Team building routes in Colchester

Looking for team building ideas in Colchester? Each route below is a story your team solves on foot, clue by clue, and the leaderboard at the end shows which team won.

Exodus Hinge and Colchester's Lost Centurion is the city's most reviewed route and the safe first choice. It starts at Balkerne Gate and takes 88 minutes over 3.6 km, a Roman Britain walking tour played as an escape game. A competitive team can take Death in the Shadows, a murder mystery that starts at the same gate and takes 90 minutes over 2 km. For a shorter outing, West Mersea Highlights takes 60 minutes over 2.9 km from West Mersea Library. Historic Colchester: The Roman Visitor is a second Roman option, 80 minutes over 3.5 km.

How the afternoon runs

There is nothing to organise on the day in Colchester: the app runs the game, keeps the score and shows who won.

  1. Meet at the start point

    Every route starts at a set place, shown on its page. No venue to book.

  2. Split into teams in the app

    Everyone opens the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there.

  3. 60 to 90 minutes of play

    Teams race the same route, team against team, solving clues at real places.

  4. Finish together

    Everyone ends at the same place and sees the leaderboard: one team takes the win.

What organisers ask us

  • How colleagues join

    Everyone installs the free Questo app on iOS or Android. The teams are chosen in the app.

  • Staggered starts

    Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not follow each other, and still finish at the same place.

  • If it rains

    Access never expires. Play another day.

  • Languages

    Each route has its own languages. Check them on the route page before you book.

  • Pace and accessibility

    You set the pace and can pause the game at any time.

  • Bring a charged phone

    The game runs on the phone for the whole route, so start with a full battery.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 268 ratings on the routes in Colchester.

I have lived in Colchester years and walked by all of these things and today I know all about why their there. My only issue was north gate the location you'd have to be working in papa John's to tap it. If recommend and I'll do another with my son soon.
