operations across Iberia.
We built a custom web application from scratch – in the client’s brand colours and house style – that took 220 sales professionals on a two-hour journey through downtown Lisbon. The app featured interactive maps with real-time routing, video challenges, music tasks, puzzles, riddles and team collaboration moments at iconic locations across the city.
Nine facilitators from our team were deployed on location to manage briefing, flow and logistics. The event ran for two hours – a demanding but highly energising format for a group of that size. Client satisfaction was exceptional.

Footage from the live event in downtown Lisbon: 220 participants moving through the city, a custom-built web application in the client’s brand colours, interactive routing on every phone, and nine facilitators keeping the whole thing running.
This is what an app-based scavenger hunt actually looks like on the ground – not a mock-up, not a stock reel.
