Team building routes in Birmingham
Looking for team building ideas in Birmingham? Each route below is a story your team solves on foot, clue by clue, and the leaderboard at the end shows which team won.
Haunted Birmingham: Restless Souls is the city's most reviewed route and the safe first choice. It starts at New Street Station, takes 75 minutes over 3.6 km and suits an evening after work. It plays in English, German, Spanish and French, so an international team is covered. A competitive team can take Death in the Shadows, a murder mystery from Centenary Square, 90 minutes over 2.2 km. The 20 Cuts route starts right beside it, so a big group can split between the two games and meet after.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 631 ratings on the routes in Birmingham.
A great way to spend the time with your friends and work together to solve the clues!
Family straightforward. Wasn't able to explore Victoria Square due to setting up of Christmas Market.
I loved the walk around Birmingham. The quest takes a nice amount of time and you get to learn interesting facts about different people, architecture and events that happened historically. I would recommend to anyone who is visiting Birmingham City Centre and has some spare time during the day! Had loads of fun on this quest!
I really enjoyed the Birmingham ghost haunting game, but when the time was running out it wouldn't allow me to add extra time (even though it said this was an option). So I'm not sure if this effected my overall score. Also some of the directions were confusing, such as from the council house to the footpath under the railway.
First time visiting Birmingham and this quest allowed us to see large parts of the city which we wouldn't have seen without it. Really simple and easy to follow. I was so impressed
Really fun tour!! Cool history and pubs.
Team building in Birmingham: questions
6 phones is the smallest team booking, and you pay per phone, not per person. The first five phones cost the same as the route's 5-phone pass, and each phone after that costs half the single price, so the price per phone drops as the team grows. The booking box on this page shows the total in your currency.
6 to 40 phones fit in one payment, and a team of 3 or 4 can share one phone, so a group larger than 40 people can still play. Everyone on their own phone works best. For more than 40 phones, or several routes at once, send the quote form and a person from our team replies by email.
In the app: everyone joins in the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there. Teams play the same route in Birmingham against each other and see the leaderboard at the end. A team can share one phone, but everyone on their own phone is recommended, so nobody watches over a shoulder.
A phone with the free Questo app, on iOS or Android, is all a player needs. After you book, everyone joins the game in the app, and the teams are chosen there. There is nothing to print and no venue to book: meet at the route's start point in Birmingham with charged phones.
There are no fixed start times: teams start when they are ready, on the day you choose. Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not simply follow each other, and they still finish at the same place in Birmingham to see the leaderboard together. You set the pace and can pause.
Each route in Birmingham has its own languages, listed on its quest page, so check them before you book. When your team speaks more than one language, choose a route that offers the ones you need. For anything the page does not answer, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Play another day: access never expires, so if it rains on the day, the booking is not lost. Nothing needs to be rebooked or moved; the team simply starts the game when the weather suits you. You set the pace and can pause, so a short shower is no reason to stop.
Buy the extra phones in one more payment if you need more later. The date is up to you, since access never expires and teams start when they are ready. For more than 40 phones in total, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Yes, one invoice for the whole booking: after you pay by card, request it from the order page with your company name and VAT ID. You pay once for 6 to 40 phones, so there is one order and one invoice. To pay by bank transfer instead, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
There is no time limit: you set the pace and can pause the game whenever you need to. Routes in Birmingham are walked outdoors, and each route page shows its length, so you can choose one that suits the whole team. For specific needs, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
40 phones is the most one online payment covers, and a team of 3 or 4 can share a phone. For more than 40 phones, several routes at once in Birmingham or paying by bank transfer, send the quote form on this page: a person from our team replies by email.
